 I Didn't Expect to be Expecting by Richa S. Mukherjee is a hilarious fiction that even if is a fiction has subtle lessons for young readers.

The story line is very interesting ! Readers who are enthusiasts of Young adult Rom coms will enjoy it particularly as it is a contemporary fiction. Here Tara is a very relatable character. She is fun loving. Everything is settled and nicely arranged in her life. When even her parents are very supportive of her , she is enjoying her life to the fullest . She was not planning for a baby and babies are great responsibility. Going out , having fun with friends and family, arranging her life perfectly she was all about. 




After all she is only 31 now. But, She gets pregnant unexpectedly !This takes a turn in her life. While she is extremely tensed and stressed about the new experiences which was not at all prepared about , this unexpected arrival brings in a lot of learning for her and her partner.  Their transformation from carefree young couple to a parental responsible figure slowly emerge out . But it is not a serious drama read but an amusing combo added with funniest , even annoying and quirky family members who keep giving them advices , embarrassing and funny  moments with witty narrative style. 


What I liked are : 
Lucid smooth narration
Fresh new plot 
Easily relatable Indian characters 
Light read that made me giggle and feel joyous.
