Being an Indian Teenager

About the Book THREE GIRLS. ONE INSTA PAGE. ZERO CHILL. TEENAGE LIFE IS NOW IN FULL CHAOS MODE. Fourteen-year-old Bhanupriya Vaishnavi Puttuswamy, or Riya in school, is DONE living by everyone else's rules. Her parents speak a different language (not literally ... but basically), her life is chaos and her brain is permanently in ?! mode. So she and her besties, Sam and Alisa, do what any sensible teen would do: start an Instagram profile @Being-an-Indian-Teen and hope the universe sends help. Instead, it sends drama, followers, unexpected fame, and a whole lot of 'Wait ... What just happened?' This is the hilarious, heartfelt story of three girls trying to figure out life, parents, friendships, crush-adjacent situations, and who they actually want to be. Welcome to teenagerhood-messy, magical and absolutely Insta-worthy. About the Author Pooja Marwah is a storyteller, drama queen, content strategist and author-also known as the devil who doesn't wear Prada. She writes the way she lives: fuelled by ideas, coffee and the belief that words can move mountains. Her journey began in a parking lot, where she drafted chapters while waiting for her kids. This book was born during lockdown, when she and her children became reluctant roommates in a real-life sitcom. If you enjoy mischief and honest reflection, you'll feel right at home with her writing.
