Language of book is simple but accentuating. Quotes from the books make the story more interesting and reliable.
Though Language and Story is attractive but there are some pages where some words are missing and this makes difficult to understand those few pages otherwise its a smooth read.
Story is quiet fast and incident after incident are following so quick that it was difficult to digest.
Otherwise its a full package with love,dedication and twist and turns.
This all makes this book a must read.

Book Review: Anything to Look Hot by Jas Kohli

Title: Anything to Look Hot
Author: Dr. Jas Kohli
Publisher: Srishti Publishers and Distributors
Price : ₹195

Plot: When the superstar diva of the past decade doesn’t want to play the hero’s mother on screen, she insists that she be reshaped into the most beautiful woman in the world…by any means.

This is just one of the many odd situations which plastic surgeon Dr. Dhruv faces in Mumbai. He has dealt with tyrannical bosses and finicky patients while undergoing his training, during which he has also won over a stunning doctor as his life partner. But satisfying the movie stars is a different ball game, because every girl wishes to have bee-stung lips, and every guy wants to flaunt a six-pack abdomen without working too hard. And all this while, he has to resist losing his balance over his ravishing female clients. Dr. Dhruv’s journey surpasses even a masala movie for humour, drama and action. In debunking many a myth about cosmetic surgeries, the book will enthrall those who can do Anything to Look Hot.

My take on this Story: As this story is about Plastic Surgery it gives readers a new experience and it is a treat to readers who like Medical Fiction. Book Cover of the story is attractive and make it an instant pickup.
Language of the story is simple but attractive. It avoids the confusing sentences and ties the attention of the readers.
Story also tells us about the wild desires of the actors and actresses about their looks. Author has also highlighted the social issues faced by North-East Indians.
Dr. Palmer's humorous talks, Dr.Dhruv's wooing Nandini, the way Murari helps Dhruv, these are some of the fav. scenes of the story.
              Story contains a bit of romance and humour but is a straightforward story and lacks twists and turns. Some processes are in detail which most of the readers cannot understand.
Dhruv's Father takes up acting was very filmy and unreliable.
