When reality bites bite you through a book, this is the one doing it.
If you’re an adult living your everyday adulting, this one describes the normal adulting so well.
Almost a satire, getting a bit edgy but comforting here and there, wanting to not like the characters yet not able to ignore them altogether this is one heck of a different read quite polar opposite to what I expected from the blurb. The plot is the same as is hinted there but my perception of the story is quite different.
This is one heck of a realistic plot with convincing Indian aunty characters who are quite interested in your family life, your age and your personal matters!
This is the story of Vani, a thirty year old, who has a perfect small family with a loving, hard working husband and an adorable four year old son. She’s quite content with her life until one day her husband suddenly decides to move and live a life of luxury he thinks they deserve.
Life goes pretty crazy with the sudden change of lifestyle, leaving behind her comfort zone and the people she’s used to.
I am amazed at how Vani’s character develops towards the second half and I am quite surprised with how the story ends with such a satisfying closure in the end.
Lovely satirical work. I am looking forward for more books by the author.

Anu's life is perfect- until her husband asks her to change it all and to move into a luxuriously posh area, whose lifestyle they can barely afford. In a crumbling marriage, pesky cat fights and some wholesome friendships- Meet Me In The Middle, like the name suggests, is making compromises for your loved ones and learning to bridge distances because of conflicting aspirations.
.
Filled with pop culture references from Bollywood & Hollywood alike, the novel is light-hearted and a fun, quirky read. Anu is intiative, bubbly and a chatterbox- her friends love her for her authenticity and her weirdness. Not without her flaws though, she and Sanju struggle to meet each other's demands, but in the end make up after a reasonable discussion and compromise. I sort of was looking forward to Sameer's (Anu's best friend) and also some more details about Pooja fitting in the high style society with her new friends. Anyone looking for a feel-good and easy-going read with mild elements of humor and innocence, do give this one a try! As someone who is very much invested in Bangalore and Kannada culture because of Sudha Murthy's books, I really like reading more about Banglorean society more.
One of the most interesting aspects is the dynamic between Anu, Sameer and Sanju. Sanju, while clearly jealous of the other two's friendship, still respects Sameer's opinions a lot- something I believe arises from childhood admiration and gratitude for Sameer. I think, if there is a sequel, I will especial like to know more about their past friendship- and just how Anu & Sanju changed after becoming parents, which is an important aspect in any couple's life. Also, Shwetha and Sameer's unsaid goodbyes is something that stings me too, that I will love to see addressed soon!
