'Chappati or Chips?'

Sari and Sins - this is a great read. It's a romantic comedy
which starts off as we watch Jordon being released from prison who's
dying to see his girlfriend Cloey. We're then introduced to Karreena
on her honeymoon with Samir her husband who's she's only met for
5 hours before getting married to him. Samir has a secret though
- he's been in a relationship with Cloey. You know it's all going
to get very messy before it gets sorted out - if it gets sorted
out and that there'll be tears. It's a good read though, and a real
page turner as the complex relationships within the story twist
into a storyline that'll keep you hanging on the edge of your seat.
How nasty will Cloey be to get what she wants and eliminate her
love rival. The whole issue of arranged marriages is dealt with
in quite a gentle way even though it's a structural part of the
plot.
Chapatti or Chips?
This is a great story which again has an arranged marriage featuring
heavily as Naina's parents have chosen the perfect groom for her.
Ashok is everything a good indian girl could want, but Dave isn't.
Or is he?
