From Little Stack

I adore Sonali Dev’s warm, witty stories, and this novel is perfect for readers drawn to mother-daughter relationships — not to mention grandmothers!

Despite her lack of romantic experience, Cullie is desperate to make her new dating app a success. Her mother, Aly, still lives with her ex-husband’s mother — Cullie’s grandmother, Bindu — but needs a fresh start at work. And Bindu herself is at a loss after inheriting money tied to a secret from her past. All three women help each other out in life and love in this heartwarming intergenerational book that will keep you smiling.

Publisher Description

Bursting with humor, banter, and cringeworthy first dates, Sonali Dev's The Vibrant Years is a joyful and fun read, but it's also very much a timely tale about a group of underestimated women demanding respect and embracing their most authentic selves.

Living on their own terms means being there for one another.

When sixty-five-year-old Bindu Desai inherits a million dollars, she's astounded—and horrified. The windfall threatens to expose a shameful mistake from her youth. Desperate to keep the secret, Bindu quickly spends it on something unexpected: a condo in a posh retirement community in Florida.

The impulsive decision blindsides Bindu's daughter-in-law, Aly. At forty-seven, Aly still shares a home with Bindu even after her divorce from Bindu's son. But maybe this change is just the push Aly needs to fight for the segment she's been promised for years at the news station where she works.

As Bindu and Aly navigate their new dynamic, Aly's daughter, Cullie, is faced with losing the business that made her a tech-world star. The only way to save it is to deliver a new idea to her investors—and of course they want the half-baked dating app she pitched them in a panic. Problem is, Cullie has never been on a real date. Naturally, enlisting her single mother and grandmother to help her with the research is the answer.

Join the Desai women on a shared journey of self-discovery as they dare to live their most vibrant lives.
