Misfit Madhu

I wish I’d known that author Divya Anand would be at the Neev Literature Festival; I would have taken my copy of Misfit Madhu along for her to sign!

Misfit Madhu is a lovely book – an easy, engaging read that kept me hooked.
Madhu is usually invisible. If anyone notices her, it’s only to give her a moniker like Misfit Madhu, or No Name, or something else equally annoying. But when she makes an app called School Santhe, she suddenly finds herself in the limelight because her app goes viral. She’s earned herself a new name – Maker Madhu!

The problem, however, is that when the app begins to be misused, she needs to decide what to do. Should she let go of her hard-earned popularity and reset her app? Or just try to fix things that might not really be fixable?

Noor is the perfect best friend, Madhu’s moral compass. She pushes Madhu to do what is right, and I love the way she does that without being preachy. I also thoroughly enjoyed the writing style – lighthearted, engaging and pacy. A quick read, one that I might just read with my book club soon!
