Jobless Clueless Reckless is a story that follows the life of Kavya. She is a young girl worried about her board exams and has trouble with the life she lives.
Summary of the Book
This is a humorous story that most youngsters might relate to. Kavya is a young girl from Bangalore who has many things that she wishes to change in her life. The first would be her brother’s name, Dhrittiman. While she is still trying to come to terms with it, she also thinks that her brother suffers more than her from the wrath of his name. He has earned the sobriquet, Dirtyman, because of his name, and keeps himself sane by watching Resident Evil. Her home address is quite the joke too: 708, Kansas, Grand Canyon, Bangalore, India. She has been bearing the humiliation of it for a while now. Her friends think of her as a vampire when she is at her best and an axe murderer when she is at her worst. She is even surviving having to look at the handsome Kiran and his brilliant blue eyes every single day. She is doing her best to survive all of this, but what about the rest? She has a mother who is successful in keeping her away from society in general, a father who would be happy to have nothing to do with them, and has to make kolam patterns on random walls when she should be studying for her board exams. All she wants is to find a way to start her life all over again after making several corrections to it.

Escape the Stereotypes!
> Firstly, Kavya is not one of those overconfident protagonists who can't laugh at her own craziness. I like the fact that she isn't portrayed as the 'victim' or the 'unfortunate soul' in the big bad world.
>There is also no attempt to consciously over-analyze or avoid taboo topics. Subjects such as teenage pregnancy and disappearance are often quickly ignored or judged heavily. JCR doesn't do this!
>The power-play and politics in teenage friendships h...

Loved it.. Couldn't put it down.
Revathi has spun a story that entangled me.The end left me wanting for more. How can a book end so simply like that and still leave you with a smile? Once the book starts with Manisha disappearing, it was through Kavya’s eyes I began to see the world. An intelligent and hardy teenager who mixes humour like glue to every hue of her life. If you look at it closely it could have been a very sad story of a teenage girl... home schooled , supposed to take ca...

Jobless Clueless Reckless
Parental problems.
Missing friends (!)
Annoying little brothers.
Blue-eyed crushes.
Confused sixteen year olds.
Teenagehood.
The whole deal in one novel. A novel that to my relief (as a sixteen year old girl) contains no reference to or mention of vampires or werewolves and instead focuses on the more realistic aspects of being a teenager.
Yep, its a well-written, intelligent novel for teens. Finally =)
