Operation Mom by Reenita M. Hora Book Tour & Giveaway! {Ends 11/21/22}

Review By LAWonder10:

This is a whimsical, entertaining book about a young 17-year-old girl, Ila, obsessed with a member of a popular band. For personal reasons, her mom is very concerned about this obsession. When Ila receives Tickets to the band’s concert in a nearby town, her mother’s reaction is beyond Ila’s understanding.

Ila’s parents have a very amicable relationship, although they have been separated for years. Ila and her “partner in crime”, Deepali, decide Ila’s mother just needs a boyfriend. They devise a plan to conquer the situation. 

Ila & Deepali are opposites. Deepali is outgoing, clever, and beautiful. She is a devoted friend but dangles boys who are obsessed with her. Ila is academic, very intelligent, and attractive but insecure. She is secretly falling for one of Deepali’s boyfriends, to her dismay. Deepali has included him in their schemes. 

This is a story where dysfunctional relationships are redefined and individuals become more aware of each other and of themselves. t is a coming-of-age novel written in a unique style.

The characters are portrayed very well and they feel real. The scenes are described in a way that they are easily visualized. The suspense increases as the tale nears the end. The ending is somewhat unexpected.

The Title and Cover image are well-chosen and eye-catching.

Because of the foreign setting, at times the language caused some brief confusion. Other than that, it was a very fun story.

I offer a Four and a Half Stars rating.

This book was gifted me with no pressure to post a positive review. This is my honest review.
