Overview
"Bend It Like Beckham meets Bridget Jones' Diary with Sex & The City sprinkled across the top!"Meet Vina, a no-nonsense Indian-American New York City Investment Banker who insists that not shaving her legs will prevent her from going too far on a date, that a healthy dose of cynicism is the only thing that will prevent the office interns from getting mugged, and that 'acting as if you planned to weigh exactly as much as you do' wins out over sunken cheekbones every time.
With only thirty months left until thirty, Vina has decided that its time to get serious about finding her mate. And what Vina wants, Vina usually gets, because she's not about excuses, she's about results. She's got a predatory wit (categorizing most men as either cowboys or firemen -- because even if they're not, they should be), a healthy Yiddish vocabulary (gleaned from a childhood in Great Neck, Long Island), and an ulcer named Fred (the inevitable result of her lucrative but uninspiring job in high-finance). At least the job keeps her in Bulgari and Blue Sapphire martinis, she tells herself.
...But she is about to find out that real life rarely follows the script. Her friends know her a little too well to let her deny her feelings for her hunky ex-boyfriend, her parents' good intentions are complicated by the fact that they are completely out of touch with her life, and her neighbor's presumptuous cat has recently developed a habit of sneaking into her closet and trying on all of her favorite shoes.
Amid a parental setup with a lawyer who turns out to be anything but 'suitable,' a blackout in the middle of a hot summer afternoon in New York City, and an office scandal that could permanently end her career, Vina begins to question everything that she's worked so hard for. Who has she been trying to please all of these years? Is the life she was most likely to lead the one that she actually wanted? And can she put aside everyone else's expectations for long enough to become the girl most likely to find a happiness all her own?
