Untruly Yours is the debut novel written by Smita Shetty. It depicts the story of Natasha, who is compelled to make a choice between friendship, love, marriage, and parenthood.
Summary of the Book
Natasha Iyer seems to have it all – the life of a rich NRI, wife of a well-known psychologist, and a mother to a naughty 11-year-old. But it is different behind the closed doors. Her husband, Rakesh, is so professionally consumed that she longs for romance and passion outside of her marriage. An unanticipated call from India takes Natasha on a journey of self-discovery, with her irresistibly handsome colleague, Steve. And an encounter with Veer, a man from her past, makes her rollercoaster ride of emotions all the more fierce. Her belief in the idea of a one-man-woman status of several years is shaken by the unexpected surge of attention she gets from Steve and Veer. As she makes her way through subtle flirtation, wooing and seduction, her life seems to spiral out of control. Will Natasha choose wisely between love, marriage, and parenthood?

All the emotional encounters with Veer and Steve seemed abrupt and so was the ending.

Short interesting novel with believable characters
The story had real life characters - one can identify and even feel for them. The mother-in-law described as 'Godzilla of Godzillas' and the intro of the 2 interesting colleagues at work was believable. Wh...

For a debut book it makes a great uplifting and hone...
