I'll make my sisters squirm like well-salted earthworms. I won't sell. Even my jutti wont sell. And if I die na, then even my gosht won't sell!
The late Binodini Thakur had been very clear that she would never agree to sell her hissa in her Bauji's big old house on Hailey Road. And her daughter Bonu, is determined to honor her mothers wishes.
But what to do about her four pushy aunts who are insisting she sell? One is bald and stingy, one is jobless and manless, one needs the money to 'save the nation' and one is stepmother to Bonus childhood crush-brilliant young Bollywood director Samar Vir Singh, who promised BJ upon his deathbed that he would get the house sold, divvy the money equally and end all the bickering within the family.
The first word baby Bonu ever spoke was 'Balls' and indeed, she is ballsy, bullshit-intolerant, brave and beautiful.
But is she strong enough to weather emotional blackmail by the spadefull? Not to mention shady builders, wily politicians, spies, lies and the knee-buckling hotness of Samars intense eyes?
Sharply observed and pulse-quickeningly romantic, this is Anuja Chauhan writing at her sparkling best!

Like you are watching a Bollywood movie.
Here she has very carefully build characters and engraved them in a plot which doesn't have a thrilling or suspense at end but all expected from very first pages.
Playing justice to so many characters, those Pricey Thakur Girls, their extended family, ...

The House that B.J. Built thoughts
Even though it's a sequel to 'Those Pricey Thakur Girls' it stand out on it's own. Having nver read that I was never lost. You can absolutely enjoy this without the prequel, though I would recommend you pick that first it will make the experience much more enjoyable.
Now to the story I think I was hooked 6-7 or pages in and never lost interest in the story. It has all the ingredients that make a stor...

Value-for-money
In this book the love story could have been evolved a little bit more like D for Dylan and Debjani but chalo it's ok. The supporting cast was amazing and I truly believe that BJ's house was worth all the efforts taken by the pricey Thakur girls....

Worth Reading
The Thakur girls are back and this book is all about how the family wants to sell the house that BJ built. While the central plot deals with that, there are parallel storylines involving the central characters. On one hand we have Samar’s journey of making a film and on the...

The laugh riot involving the Pricey Thakur Girls continues
Witty like no other, with an unnerving grasp over the irritating personality traits of her characters (basis which part of the country/community they come from), Chauhan takes you on a fun ride with each of her books. The House That BJ Built is no different.

The Thakur Girls are back for more hungama !
Throughout the book, I loved the usage of stereotypes and similes that one can connect well with. Moreover, every character in the book had a distinct and distinguishable personality, akin to a family drama, yet the camaraderie shown between them was flawlessly executed. My favourite bit was the bonhomie between Samar ...
