Review of "There's Something About You" - Yashodhara Lal

There definitely is something about this book that kept me riveted. But, thankfully, I can point out those things. As expected, its a romantic story with a huge dollop of wit. Trish, the main character, is overweight with a heart of gold and... umm... sarcasm!! After loosing her job, she is accidentally and  secretly contracted as a bitch-slapping agony aunt for a column in the same paper.

Life is hell as usual for her till Sahil, a jobless (however, he does have big-money family business), geeky but handsome guy with super-powers (read touch-sensitive intuition), enters and helps her to put back some of the scattered pieces of the life-puzzle. Through in a set of dependent nagging parents and you are in for some ticklish situations.

Its a fun read and won't let you down with a constant doze of sarcasm. Its not your regular sweep-you-off-your-feet romance although it is sweet and heart warming for a few pages here and there. The characters, specially the lead, could have been defined better physically (Trish is overweight and has curly hair. Sahil is lean and wears spectacles. Period!) All the rest is left to the reader's imagination. Somehow, I couldn't relate to the characters and a little more detailing could have been added. The last few chapters were rushed though they were captivating and left you wanting to know more about the characters.
