It's beautiful how we connect things to people. You'll see a bench and it will remind you of a couple. Flowers might remind you of how your dad gets them for your mom every time he sees them. In this book, Michelle feels closer to her mother through food and cooking, much like how most mothers in the world express their love through feeding, Michelle connects to her mother’s memory through the flavors and recipes they shared. This book will engulf you in a blanket of grief so heavy that it’s hard to come out of. I think everyone has a love-hate relationship with their mother, especially during their teenage years when no one seems to understand anyone else. That’s the case with Michelle too. After her rebellious teenage years, she returns home to care for her sick mother. The roles have reversed, and now she has to take care of her. She does everything she can to feel closer to her mother—managing her medicines, cooking her favorite dishes, and more. This book is about Michelle dealing with the loss of her mother, trying to hold on to pieces of her, and searching for her- not just as a mother but as an individual. It’s heartbreaking to realize how often we forget to see our parents beyond their roles, forget that they are individuals before our parents, with lives beyond being parents, who have likes, dislikes, hobbies and who makes mistakes just like us. And how sometimes its too late before we realise that. I would highly recommend this book; just please keep the tissues handy. You're gonna need a lot of them. Thankyou for the copy @panmacmillanindia @anahita_tenz.sharma 💗 . . . . . . . #books #booklover #bookpost #bookrecommendations #sadbooks #grief #booksofinstagram #bibliophile #reading #favouritebooks #trending #instagram #instapost #explore #fyp

For me, female friendships have always been important, and touchwood, I have the best of female friends in my life who make my life thousand times better just by being in it. It's the place where i can truly be myself, talk about anything and everything, knowing no one is going to judge me. These friendships makes you realise what it means to be understood, to be heard and seen, and to be loved selflessly and fiercly. Friendship is laughing at them when they fall, posting ugly pictures on their birthdays, laughing at their embarrassing childhood stories. But it's also waiting for them while they tie their shoelaces, holding hands while crossing roads, knowing their go-to order and listening to their rants at 3 am. It is chaotic, messy, and, most of all, beautiful. . . . . . . . #instapost #bookpost #booklover #bookquotes #friendship #femalefriendship #booksofinstagram #instagram #trending #explore #fyp

If being in a bollywood movie were a book it would be Lallan sweets by Srishti Chaudhary. This book has it all. Being chased by the police? Check. Going on a quest? Check. Driving a stolen car? Check. Being kidnapped? Check. We follow the story of Tara Taneja, who lives in the small town of Siyaka. She runs a Mathematics tution centre and helps at her grandfather Lalaji's sweets shop, Lallan Sweets, alongside her brothers Rohit and Mohit. The laddoos at Lallan Sweets has a magic ingredient only known to lalaji. The catch? The one who finds the secret ingredient will get to run Lallan sweets. There are books that you fly through, and this was one of them. It reminded me so much of early bollywood, and all the mentions of mithai made me want to visit a sweet shop (i have a really sweet tooth). The story is beautifully written, and Tara as a character is so relatable- someone who is ambitious and doesn't let anyone pull her down just because she is a woman. I loved Nikhil and Tara's bond- it was so cute. Overall a beautiful book and highly recommended if you're looking for something fun and sweet. Thankyou for sending this across @death.of.the.author @manyyaa.s ❤ . . . . . #books #bookpost #bookrecommendations #bookreview #booklover #bollywood #reading #instapost #trending #instagram #explore #fyp
