Koi good new?: Mona and Ramit's pregnency

I really enjoyed this book after picking it up accidently. There were so many chapters when I laughed out loud and the book is hillerious. I just found the ending to be bit abrupt, and maybe that was because I did not want the book to end. But still the ending could have been potrayed more on the joyful side.

I was laughing out loud from the very first page till the last one, and also for many many hours later because random, ridiculously relatable but hilarious incidents from the book kept popping up my mind throughout the day!!Mona is the most adorable main character with such a realistic, thought process, she could be you or anyone you know. The lightning fast way one topic leads to another in her head, her insecurities, touchy subjects between the couple...everything is portrayed so believably! The main topic here of course is the Indian society and the kind of pressure a family and even strangers can put on young married couples for such personal, life changing decisions, and the mortification of the said couple at having to discuss these things with elders of the house or sit through the weirdest indirect conversations--the writer has caught every nuance.The character of the husband was the clear cut winner for me! Supportive, or trying to be, does not understand Mona 100% of the time, but tries to at least. His absolutely hilarious balancing of the 2 mothers (Mona's and his) and his own family of 1000 cousins.....He's not perfect and neither is she but they are very much in sync, and very much genuinely in love.Even the side characters shined, right from the ditzy and at times frustratingly infuriating younger sister, to both the mothers trying to have more of a say in the couple's lives, the glitzy neighbours...it was a truly wonderful read!Maybe its because of the diary-style narrative, but it makes you feel very involved and take each mortification personally, and you'll find yourself cheering for the couple when they manage to have their small wins (like the name of the baby lol)Its not a thought changing book but its hilarious and relatable in the best possible way. I would recommend every young couple to read it, and most definitely the new husbands! I think everyone can take a few notes on how to not lose yourselves in the midst of the crazy pressures of your own family :)

'Koi Good News' is breezy and unputdownable. I finished it in a day (and that includes having to show up at work, though I did consider falling 'sick'). Loved how the entire bheed was etched out so colourfully. Also loved Mona's side of the family, especially Shania's 'phases'. This book is a riot, and I can see how it's already been optioned to become a Bollywood movie.I highly recommend this to anyone who doesn't want to be pregnant, is pregnant, or has already been through the whirlwind. Oh wait. That's EVERYONE. And once you're done with this, also go back and read her first book, 'I Quit Now What' if you haven't already done so.Disclaimer - I know the author, but these opinions are my own.

Koi good news hai is a perfect read for those you already have given the news, those who have one on their way and those who may plan to. A fantastic narrative of this crazy family staright out of a bollywood film, super entertaining and most importantly hilarious. I had my bouts of laughter while reading the book and wanted this one to never end. Must pick this summer and this one could be a great holiday read!

Awesome. Writer has narrated her actual experiences so nicely and most of them are humorous also.Once you start reading it keeps on getting interesting more and more
