Lallan Sweets by Srishti Chaudhary
3.5
emotional funny lighthearted reflective medium-paced

One of my easy reads of 2025. Having born in the latter half of the 90s listening and reading about how transportation was from kinetic (I have been a fan of it when I used to ride with my mum's friend while on holidays), to campa colas , std booths, buses and trains . Long drives are nowhere simpler compared to the present .

Lallan Sweets is set in a fictional town of Siyaka and how the reins of the sweets get passed on to the next generation within the Taneja household. It ticks all emotional boxes and travels the width of North india to be precise. it's a delight to get to  know how the major cities of now was in the 90s. How Tara Taneja naviagtes the treasure hunt and self discovers when she is thrown in throes of life for the reins of lallan Sweets is not just a competition but a journey she wouldn't have ot any other way.

I found the whole premise of Lallan sweets so nice and cozy to say the least. How the adventure started weaving through most visited to less known cities of the past makes me really want to visit the places .



In all I found, this to be my perfect comeback after a reading slump. If you are on the lookout for a laidback read any weekend then give it a go guys.
