My Best Friend's Son's Wedding

My Best Friend's Son's Wedding by Zarreen Khan is a hilarious, heart warming at times, about friendship, love, belonging, loss of a loved one, family drama and high class socialite drama. The story is narrated by Kittu, who is best friends with The Minty Sood, technically the daughter-in-law of the Sood Family but have always been their adopted daughter after her husband Sunny Sood passed away after 3 months of their marriage.Minty Sood has always spent her life behind raising her only son Parthav Sood, and kept him away from the page 3 drama that happens around Delhi. She has recently turned Forty but things don't look that way with her life and she looking very younger than her actual age. She was recently proposed by Puneet Bhalla, and was happy to accept his proposal and move ahead in life.But before she could share this news with her son and the family, her son Parthav told her he is proposing her 1 year old love Pooja and is ready to settle with her in Mumbai. This leaves MInty thinking about her son's life and In-Laws about her image so she postpones her wedding with Puneet and focuses her energy on making Parthav's wedding a huge success.Now, I really liked the friendship component between Kittu and Minty, and also their third friend Ashra. They have been friends since college times. I was at times annoyed with how controlling Kittu was with Minty's life and persuading her to make life decisions the way she wanted it, but I guess this was the nature of this character, and I am glad eventually everything with Kittu settles down with her thoughts are out spoken by Ashra.The support Prathav has shown to her mother is also beautiful and very flawless. I liked how supportive Minty's In-Laws have been of her and helped her figure out and move on in life. But yet she will always been The Minty Sood, because that's just who she is. There's a lot more to this book and I want you all to pick this up right now.The writing style is flawless as usual. I have author's first book too but haven't read it yet. And now since I have read this one I cannot wait to pick that up too. I am sure it is also going to be witty and hilarious just like this one.

And other than her, all characters are relatable.The story no doubts is an entertaining one and will keep you hooked but the climax disappointed me. I think the author was in some hurry to end the book as the story takes too many jumps in the end.Overall, this one time read narrated in a very juicy manner way by Kittu will surely entertain you.
