Tara isn't happy with her ongoing life. She wants to get rid of monotonous routine. She feels herself lonely in the crowded world, She is in search of the true Tara. But how to ? she doesn't know."All I want is a little clarity and some direction in life. I am not asking for too much, am I?" She always ask herself. One day she gets reply that it's she only, who can answer.The main character Tara actually represents those adults, who struggle hard to live their life on their own. Pshycological conflict, thirst for unknown desire and frustration for no reason are the main ingredients of the story. The way of writing is quite tempting.In nut shell, it's delicious and yummy. Everyone should taste it.

After reading so many intense and deep books this past month, Yours Sincerely, Misfit by Swati Bansode came as a really nice change.The book is about Tara, a 21 year old who comes from a middle-class family. And like all middle-class families, hers is so very protective. And our protagonist just wants an independent life. She shifts to Mumbai, gets a job but oh! The 9-5 setup doesn’t works for her. She wants to do something different, not a job definitely, like all the new generation kids. She keeps complaining about her life, her situation, her future; she complains about everything, because NOTHING IS AS SHE WANTS!Her roommate, Aditi listens and shoulders her problems patiently. There is Kshitij, who after hearing about Tara’s constant grumbling, decides on having ‘chai time’ every evening, where he’ll listen all that Tara has to say about. Without judgment.It was such an enjoyable and light read; I relished every bit of it. It is the author’s own story and she has done an incredible work writing it. It was so witty, I have never read anything with so much sense of humor. Even though Tara’s problems were real, the author wrote them so comically, I was laughing even when the she was crying. Actually, I couldn’t stop laughing throughout the book.The book got a little stretched out in middle; the complaining part. Tara’s whining got a too much at a point, and the author could have shortened that bit. Otherwise, it was a perfect read. The writing style is absolutely amazing. The book is set in Mumbai, and the characters’ way of life was depicted so perfectly, I related to it highly. I loved Aditi’s character; the way she supports Tara throughout the book. I loved Tara’s and Khsitij’s ‘chai time’. I don’t know why but I also loved the fact that instead of calling it ‘tea time’, the author called it ‘chai time’. The language is very simple and god…..the wittiness is on another level.Sometimes all you need is a short, light read. And oh….don’t forget your cup of chai!!

This book is a revelation. It is honest and steeped in reality. Many youngsters can relate to the predicament that Tara, the protagonist, finds herself in. She is just twenty one years old, but is unhappy with her current situation. Her journey into adulthood is so typical of today's youngsters. One can't help feeling her emotions and falling in love with her character. The other characters are woven seamlessly into the story and the young author, Swati Bansode, has outdone herself to bring out a realistic readable book. I recommend this book to everyone.

The first book by an author is the most important one in his/her career given the fact that it sets the writing style that the readers will judge the future books on. I am happy to say that the Author Swati has done an amazing job of setting her own writing stlye that sets her apart from other readers. She has a way of expression in words that is unmatched by a lot of seasoned authors. I would say this is the best comfort book that you can read over the weekend and even share it with your close ones.

This book is truly an awesome one. It definitely has the potential to hit everyone at a very different level, as at one point or another all go through the so-called phase. This book did not give me a typical happy ending vibe instead a motivational air starts surrounding and marking an end & a beginning. I was very curious in the last two chapters as those were the last few pages & still the story was on a cliffhanger. Loved it. ❤️ 😍

This is a must read book for everyone. You can easily connect with the protagonist Tara and you really get involved in her crazy journey as the author has explained the story very well. Language is simple and the drama included is enjoyable. All in all, this is a great read for a cozy weekend.
