Summary

"When a British Indian woman's life hits rock bottom, she decides to change her stars by falling in love...with herself. Nina didn't plan to spend her thirtieth birthday in jail, yet here she is in her pajamas, locked in a holding cell. There's no Wi-Fi, no wine, no carbs, and no one to celebrate with. Unfortunately, it gives Nina plenty of time to reflect on her screwed-up life. She just broke up with her fiancé, and now has to move back into her childhood home to live with her older brother and their uptight, traditional Indian mother. She's an underpaid freelance journalist who wants to write about things like race and politics, but instead pens puff pieces. And her friends are too busy with their own lives to hang out with her. Just as Nina falls into despair, she discovers a book to read: How to Fix Your Shitty Life by Loving Yourself. It must be destiny. With nothing left to lose (clearly), Nina makes a life-changing decision to embark on a self-love journey. By her next birthday, she's going to find thirty things she loves about herself"--
