SETTLE IN WITH A CUP OF TEA AND READ THIS:

The Vibrant Years: A Novel
Sonali Dev

From USA Today bestselling author Sonali Dev comes a heartfelt novel about three generations of hilarious, unconventional, ambitious women navigating bad dates, reemerging exes, and secrets that refuse to remain hidden. Join the Desai women on a shared journey of self-discovery as they dare to live their most vibrant lives.

When sixty-five-year-old Bindu Desai inherits a million dollars, she’s astounded—and horrified. She has a secret hidden in her past that she’s desperate to keep secret and this inheritance threatens to expose it.

Bindu’s daughter-in-law forty-seven year old, Aly, still shares a home with Bindu even after her divorce from Bindu’s son. But maybe this change is just the push Aly needs to fight for the segment she’s been promised for years at the news station where she works.

Meanwhile, Aly’s daughter, Cullie, is faced with losing the business that made her a tech-world sensation. The only way to save it is to deliver a new idea to her investors—and of course they want the half-baked dating app. Problem is, Cullie has never been on a real date so he asks for help from – of course – her mother and grandmother.

“Bursting with humour, banter, and cringeworthy first dates, The Vibrant Years is a joyful and fun read, but it’s also very much a timely tale about a group of underestimated women demanding respect and embracing their most authentic selves.” — Mindy Kaling
