The author of the "enchanting" and "delightful" (USA Today) debut novel For Matrimonial Purposes returns with a romantic comedy about a new bride leading a secret double life. After an arranged marriage in her native India, Priya moves with her husband to California, where they share a house with his parents.  Playing the traditional daughter-in-law role, she's expected to clean, cook, and--because she doesn't immediately get pregnant--find a job as well! But the job, at a glossy Hollywood gossip magazine, isn't at all what Priya's in-laws had in mind for a traditional Indian wife.  She soon finds herself with a secret life that she must hide from her disapproving new family. All the while, she is growing into a marriage with a man whose loyalty is decidedly torn between his parents and his bride.  This is hardly surprising, given that he met his wife only a week before their wedding.  The question is, can this fragile new love survive the pull between tradition and ambition?… (meer)

This is fun fluff. Everything is just a bit too easy to be believable, and that goes double for the ending. But it was still fun. ( )

Frothy and light, the book reads as though Daswani hoped a producer would pick it up and turn it into a straight-to-tv movie. And it would make a good one. Its a modern day fairytale with a princess who has a secret, a handsome prince, a couple of ogre-ish in-laws and three, if not ugly, then at least awkward, sisters. If you enjoy chicklit, then this is prime reading.

'Everything Happens for a Reason' and 'The Village Bride of Beverley Hills' are the same book published under two different titles. ( )

I love this book! Daswani creates such a sympathetic character in Priya, a woman who gives up her old life for an arranged marriage and a traditional household (one in which her husband's parents also live) and doesn't pull the punches at the end. It's chick lit, but pretty high up that ladder. ( )

A very nice book about an Indian girl who is given in marriage to a man who already lives in America. I liked the way Priya lives, I think a lot of people (including me!) can learn a lot from her honesty and modesty.
I liked the Hollywood ending, of course, but I find the sudden change in Sanjay not very credible. ( )

Amusing Indian immigrant chicklit story. Good light vacation read. Daswani keeps it interesting. ( )
