 A few weeks is all it takes to turn a girl's life upside down. Especially if she is fifteen going on sixteen.
Vinita Sharma is a feisty teenager with a talent for writing, an outsized crush on Shahrukh Khan and the low ambition of marrying a rich guy (if Shahrukh is taken, that is). Her brother Vinay is grappling with overactive hormones, IIT entrance exams and cricket practice, while Vinita is busy with her motley crew of friends—the angelic Naina, Jaggu the house clown, Ashley the inscrutable, and the bold and seductive Gargi.
In a matter of weeks, Vinita's world changes radically. Her homebound mother decides to set up a business, Naina and Vinay start to make goggle-eyes at each other, Jaggu examines his own shameful attitudes, and Gargi reveals a dreadful secret that could destroy her whole life. Into this simmering emotional cauldron falls an American dude—the dashing Marcus—the boyfriend Vinita always dreamed of having. As she swings wildly between her traditional thinking and what she really wants, Vinita takes crucial decisions that will surprise them all—most of all, herself.
Can Vinita stay upright in a topsy-turvy world fraught with far-reaching changes? Find out in this breezy, candid diary.
