Learn moreAfter 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.

Reviews
"Hilariously funny, totally heartfelt and completely original – a perfect comedy about family, sisterhood and self-discovery. I learned so much about Hindu culture and really related to the stresses of dealing with difficult friendships, family drama and alopecia to boot. Radhika Sangani is a huge talent!"—Laura Price, author of Single Bald Female
"A heartwarming novel about families and how to survive them."
—Sheila O’Flanagan, author of What Eden Did Next
“If you thought the Kardashians were dramatic, wait until you meet the Mehta sisters. … With her signature wit and relatable characters, Sanghani delivers dramatic hijinks mixed with relevant themes (family dysfunction, anxiety) and charm.”
—Booklist
“Readers will enjoy the relatable characters, the snappy one-liners, and the wise and hip auntie who transcends the page and reminds readers to be kind to themselves.”
—Library Journal
"A glorious warm hug of a book!"
—Harriet Minter, author of Working From Home

A truly gifted storyteller…Sanghani’s charmingly flawed characters are so lovable and authentic you’ll feel like you’re part of the Mistry family. In turns uproariously funny and tenderly touching, 30 Things I Love About Myself is the perfect antidote for today’s stressful world.”
—Lori Nelson Spielman, New York Times bestselling author of The Star-Crossed Sisters of Tuscany

—Jenn McKinlay, New York Times bestselling author of Wait For It
