About
It's Punny Oops, I mean Funny! is written by Namita Das.
Blurb
Anu, an aspiring writer, wanted to write one bestselling book. Just one. The problem? The absence of a plot! That’s kinda essential, isn’t it? But she was having a hard time cracking an idea for her debut book. However hard she hammered her brain it could not produce a juicy little storyline.
That day was just the same, her nose to the grindstone, as she tried to formulate an article. Mr. Husband, who’d been keenly observing her all along, joked at her scramble and wondered why she couldn’t pen down stories about her own life. Annnndddd... There it was… The Idea… She pushed the pencil on her real-life episodes. Tada...
Mr. Husband unknowingly contributed to her potboiler with his witty punchlines and sarcasm. She continued inscribing one story after another and Voila! There it was! The book was ready!
Review
The book title caught my attention and I was looking for a light and fun read anyway. It also helped that the book was short and available on Kindle Unlimited.
As the blurb mentions, this book is structured around everyday 👪 episodes. The use of everyday lingo and idioms was refreshing. The chapter titles and quotes were very well picked, they fit nicely with the episode's content. I know it is too much to expect, but I wish the book had some funny illustrations as well.
Overall, I found the book interesting and easy to read. And it did rekindle a bit of my own desire to finish a fictional novel someday.
My rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟☆
