Book Review THE RUBY IYER DIARIES by Laxmi Hariharan

I read this book as it slowly led me to realize that it was just the beginning of things to come. Ruby Iyer Diaries reads like a diary but it lets us see into the lives of not just Ruby but the other people she comes across too. Her mother, the sad, cynical lady and the friends she makes and how she ends up where she is.
I found the writing so pertinent to the characters, most of it are Ruby’s thoughts but so right to her personality. The author has managed to spin a good intro story for the readers, whetting their appetite for more. The background on the various characters is well explored and I wanted to read more.
I was not aware that it is a prequel to the main book. A concept I have rarely found in Indian books. Full marks to Laxmi Hariharan for making it super interesting and fun. A dysfunctional family, a rebellious girl, a mother lost in her world and the big, bad world where they all coexist.
Tempted? You should be 🙂 Off to get the next book on the Life of Ruby Iyer.
(I got a copy of the book from Amazon as a free download. )
