At the start of my 50th year on this watery planet, I grew weary of women my age talking about ageing gracefully. However, there is such a thing as too much self-degrading humour and after a point the words become repetitive and predictive. But, the book proves to be a light-hearted much-needed break for readers whose life is filled with heavy routine, nagging relatives, demanding jobs or marriage to laugh at nonsensical random stuff.Pointing out at the girl on the right, who has her hand in a plaster, Twinkle said, "The girl with the broken arm is me- every year I would invariably be in a cast-many fractured bones-took that unpleasant factor and flipped it into a moniker that now makes me smile-Mrs Funnybones :). She shares her observations and her own experiences that I found funny may be for the first two pages but then everything fell flat. The book is sprinkled with her sardonic takes on celebrity life, parenting woes, and domestic adventures, all served up with a generous helping of self-deprecating humor that's as refreshing as a glass of cold lemonade on a hot summer day.

The additional commentary at the beginning of each chapter in the form of scribbles on a notepad are funny reading.

When you are married for a certain period of time, you’ve heard the themes of each chapter be it a crib about forced fast in the name of your longevity or captured in a FB post in your least flattering dress or how the man of the house is sometimes as useful as a coin collection.I came away with a picture of a privileged life, bustling with activity, the perks of being a star wife of a very successful actor, loads of travel and the added but natural responsibilities of raising children – which all together built this comfortable alluring world that does look ideal when there is humor and a daft joke thrown in now n then. This book is not about a celeb (which she is) it's more about being a wife, a mother, a daughter, sister and a sister-in-law.
