🎤 Featuring:
💡 Kirthana Ramisetti – "The Other Lata"
In her compulsively readable new novel, Kirthana introduces us to Lata Murthy, a woman who impulsively steps into someone else’s glamorous New York City life—only to find herself entangled in a game of blackmail, secrets, and unexpected romance. Think The Talented Mr. Ripley meets Crazy Rich Asians, with a desi twist.
💡 Saumya Dave – "The Guilt Pill"
With sharp satire and heart, Saumya’s latest novel explores the double standards of modern motherhood and hustle culture. When ambitious new mom Maya Patel takes a pill that erases guilt, she finds confidence, clarity — and consequences. A smart, timely read that’s as thought-provoking as it is entertaining.
💡 Veena Dinavah – "The True Happiness Company"
In this darkly funny and wrenchingly sincere memoir, Veena shares what happens when her college dreams spiral into an unconventional journey of self-help cults, mental health recovery, and radical self-discovery. A raw, relatable, and riveting debut.
✨ The conversation will be moderated by Rani Shah, Lilly’s Librarian and literary tastemaker.
