There is not a dull moment in this book. The story is fast-paced and finished in an hour or two. It is one of the best books I have ever read. I laugh out loud on a few episodes. Twinkle Khanna was fat as a child, and her mother buys clothes for a fourteen-year-old when she was just seven. She used to eat mangoes sitting on the potty. This book makes anyone laugh.

Mrs Funnybones: She's just like You and a lot like Me is a fabulously witty attempt by Twinkle Khanna to capture the life of a modern Indian woman who has to organise dinner for her family every evening even though she has to go to work for the whole day. She also has to deal with the constant nagging of her Mummyji who is more concerned about her weight. Mrs Funnybones is a must-read for those who enjoy the awesome blend of sarcasm and humour. thoughtwhen someone is constantlyaskingme todo something?
