Loved this book!!!

This book was so much fun!! I was at Borders browsing for a book to read on a flight and came across this title. By the time the flight was over I was more than halfway through the story and totally hooked. Totally laughed my @#$ off. True, I'm from the OC but anyone can relate to the main character. I'll definitely be checking out other stuff from this author. Good work!!

What a hoot!

I could not put this put book down. It won't win any literary awards, but this author has class, style, and a wicked sense of humor. I spent two days lauging out loud as Maya found her way. Sonia Singh reminded me with her clever wit that life is too short to take it so seriously and sometimes you just have to strap on your sari and live a little...it's up to the goddesses of the word to make it all work. Excellent work young lady, you've got what it takes and I can't wait for Bollywood...

Buffy the Vampire Slayer meets The Guru

Maya Mehra is an average thirty-year-old Southern Californian who sleeps til noon and would rather spend the day shopping for Manolo Blahniks while sipping Starbucks coffee than look for a boring office job. All that changes when she finds out that she is the reincarnation of the Hindu goddess Kali and has a slew of supernatural powers. Once she figures out how to control them she's expected to use her powers to fight evil. That is, when she's not being set up by her matchmaking aunties or avoiding Kali-haters that want to kill her. Picture Buffy the Vampire Slayer or the Charmed Halliwell sisters in a red sari, blond highlights, and driving a canary yellow H2 Hummer. If you're a fan of Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum or Sarah Strohmeyer's Bubbles Yablonsky, you'll love this fast-paced, side-splitting, fabulous summer read.

Laughed myself silly!!!

I loved this book!!! Maya is your typical Newport Beach girl who turns thirty and discovers she's the incarnation of a Hindu Goddess. Since Maya's favorite activities are shopping and sleeping, fighting evil may just get in the way. I practically finished this book in one night. It's fast-paced and so much fun. Maya is the most unlikely person to ever be chosen as a goddess, but that's what makes the book great. We get to learn about being a goddess along with Maya! I also drooled over the romantic lead--Tahir! Now that I'm done with the book I'm going to go out and buy it for all my friends. Make no mistake--this book is very entertaining but also well-written and touching. Like Maya we're all looking for our purpose in life. Can't recommend this enough.

A Great Read!!!

Although this book seemed like it was gonna be a chic story, I thought it was really good. Its about a woman who turns thirty and finds out that she's the incarnation of a hindu goddess. The main character thinks this is a joke because she's the most non-religious person alive. I think anyone who's wondered what their purpose in life is will really love this book. I actually found it to be really funny, which is hard to find in a book. Being that my family is also Indo-American, I could relate to the immigrant experience in the book but I think anyone would love it.
