The book is a short read power packed with a lot of contents that brings back the nostalgic memories of a middle-class family, the way they lived and the togetherness and taking decisions together, budgeting and budget cutting and sacrifice by the parents to buy you a new dress in the year helping parents with their work and sharing the happenings of the day to each other about school, work and about neighbours.

The narrator says how his family became so rich by starting a business and the business owner was his Uncle and how their life revolves and what are the changes that happened in their lives after riches and how dependent their family is on their Uncle and everyone trying to make him comfortable and becoming a guard to him as he is the only breadwinner and reason for the rich life they are living.

The narrator always visits a coffee house and loves to hear opinions and talk to Vincent. I loved the character Anita who was the narrator's wife.

It's a good read for people born in the 80s and 90s which can be a reminiscence of some childhood events.
