For those of you who're wondering what Chik Lit is, it's a genre of books where the protagonist is a girl/group of girls. The book basically deals with a woman's perspective of life, career, love, sexual affairs, relationships, etc. The narrative is almost always first person.
What I find best about these books are the humorous and witty manner in which the whole plot is depicted. Also, there is a lot of masala in the form of innuendoes, affairs, metropolitan lifestyles, etc.
Personally, I think such books - although they're meant for light reading purposes only - gives one a lot of insight about the mind of the modern urban woman. And trust me when I say - It's very very educative!
So far I've read only one book - "Almost Single" by Advaith Kala - of this genre. But, today, I went and purchased "KKrishnaa's Konfessions" by Smita Jain, taking the toll to two. According to the reviews in the Bangalore Times, it's a 'Must Read' title. A few days from today, and I'll be in a better position to pass my own verdict on the 'Must Read' aspect of this book.
Till then - I'm off ...
