Inspirational, uplifting and a treasure to all women

I thoroughly enjoyed Ms. Thakor's revealing, thought-provoking comments which related not only to the challenges of a single woman and her journey towards greater self-confidence and self-worth but the challenges virtually any woman faces. She is extremely open which makes her story all the more appealing and which I related to in many ways. I found myself stopping while I was reading to really think about what she was discussing and what I could learn from hear experiences and how it applied to my specific situations. It was also a fun book to read, had a great flow, and was very modern particularly given the e-mail exchanges.
A Must-Read!

The book every single woman [at any age] should read!

I have a vast interest in women's literature of this sort. "Chick novels" are novels with similar characteristics: single women in their twenties or thirties with semi-successful careers and unsatisfactory love lives. These novels chronical the heroines' efforts in finding a suitable mate. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that the reason these heroines find men with such tenacity has much more to do with the fear of ending up alone than anything else. Compared to men's fiction -- which focuses more on their bachelor status or love for sports -- it doesn't escape my attention that women, whether in real life or in novels, need men to validate their lives.

Hence why I love this novel. Thakor delved into these issues. Furthermore, I was delighted to read that Ani isn't ashamed to acknowledge herself as professionally successful and is unwilling to lose her power over a man. There are various feminist issues in this book, all of which are meant to empower women and remind them that there is such a thing as having one's own idenity while in a relationship.

Ani shouldn't be ashamed of wanting someone to love. After all, who wants to be lonesome? Wanting someone to share your life with is nothing to be embarrassed about. Having someone doesn't have to validate your life, but it is still nice to have someone.

This is a great book. Every single (or attached, or married) woman should own it! I highly recommend it.

Truly thought provoking. Spoken from the heart.

This book breaks new ground and makes a really refreshing change from the recent raft of chick-lit. It has universal appeal across the sexes irrespective of whether you're a bachelor or not. Ani's story reveals an awful lot about the issues most women go through but what a lot of women find difficult to articulate openly. The advice Ani has for dealing with these issues is uniquely and cleverly presented.


Fun and informative

I found The Other Side of Thirty to be a fun, quick read, but also very thought provoking. I enjoyed following Ani's adventures in dating, but also found her thoughts and advice on serious subjects to be meaningful and helpful, even for a 30+ married gal! I really liked the fact that the author draws from a wide variety of sources, from poets to authors to celebrities, to form her unique perspective on topics ranging from self-confidence to personal finance. I think any woman, married or not, would enjoy her frank discussion of issues all women face throughout their lives.
