Publisher's summary

When Nina Mistry's life hits rock bottom, she decides to change her stars by falling in love...with herself - a hilarious, heartfelt story from outrageously funny novelist Radhika Sanghani.

Nina didn't plan to spend her 30th birthday in jail, yet here she is in her pajamas, locked in a holding cell. There's no Wi-Fi, no wine, no carbs - and no one to celebrate with.

Unfortunately, it gives Nina plenty of time to reflect on how screwed up her life is. She's just broken up with her fiancé and now has to move back into her childhood home to live with her depressed older brother and their uptight, traditional Indian mother. Her career as a freelance journalist isn’t going in the direction she wants, and all her friends are too busy being successful to hang out with her.

Just as Nina falls into despair, a book lands in her cell: How to Fix Your Shitty Life by Loving Yourself. It must be destiny. With literally nothing left to lose, Nina makes a life-changing decision to embark on a self-love journey. By her next birthday, she's going to find 30 things she loves about herself.

Critic reviews

"I adored everything about this hilarious, clever, uplifting novel! 30 Things I Love About Myself is a laugh-out-loud, feel-good novel that will leave you inspired and hopeful and downright happy! A truly gifted storyteller…Sanghani’s charmingly flawed characters are so lovable and authentic you’ll feel like you’re part of the Mistry family. In turns uproariously funny and tenderly touching, 30 Things I Love About Myself is the perfect antidote for today’s stressful world.” (Lori Nelson Spielman, New York Times best-selling author of The Star-Crossed Sisters of Tuscany)

“Radhika Sanghani’s 30 Things I Love About Myself is absolutely charming! Nina Mistry’s life has completely unraveled, but a randomly discovered self-help book shows her the way out…. Touching, clever, poignant, and hilarious. Readers will cheer for Nina as she discovers the most important lesson in life—to love yourself. A brilliant and timely read!” (Jenn McKinlay, New York Times best-selling author of Wait For It)

“…readers will follow Nina on a journey to self-acceptance and confidence.… 30 Things I Love About Myself is a timely read at the beginning of the new year when resolutions are abundant. It also can be laugh out-loud funny.” (The Associated Press)

Fun, educational, and well written

I enjoyed the plot and the dynamic characters. A story about broken families, broken people, and the painful journey to redemption and self acceptance — flaws and all

Perfect for New Years

This book was enjoyable, inspiring, funny, cringe worthy, and perfect for New Years- reimagine your life and love yourself, but not self help - fiction with a story.

A. Little predictable

At first I thought this book was fun and refreshing, but it got a bit trite and predictable. I was struggling to finish it, I felt it was a bit trite. The narrator did a great job though.

It’s not perfect. But it’s a light-hearted self love story.

The story moves quickly and the characters are like-able. There were moments where I gained insight or understanding but mostly it was just light-hearted and fun.

It’s cute, a little cheesy!

It’s a feel good, but sometimes a little too cheesy for my liking. But definitely inspired me to think about self love!

30?

She acts like a child and becomes more self centered as the book goes on. She wants her mother to not worry for her and treat her differently and she might if she wasn’t acting like a child.

Very stereotypical

This book was a light-hearted read. It's a good book to start your new year. I love the idea of loving yourself. I just felt like the story lacked depth. I also felt like I've heard/seen all this before. I just felt like there wasn't anything new or exciting to the story.
Also, I just want to say you can be a person who doesn't love themself and not sleep with a jerk. This is 2021. Can we prove a point that a woman can love herself without her making stereotypical girl doesn't love herself choices? I'm sorry, but the part where Nina gets into a van with a mattress in the back. Too much. Too stereotypical. If you're looking for a cute fluffy read, this may do it for you.
