Book Review: Done with Men by Suchi Singh Kalra


First of all, Thanks to the author for giving me the ebook to read and review!  Done with Men was a funny, entertaining novel for me. 

A short summary -
Travel journo, Kairavi Krishna (Kay) has had it with men. After a series of disasters (losers, philanderers, leeches, mama's boys and possessive psychos), she is all too tempted to walk out on the prospect of ever finding love. Accompanied by her best friend and flat-mate Baani, she sets off for Goa, hoping to get away from her miserable love life and vowing to stay clear of the male species. 
Goa however, has a host of surprises in store for her. Ricky, her pesky ex-boyfriend, is busy painting the town red with his hot new girlfriend. Now what is poor Kay to do other than overdose on vodka, smoke pot, get an outrageous tattoo and fall off the hotel balcony? She wakes up in the hospital to the tender ministrations of Dr.Vivian D'Mello--young, suave and handsome as hell. Will Kay stick to her guns or will she fall for his ridiculously sexy charms? And what's up with the mixed signals he's giving out?

I enjoyed the book very much. Normally, even though i read chick-lits, i don't use to like it much, mainly because it always use single perspective narrations and also, lot and lot of pages, with an abrupt ending! But, this one was good, i mean, make-you-feel-your-heart-good.

I loved Kairavi's perspective and the book did not drag and my favorite, novellas! I was hooked with the first chapter itself, the way how we are introduced to Kay in a hospital and the circumstances behind it, it was so funny. And i loved the way author narrated the story, her writing style was beautiful. Romantic moments between Kay and Vivian were great. But, still there are some very few things i thought was lacking for me, it would have been nice if we had got what hotshot doctor was thinking, his perspective would have made the story more interesting, especially at the end! It was ok, as we did'nt know what Dr Vivian was thinking and feeling, it created a tension at the end which in turn made the story more interesting! Without any conflict or tension, the happy ending will not be this much sweet! And, i loved the happy ending. I would love to read the author's other books. 

My rating would be 4.25 stars.
