Some books don’t just entertain you they hold your hand, make you smile, and remind you that life is still beautiful in its chaos. " Mrs Funnybones Returns" by Twinkle Khanna felt exactly like that for me. It was warm, funny, and strangely comforting… the kind of book you curl up with when you want your mind to feel a little lighter.
This was my first time reading Twinkle Khanna, and honestly, I didn’t expect to connect so deeply. But her writing feels so real , like she’s sitting across from you with a cup of chai, laughing about her life, her family, her hormones, her worries… all with that effortless, lowkey humour only she can pull off. You end up laughing, nodding, and thinking, “Haaan, this is literally me.”
She talks about motherhood, marriage, in-laws, work pressure, ageing, and all the madness that women quietly juggle every single day but she does it with so much warmth that you never feel overwhelmed. Instead, you feel understood. Seen. Comforted.
Reading this book felt like sitting in gentle winter sunlight… warm, peaceful, and grounding. What I loved most was how honest she is about her imperfections, her moods, her thoughts and she wraps all of it in laughter without losing the emotion underneath.
If you want a book that makes you feel lighter, calmer, and a little more at peace with your own messy life, " Mrs Funnybones Returns" is that perfect, cozy companion. Twinkle Khanna doesn’t just return, she makes you wish she never left.

This collection is similar to its predecessor, but this time the writing style kept putting me off, and the metaphors often felt forced or even a bit childish. I suppose I’ve grown out of it now.
That said, it’s still a great, easy, and quick read. I enjoyed the reflections and some of the anecdotes, and I remain an admirer of her wit and thought process.

This was such a light & fun read. Twinkle’s humour and take on everything shows her great observation skills and often gives you life lessons along with more laughing lines by the end of each chapter. Always a delight to read her books, short stories & columns.

This is what the author does best. Not fiction.
A motley collection of slice of life episodes. Some relatable, most of them mostly made up. Still, an enjoyable read.

Compiling days from her busy life, Twinkle Khanna is back, giving us all a fly-on-the-wall sneak peek into her busy life. Sometimes we are on the holiday with her family, sometimes on a lunch with her sister and sometimes listening in on an argument with her own mother, when she discusses the secrets of being a good mother.
The book is peppered with funny conversations. Have a look:
"I am wearing my seatbelt only because you are driving.'
I reply, 'That's terribly sexist, you know!'
And pat comes his answer, 'It would be sexist if I said all women are bad drivers. Here, I am
referring to just you.'"
It's a good time pass to know and learn that a family of superstars also has similar arguments and it is in these little snippets and details that the appeal of the book lies. A passive vouyerism of Indian populace, the burning desire to know what's happening in the other family. And when that family happens to be of a number crunching superstar, the appeal becomes many folds.
Twinkle doesn't mention her son, daughter or husband by names. Her daughter is Miss Smarty Pants and son is Prodigal son. My most favourite part is about the dog. I would have preferred of the author has also spoken about the current verdict on catching indie dogs. But perhaps the book has already gone to print then. She writes:
"Cleo doesn't believe in playing jester. To raise
her paw for a delicate handshake is beneath her.
Instead, she has trained me to play fetch. I throw
a ball, she grabs it and then chews on it, waiting
for me to walk over and pick it up."
Pick it up this week.

Mrs Funnybones Returns feels like slipping back into a familiar conversation you didn’t realise you missed. Spread across 26 chapters and over 200 pages, Twinkle Khanna once again writes about the everyday chaos of being a woman—kids, in-laws, work, ageing, menopause, and the noise of the world around us. And if you’ve read Mrs Funnybones before, you already know how much fun her chapter titles are. They make you smile even before you start, as if the book is already in on the joke.
What I loved most is how real the writing feels. It’s like sitting with someone who isn’t trying to impress you, just telling you things as they are—sometimes funny, sometimes tired, sometimes quietly honest. Lines like, “With time, you do get more comfortable in your skin, but that’s because the poor thing is also not as tight as it used to be,” made me laugh out loud because it’s the kind of thought we all have but rarely say. Each chapter touches on something we deal with daily—the addiction to phones and the internet, the chaos today’s kids bring into their mothers’ lives, friendships changing, and how different the world feels from what it once was.
One chapter that stayed with me was “Adult friendships are so hard.” It felt personal, almost comforting, because most of us struggle with this in silence. This book doesn’t try to fix your life or teach you lessons—it simply sits with you. By the time you finish, you feel lighter, calmer, and a little more accepting of your own messy, imperfect life. Mrs Funnybones Returns isn’t just funny; it feels like being understood, and sometimes, that’s exactly what we need.

December 16, 2025Some books make you think.Some make you laugh.And then there are books like Mrs Funnybones Returns that do both quietly, cleverly, and without trying too hard.
What I loved most about this book is how Twinkle Khanna talks about serious, everyday realities marriage, parenting, ageing, social expectations
but wraps them in humour so light that you don’t even realise when the message sinks in. You’re laughing first… and nodding in agreement later.
Her writing feels like sitting across the table with a friend who has the sharpest observations and the best comic timing. Nothing feels forced. Nothing feels preachy. It’s all relatable chaos just written well.
One of the most amusing things (and something that genuinely stayed with me) is the way she refers to her husband as “the man of the house.”Not dramatically. Not mockingly. Just casually and somehow, that makes it even funnier.
That simple phrase says so much about roles, power, and relationships without turning into a lecture.
What makes this book special is its effortless honesty. Twinkle doesn’t pretend to have life figured out.
She laughs at herself, questions society, and invites the reader to laugh along not at anyone, but at the absurdity we all live with.
By the time I finished this book, I realised something unexpected it didn’t just entertain me it made me want to read more of her work. And that, to me, is the biggest compliment a book can earn.
If you enjoy humour that’s intelligent, observational, and deeply human Mrs Funnybones Returns is a perfect pick.

If I had to describe this book in a single sentence, I’d say it’s a book full of flavours. Twinkle Khanna blends humour with everyday observations in a way that feels effortless yet deeply relatable. Each chapter is a small slice of her life, a situation, a moment, or a thought told with wit and layered with subtle life lessons. What stands out the most is the candidness of the book. It feels like a friend sitting across from you, casually narrating her day or reflecting on life. From juggling kids, in-laws, menopause, work, friendships, and even the state of the nation, Twinkle adds her trademark wit in a way that feels relatable and refreshingly real. She captures modern midlife with honesty, warmth, and sharp humour.
One of the strongest aspects of the book is Twinkle Khanna’s writing style. Her writing is captivating, conversational, and incredibly engaging. She has a way of drawing you in without trying too hard, using simple language, sharp observations, and humour that feels natural rather than forced. Her storytelling flows effortlessly, making even the most ordinary moments feel interesting and meaningful. You never feel overwhelmed; instead, you feel connected, as if you’re reading a personal diary entries rather than a book.

If you follow Bollywood, you have already heard the name Twinkle Khanna, but did you know about the author Twinkle Khanna? If you don’t, please rectify that, because author Twinkle Khanna is one of the amazing authors that I have read in 2025.
Now about this particular book, Mrs. Funnybones Returns is the sequel to Mrs. Funnybones. You don’t have to read the first book for this one, but I would suggest that you definitely should read that book too. These books are basically a collection of short essays full of the author’s witty takes on modern life.
The main attraction of the book is the author’s sharp observation of life and the wide range of topics that she discusses here. She talks about topics like marriage, parenting, social media, celebrity culture, and the strange expectations society has, especially for women. What makes the book engaging is how the author presents these heavy topics through funny stories and a self-mocking tone, which makes it an easy and relaxed read. At the same time, the book is going to make you pause and think too.
Lastly, I would say that if you are looking for deep emotional stories or highly reflective storylines, you won’t like this book. But if you want to read a witty, laugh-out-loud book that has some subtle critique of societal norms, especially gender roles, under all the humour, then you should definitely read this one. I highly recommend it.

Twinkle Khanna is my favourite writer so I can be biased but will try to be honest. The book is really worth your time. in between a few chapters goes a little slow & that's maybe because she has a way of writing where she doesn't explain much. You got to feel the vibe, read between the lines to feel and understand what the writer must be feeling & thinking while writing it.
My 2 most favourite parts were by the end of the book where I got quite emotional. One was where she shared her letter to her son and elaborated that Mother Son emotions so beautifully & the other part was her talking about her Father & calling her dad's birthday Her Father's Day! it was heartwarming to read these parts.
besides them, all the chapters are quite relatable and have words of wisdom. not explained like in a philosophical book but in short with a powerful message.
Loved reading about her Family dynamics, about relatives, politics, ageing, menopause, feminism, neighbours, friends, motherhood, parenting, marriage, animals & My Favourite MALALA - that was truly a surprise, but the point she made was something you can expect from Twinkle Khanna's writing.
overall a Fun Read. a perfect Holiday Book!
100% recommended to readers & non readers!

Mrs. Funnybones Returns felt like catching up with that one friend who always makes you laugh while casually dropping uncomfortable truths. I went in expecting humor, and Twinkle Khanna delivered it generously, but what surprised me was how sharp and observant the writing is beneath the wit.
The essays touch on marriage, parenting, feminism, society, and everyday chaos with a tone that is self-aware, unapologetic, and refreshingly honest. I found myself laughing out loud at her one-liners and then pausing because the point she made hit a little too close to home.
What I loved most is how effortless the book feels. The language is simple, conversational, and relatable, making it perfect for dipping in and out of. It never preaches, yet it makes you think.

Mrs Funnybones Returns…
Her books are snacks — you gobble them up, and somehow they still fill your tummy.
Always packed with nuggets of truth tucked inside all that dry humour.
Some of my favourite lines:
✨ “If cinema is a reflection of culture, then do note that we made the iconic Mother India in 1957, and almost 70 years later, Father India has not even been conceived.”
✨ “Add a few years of extreme sleep deprivation and you have bone-tired women, convincing themselves in the same manner as victims of Stockholm syndrome.”
✨ “Most of us see love as an acquisition.”

It is a collection of stories that make you laugh, sigh, and think about life in India. The author writes like she’s sipping chai with a close friend, spilling honest bits about kids, in‑laws, menopause and the juggling act of work. There’s no heavy lecture here and just easy words and a sharp, funny lens on the silly moments we all recognize, from traffic snarls to family squabbles that feel all too real.
The book is broken into small chapters, so you can dip in during a coffee break or a commute without losing momentum. The author mixes jokes with reflections on politics, women’s lives and tiny daily wins, all while keeping tone light and non‑judgmental. Her style is straight from the heart, no fancy jargon, just clear, relatable tales that hit home for anyone navigating city chaos.
Reading it feels like catching up with that one friend who always makes you giggle while dropping a truth you can’t ignore. I expected pure humor, and she delivered it in spades, but the real surprise was sharp observation underneath the wit. The essays touch marriage, parenting, feminism and everyday mayhem with an unapologetic voice that makes you laugh out loud and then pause, because the point hits a little too close.
What I love most is how effortless book feels. Language is simple, conversational, perfect for reads. It never preaches, yet it makes you think.
Overall, it is light, smart and funny quick read that leaves you smiling and nodding in agreement.
The book is broken into small chapters, so you can dip in during a coffee break or a commute without losing momentum. The author mixes jokes with reflections on politics, women’s lives and tiny daily wins, all while keeping tone light and non‑judgmental. Her style is straight from the heart, no fancy jargon, just clear, relatable tales that hit home for anyone navigating city chaos.
Reading it feels like catching up with that one friend who always makes you giggle while dropping a truth you can’t ignore.

Twinkle Khanna is known for her wit and humour, which is why I picked this book. Also, because it is Mrs. Funnybones’ comeback whom I have loved in the past. And, the author did not disappoint me. Her one-liners along with some words of wisdom made this a very good read. The way she uses current political scenario or an incident from everyday life and draws an analogy from it is so amazing.

Unlike the first part, most of the articles are long and boring with little humour. It should not be called funny bones but due to lazy bones because the author has just penned down her thoughts without thinking. A wasted effort by such a talented writer.

Not so great book, highly repetitive, thoughts

Twinkle Khanna has that essential quality of being able to make fun of herself that makes her humour effervescent

The charm of Mrs Funnybones lay in its sarcasm wrapped in humor, along with its relatability and sense of freedom. The second book lacked that connection and felt unnecessarily drawn out
