You-Are-Here by Meenakshi Madhavan Reddy

Penguin India. Paperback. NEW. ‘The trouble with my life is that it`s like a bra strap when you put your bra on wrong.` At twenty-five, life`s innumerable entanglements are getting to Arshi. Her blonde American step-mom`s trying too hard (she`s taken to welcoming guests with a traditional aarti). The gorgeous guy who has Arshi all flushed and dreamy doesn`t seem to be trying at all (he`s the Ice Prince who thaws at his own convenience). Her best friend Deeksha`s going to be married in a few months (Arshi`s still in the process of finding the correct labels for the men in her life). And, her otherwise unruffled, cocktail-concocting flatmate Topsy`s getting testier by the day because her conservative family will never approve of the darling guy she`s in love with. What`s more, there`s a cheating ex-boyfriend, a weepy neighbor and a heinous boss who need to be told where to get off. Her head spinning wildly with the sheer gravity of her life`s quandaries, Arshi realizes what she needs most now (besides a barrelful of alcohol and some serious post coital cuddling) are just a few epiphanies of the right kind. Saucy, wise and audaciously candid, You Are Here introduces a bold and irresistible new voice.
