About this listen

Although this is a sequel, it may be heard as a stand-alone novel.

The sequel to Vegas to Varanasi catches up with Anna and Kiran a couple of years after the event that brought the once “ugly duckling” high school acquaintances together. But will their romance continue to flourish in the face of a whole new set of insecurities brought on by middle age?

First, there’s Kiran, who has an unexpected health scare. While his doctors assure no permanent damage has been done, there seems to have been some damage to his personality, as the normally respectful and reserved Kiran begins behaving erratically and overtly. Anna wants to hope that this is temporary, sparked by the visit of Kiran’s womanizing, free-spirited cousin, Seth. But is this just the midlife Kiran surfacing?

Anna has midlife issues of her own. Now forty-eight, she’s navigating the onset of perimenopause and all the delights that come with it, from facial hair to mood swings to body temperature issues. On top of that, her two-year-old granddaughter is starting to show signs of a behavior disorder, bringing with it a whole other level of stress and worry.

Will Anna and Kiran finally find their happily-ever-after? Or end up stuck in a midlife mess in this romantic comedy of accepting change, and “the change”.

Brilliant

I have not read the first book in the series, however as I found out, it can be read as a standalone.
Anna and Kiran are in their late forties, they knew each other in high school but went their separate ways, but meet up again in Vegas many years later and are about to get married and the ups and downs of their lives while getting to that point and boy don’t they seem to have everything thrown towards them at the same time. Insecurities, ill health and menopause all while arranging a wedding.
I felt that I could relate to Anna a lot being in my forties myself, although not having gone through menopause quite yet. I get the insecurities that she was facing. Once things start heading south and wrinkles start setting in, it’s an uphill battle.

I think this is very real to life of some people in their forties and fifties even and although I felt the struggles they were both facing, I did laugh a lot while listening to the book too.
The narrator Jazmine Ramay performed this brilliantly, it is like she was Anna and she was faultless.
I may grab the first book in the series so I can get to know more about Anna and Kiran and I will definitely be looking out for the third in the series!
