And if that was not enough she lands up getting herself abducted by gangsters. You find yourself relating to her woes and everyday incidents as she unfolds one adventure after another sinking herself in trouble more deep than she can manage to get out of. Yet it allows us to catch a glimpse of her true self and realize that it is a normal human tendency to commit such errors.

Working at her dream job, Malini realizes that her co-workers are not her friends. It’s a dog-eat-dog world and everyone wants to climb the ladder of success—even if they step on their co-workers like rungs on this ladder.

    But is it too late for Malini to make amendments? Would Malini achieve her dreams? Would life be divine enough to forgive her?
    Find out in this rib cracking funny escapade. Malini’s witty charm will keep the pages turning.

    To Err Is Human, interesting title with a beautifully designed cover, easy to grab ones attention, which made me curious to read the book as well.

     

    The plot and the story is good which has not been given justice by its poor narration, which also requires some more editing. However the best part of the book is the character Malini, full of humour and witty and not to forget "ERR".

     

    We have heard of humans making mistakes, but have you ever heard of humans attracting problems because of these mistakes? It should be criminal to be prone to committing errors and inviting such problems. Plot of the book revolves around the character Malini and her capabilities to attract problems like magnets and gets caught in a whirlwind of adventures to the point where she lands herself getting abducted by gangsters, yes you heard me right, gangsters.
