Tea for two and a piece of cake: My review

This is a third book by author Preeti Shenoy, recently released on 14th feb 2012. I eye-catch this on  Preeti Shenoy's personal blog and place my order on Flipkart.com  immediately. After 3 days I grab this book and start reading.

About the book

Preeti Shenoy has this unusual style of writing, which is easy to understand and relate with a pinch of humor too. well this book is a life and love story of a girl who lives in Mumbai, whose marriage took flight like a fairy-tale and got a sudden drop like a bomb in her life, then after she manages to live all alone with her two kids. An old friend gave her a support in all possible ways and made her life a lot more interesting.

The story was nice but not new, I liked the beginning....The title of the story was justified too late in the chapters (but its doesn't matter if one is reading the whole book) The characters were finely crafted and of all, I liked Mrs.Billimoria's character most.... The story wasn't that appealing for me but i did like some phrases and lines...

Like:

'Here you have it, tea for two and a piece of cake, plus, of course, conversation. This small moments are what make life worthwhile'


'No women ever hated a man so much as to return his diamonds'


I also like the description of the city Pondicherry , which is beautifully narrated

In last this book was just ok for me in comparison to the earlier books of Preeti. But anyways I love to read her and looking forward for more in the future.
