A comedy of romance and crossed lines

Six friends are selling home appliances to the US from a call centre in India. Each one has an issue with love. Call agent Sam works right beside the girl who's just dumped him. He's dating someone he can't stand, just to get over her.

Esha is just short of becoming a model. Two inches, to be precise.

Vroom wants to change the world.

Radikha's trying to manage her mother-in-law, and hold down her job.

Tonight is Thanksgiving in America, and customers are queueing up to complain about white goods going wrong. On this night of a thousand phone calls, when life couldn't look more dismal, one unique caller gets on the line. And that call is going to change everything ...

A romantic comedy of six friends kicking against the system, against their boss, and against each other. Something's got to give ...

Critic reviews

A charming comedy about the serious emotional issues facing a group of friends ...in a case of Godly intervention, and the result is no less enjoyable for being implausible. IN A WORD: Divine
'ADMIT IT, at some stage you've been rude to a friendly Indian manning an international call-centre phone. In this funny yet poignant novel, call-centre colleagues all have love issues...a light-hearted book, but the dialogue is good and the characters well developed and believable'
'The blurb say this book was a bestseller in India. It's not hard to see why... the novel has some cutting things to say about globalisation and modernisation, wrapped in the light and fluffy pastry of a romantic comedy. At the end you might even feel sorry for the Indian cold-callers who have just interrupted your TV viewing ...'

I think the story is not bad however I think it takes a long time to get to where it needs to be. You have to exhaust at least 20+ chapters before it actually gets moving because there is a lot of background information to a lot of the different characters. Ultimately the story take some shape and it is good however, the readers accent on this app is terrible and fluctuates from an Indian, English to American accent and on occasion and accent you will not recognise. I just wish they had a reader who was from India who could do the genuine Indian accent. The problem is sometimes you end up focusing on the readers accent and miss what they are saying. Not bad. Like the end though !

Good, a bit long winded and bad accent from reader
