Day 7 of the Blog Tour, and this one is a wonderful review from Lucy!
I am ridiculously PROUD to be part of the team for the LAUNCH OF THIS WONDERFUL AUTHOR’s DEBUT ROMANCE NOVEL – Marriage Unarranged.
Oh my goodness what an honour!
I was one of the beta readers for this FAB book and this is such a gorgeous debut.
So proud of you, Ritu!
Congrats from all of us at BlondeWriteMore 😍
Here’s the blurb:
Chickpea Curry’ Lit — Chick Lit with an Indian twist!
It all started ended with that box…
Aashi’s life was all set.
Or so she thought.
Like in the Bollywood films, Ravi would woo her, charm her family and they’d get married and live happily ever after.
But then Aashi found the empty condom box…
Putting her ex-fiancé and her innocence behind her, Aashi embarks upon an enlightening journey, to another country, where vibrant memories are created, and unforgettable friendships forged.
No, not sit in a drinking establishment and sup a gin or three all day (though that may be quite fun!) but Publication Day.
After all this time, my book baby has finally been delivered!
Yes, Marriage Unarranged is finally out there, in the world, delivered to at least fifty Kindles this morning, and the paperback is also available too.
How am I feeling?
A bag of nerves. The feedback will hopefully start to filter in soon, and I know I love my book baby, but I really want you to love it too!
Described as Chickpea Curry Lit – Chick Lit with an Indian twist! And not just for chicks, you chap(patti)s too!

Staying in with Ritu Bhathal
Hi Ritu. Welcome to Linda’s Book Bag. Thank you for agreeing to stay in with me.
Thank you so much for having me, Linda. I am nervously excited!
I think we might just have guessed, but tell me, which of your books have you brought along to share this evening and why have you chosen it?
Today, I have brought my new book, Marriage Unarranged. This truly is my book baby, having lovingly created it over the last twenty years. It has reached adult status, age-wise, and now it is time for it to grow wings and fly the nest…

I was lucky enough to receive an advanced copy of…
pretty much since we started blogging. In that time she had blogged her heart out. Her prolific output, her range of subjects, her dedication to improving the craft all stand out. But she is almost always the first one to read and comment on any new post I launch into the ether and her approach has been universally supportive, as you would expect of someone who values her Bloggily.
A while back she took what she considered to be a brave step with a book of poetry but she need not have fretted. It was an excellent read, a proper dipper-inner. At the time she talked about the book, that project that had been on the slowest of slow burns. Would it ever come to be?
