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 thirtieth 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 thirty things she loves about herself.

"I rate this book a 10/10. It definitely got me out of a reading slump. I fell in love with reading again. "

"This book was an enjoyable read for me. It starts with Nina spending her birthday in jail and one of the guards at the police station throws her a book to read to help her pass the time. This book is about how to fix your crappy life by learning to love yourself and this book became what set Nina on a path to fix her life and learn to love herself.<br/>This story follows Nina as she sets out on a journey to learn to love everything about herself and it follows along with her and how she navigates her relationship with her mother and her brother, who has depression, and her friends. She learns how to list at least 30 things that she loves about herself and discovers yoga and meditation to help her where she meets another kindred soul.<br/>I love this self-love book and reading this led me to be more interested in yoga and meditation as well. This is a great book for reflecting on yourself and your own life to see how you're doing with loving yourself. <br/>There were a couple of things that I didn't like as much where there were a few steamy romance moments. Also, the content/trigger warnings I would put are depression, attempted suicide, grief, death of a parent, bullying/cyber-bullying, and racism."
