In an industry saturated with billionaire tropes and "alpha" males, Twinkle Khanna is a quiet revolutionary. She writes —the kind that validates the life of the homemaker, the single mother, the divorcee.

A collection of short stories that tackle sensitive social issues, such as menstrual hygiene and finding love at an older age.

Technically a novel, this reads like a cohesive collection of moments. Set in a wellness retreat in Kerala, the story follows Anshu, who is trying to heal from a hysterectomy and a broken marriage. The here is non-linear. Through flashbacks, we see the toxic romance of her youth, and in the present, we witness the quiet, awkward possibility of a second chance with her former husband, Jay. Khanna uses the metaphor of "pyjamas" (forgiving, comfortable, stretched out) to describe long-term love. It is arguably the most mature romantic fiction written by a popular Indian author in the last decade.

Twinkle often revisits the "origin story" of her relationship with husband Akshay Kumar with her trademark cheekiness. She famously described the start of their romance as a "15-day fling" while filming in Calgary because she was "bored" and he looked like "six feet of chocolate ice cream". 4.
