What’s a girl gotta do to get her first bra, her first kiss, her first love? If you thought the Middle East was all about fatwas and burkhas, think again. Join the fun as Veena, a naive teen from India, bungles her way through adolescence on the island of Bahrain. Laugh out loud as she deals with the intricacies of stubborn bras, crazy parents, racist classmates, first love, and the No-No Club, an abstinence club that degenerates into the Yes-Yes Club. If you’ve ever struggled with body image issues, ever wanted to be different from what you are, ever wanted a hot guy or girl you couldn’t have, or if you just want a good laugh, this novel is for you, whether you’re nine, ninety, or anywhere in between.Dearauthor.com said of this novel:After I read and enjoyed “Indian Maidens Bust Loose,” I knew I wanted to try more of your work. “Bras, Boys and Blunders” seemed like it would be a great merger of YA with Multiculturalism….How does this one differ? It’s in Bahrain. I thought I knew a little about the Kingdom but obviously not as much as I imagined I did. So it’s good that I read this and expanded my knowledge base – a lot.… the setting places it apart and makes it worth the effort to seek out.
