The new novel from the bestselling author of The Zoya Factor and Battle for Bittora. In a sprawling bungalow on New Delhi s posh Hailey Road, Justice Laxmi Narayan Thakur and his wife Mamta spend their days watching anxiously over their five beautiful (but troublesome) alphabetically named daughters. Anjini, married but an incorrigible flirt; Binodini, very worried about her children s hissa in the family property; Chandrakanta, who eloped with a foreigner on the eve of her wedding; Eshwari, who is just a little too popular at Modern School, Barakhamba Road; and the Judge s favourite (though fathers shouldn t have favourites): the quietly fiery Debjani, champion of all the stray animals on Hailey Road, who reads the English news on DD and clashes constantly with crusading journalist Dylan Singh Shekhawat, he of shining professional credentials but tarnished personal reputation, crushingly dismissive of her state-sponsored propaganda , but always seeking her out with half-sarcastic, half-intrigued dark eyes. Spot-on funny and toe-curlingly sexy, Those Pricey Thakur Girls is rom-com specialist Anuja Chauhan writing at her sparkling best.

This is a well written book with witty and humorous moments all over it.Well fleshed out and fully developed characters compliment the simple yet charming setting of the book. The plot is pretty much straightforward and predictable but that doesn't really take away much from the pleasure of reading ...
A 3.5 actually.This is the first book I've read by Anuja Chauhan. It was the title that really attracted (the book cover was not without its influence however)me, and I began reading the book with a lot of excitment. By the time I'd finished about 70 pages I was beginning to feel a twinge of regret....
This was just fun! Review to come! :D
