A large number of Chetan Bhagat's books are free with Amazon Prime Reading. It is for this reason and this reason alone that I read "One Indian Girl". Also because "All the money in the world" was proving to be a little long winded after starting briskly. (I kept losing track of the Getty offspring in "All the money...").
With One Indian Girl, Chetan writes from a girl's point of view for the first time. I was happy to note Chetan's grammar, ability to spell, punctuate is so much better vs 2 states, which I read for free again. (Please note the trend here - clearly, I believe subliminally that the intrinsic value of a CB book is Rs. 0.) The plot as with every CB book is wafer thin - the story of a random girl's relationships. But CB is trying to deliver a message here, I think. CB wants to be seen as a feminist. CB wants to be a politician eventually, or maybe just taken seriously.

Even so, though CB is CB, his plots are thinner than hair, and his plots are mostly purloined from his working life/ vacations, he does manage to keep you engrossed in the girl's tale: like a bad TV serial you started watching years ago and can't give up, just because you must know what happens in the end. For that and for CB learning better grammar and punctuation, I am willing to give this book 2 out of 5.
