About That Summer

A sweet and spicy summer story sure to put a smile on your face... 'The Indian Queen of Family Sagas brings you one of her best reads till date! If you are in the mood for a light and breezy yet heartwarming summer romance, this sweet book will do the job. A must read for 2019.' ~ D.B., 22 May 2019 Meet Ria - All of 20, a mature, strong, independent young woman. Neha’s daughter, now all grown up from the little girl in pigtails, we met in The Wedding Tamasha & Priyamvada and Co. She’s looking forward to an uneventful, lazy summer back home from college - but will her wish come true? Sid is recovering from a nasty break-up. He wants to get away from all the negativity back home, and decides a family vacation is just what he needs. Or is it? Then, of course, there’s Neha - Ria’s mother. A widow, an entrepreneur, a teacher, and a mother, among other things, this gutsy fireball of an achiever is confident and ready to take on a whole lot more. Will the universe continue to conspire to keep her and Prithvi apart? Summer sparks fly! Romance is in the air... But will the drama of the jealous ex-lover, the scheming starlet, the backstabber, the resentful childhood friend, be too much for our quirky, yet very close-knit Menon family? Will Ria find the storybook romance she’s been missing all of her life? Will Sid be able to overcome the ghosts of his past, and claim the girl of his dreams? Read this fun, breezy, and light tale to find out - with lots of happy glimpses into the lives of characters from the prequels and the further unfolding of lives of the Menon sisters, Shweta and Neha. Can also be read as a standalone ... 'In the third of the Menon Women series, we meet an older Ria, Neha’s daughter and Shweta’s niece. She doesn’t care for boys, only books and Pom, but summer has other plans for her. The narrative deftly weaves through the intricate lace of emotions that first love brings with it. As with the previous two novels in the series, Sudha Nair creates an all-too real summer of first love, plunging into its heart and soul. Ria’s narrative is layered with others, interweaving narratives making ’About That Summer’ a light but delicious read. Kinda like a kaala-khatta popsicle.' ~ Anu, 21 May 2019 'Fantastic third book in the series.
