After a shocking phone call from her mother, Reeva Mehta's life starts to sound like the plot of a Bollywood drama. From the outlandishly funny author of 30 Things I Love About Myself comes a hilarious, heartwarming novel about love, family, and new beginnings. Thirty-four-year-old Reeva thought her life couldn't possibly get more complicated, until her semi-famous Bollywood mother calls to tell her that she's been lying to her daughters for decades--the father they thought died thirty years ago has been alive this whole time. Only now he actually is dead. Worse? His dying wish was for Reeva and her sisters Sita and Jaya to attend his funeral prayers--which means spending a fortnight together at his house, surrounded by relatives they never knew existed. Reeva already has more than enough going on in her life. She's an overworked London lawyer, her hair is falling out due to stress-induced alopecia, she can't decide if her new boyfriend, Nick, is really as wonderful as he appears to be, and her brand-new cat is playing hard to get (even for a cat). And now she has to spend two weeks with the sisters she hasn't spoken to since Jaya stole her boyfriend and Sita took her side. But as Reeva slowly learns more about their father and his life--with the help of his sister, aka her new, wise Satya Auntie--she starts to uncover the complicated truth of their past...and realizes she needs Jaya and Sita more than she ever could have imagined.
