Not since Indira Gandhi has India had a political leader with the charismatic weight and mass electoral mandate as Modi”. What was once an endearing quality of Goldy's personality (which is what really drives these books) has now become simply annoying and making me, as a reader, have less and less sympathy for her. It also became clear that the Indian military leadership did not carry the weight to assert at the high table at that time. I believe that this book was a great book it's about a group of seniors that become friends and they start to learn secrets about each other that may have changed their friendship, they change each others lives in ways that u could never imagine.

She is also the author of Head Games, Crunch Time, and two previous books in the In the Cards series, Love and Fame. CRUNCH TIME is about a group of teenagers who randomly meet and eventually decide to do a study group before taking their SATs. CRUNCH TIME is unique because of its rapid change of narration between the four characters, but otherwise I found the plot often too bogged down. Jane and Max end up seeming too good to me for the likes of Daisy and Leo and really do seem to get the short end of the stick throughout the whole book. i have a vague memory of loving this in middle school and i was pleased to find out that it still holds up.There are many important contributions and insights in Crunch Time, including the ‘ideal job-seeker’ norm; whether one is ‘morally’ unemployed; men’s and women’s differential use of space in the home; the decision in some families to take a ‘pause’ on the economy of gratitude; and the ways women’s time is used to cut costs, while money is spent to preserve men’s time. I really liked the recipes with lots of creative suggestions for using unusual vegetables and avoiding food waste.

A truly great book because of the plot, the characters, the feelings, and most importantly the mystery. In creating greater room for non-nuclear escalation, New Delhi was careful to label these as ‘non-military pre-emptive actions’. I did like that we got the novel from everyone's perspective, I thought that was a really cool thing to do.The first, in my view, was a testing ground for the new doctrine of Offensive Defence which had been adopted by Modi and his National Security Adviser, Ajit Doval. A tale of two unemployments, Crunch Time details how unemployed men and women adopt the ideal job seeker norm in divergently gendered ways in the face of economic precarity. There was the potential to really explore the concept of pressure or ethics behind the issue but this didn’t come close. I was mildly disappointed that her former assistant, Julian, was hardly more than mentioned in the story, and that her best friend, Marla, was such a minor character, but the new characters of Yolanda and her feisty Great Aunt Ferdinanda more than make up for their absence. She does not ever repsect what her husband has to say it does not seem that she is in concert with him, or the police, in trying to solve crimes.
