Under the Romance category, "Year of the Chick" is an awesome story. Humorous and sarcastic, it takes us into the life of an Eastern girl (Calcutta, India) living in the West (Canada) who is doomed at dating and have the arranged-marriage custom thrown upon her by her parents, and secret dating and finding a man in twelve months being her only option. It is very well-written with some of those 'awkward family conversations'.

Genre- Romance.

Description-An awkward family homecoming at Christmas.

A humiliating public weigh-in, with two judging parents as the audience.

The announcement of a deadline for arranged marriage doom.

And that's just the first two chapters.

In "Year of the Chick," Romi Narindra must find love before her parents find her a husband. But this is North America, not Calcutta! Who lets their parents choose their husbands?! Easy to say, less easy to live through, as this book takes you deep inside "awkward Indian living in the West." To escape her fate, Romi wades through the waters of secret-dating, where self-consciousness is at an all-time high, and experience at an all-time low. It's the sort of thing that would turn almost anyone into a man-crazy freak with romance tunnel-vision, and that's exactly what happens to her. All the while, a lack of inspiration in her corporate job leads Romi to her love of writing, in what quickly becomes a man-quest play-by-play.

From whiskey-breath scum bags to uni-brow creeps and everything in between, Romi and her wingmen come up empty time after time. And that's when she meets a fellow writer. On the Internet. So will it be arranged marriage doom, or an Internet affair that's not as creepy as "To Catch a Predator"? Time will tell in the "year of the chick," a twelve-month quest to find love. Tick-tock. ---------------------------------------------

"Year of the Chick" is book one of a series, and book two is available now at Amazon! LENGTH: 74,000 words or 284 pages DISCLAIMER: this book contains profanities, blunt accounts of the dating scene, and many awkward family moments. Enjoy!

Status- Completed.

The sequel is not published on Wattpad but is available on Amazon. I haven't read that one but I'm sure its as good as this one, or even better.

So have a go at this one and if multi-cultural theme is your taste then that's just another plus point!

P.S. I would be grateful if you can take a look at another book of mine.
