Review:
Dating is an undeniably daunting task, especially when you are looking for the real deal to settle down with. When a 30 - something woman signs up on a dating website for people looking to get married, she realizes just how delightful, vexing, amusing and befuddling trying to find the perfect husband can be. Based on real-life experiences, this book is not a guide to dating, but rather a delightful collection of episodes about meeting potential partners, epiphanies about them and soul-searching questions that will make you see relationships without the rose-tinted glasses of love. Especially pertinent to this age of online dating, hilarious, honest and witty, this delicious-as-a-cappuccino book is for all those who are looking for love, in love or in between. With advice as sage (gained the hard way) as that in He's Just Not That Into You and scenarios as funny and outrageous as those in Sex and the City, 50 Cups of Coffee is the perfect book to curl up with when a suitable bae is not available.
In this book, the protagonist who is the author herself and is well above the accepted 'marriageable age' narrates her experiences on trying to find a suitable husband through various means like online dating sites, matrimonial sites, through acquaintances, parties, etc. They meet for cup(s) of coffee to get to know each other better and decide to either continue seeing each other or part ways amicably. She meets a potpourri of suitors but is impressed by none and she describes each of these dates in witty detail. The book is short and funny. The humour in her writing is impeccable. The book with the help of humour, calls out patriarchal and misogynist behaviour. The incidents and characters are relatable and is sure to make the reader laugh out loud. Towards the end, the theme becomes slightly repetitive but on the whole, it is a breezy, jocular read, which is sure to lighten up the spirits of the reader.
Rating : 4.1/5
