Review: The Zoya Factor

The Zoya Factor The Zoya Factor by Anuja Chauhan
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

Hooter: A chick lit amongst the backdrop of the cricket world cup.

A "Karol bagh" ad executive trying to eke a name, born on the very moment India won the 1983 World Cup and hence being lucky for teams she supports ( though she hates cricket) is pretty much the side dishes amongst the main course of a love story between a celebrity and a regular person and their on- off relationship. To be honest , I focused on the side dishes to keep the story going for me. The cricket World Cup in Australia and New Zealand, the superstitions and how cricket truly is a religion in India. If you need super light reading and not walk away with an iota of weight of sense and sensibility, this is the book for you. Almost all of the supporting characters are caricatures sometimes really close to real life cricketers to help you visualise.
