Everything comes together to leave the reader cackling away in laughter. Dwell deeper because this book will certainly make you think The tag line of the book, 'She s just like and a lot like me” coupled with the celebrity author might make one wonder, how can one compare a normal Indian household life with the glamorous life of someone like Twinkle Khanna.

That is what makes the book relatable even through it has been written by someone who s the daughter of celebrities and married to one.
