General note Priya believes her dad died before she was born until her liar-liar-pants-on-fire mother tells her he is alive and wants to meet her. <br/><br/>But her dad doesn t just want to meet her, he wants to get to know her! Her ghastly beaky nose is clearly not the only thing Priya s inherited from him, he is as stubborn as she is. Suddenly, Priya s well-ordered, laid-back life is thrown into tumult with this dad person interfering with her routine, making her take maths tuitions and, even worse, getting popular with her friends, who really should have known better. And as if that wasn t enough, her mum s acting strange and giggly ... <br/><br/>Can Priya get rid of Dad the Bad before he completely messes up her life? <br/><br/>Earlier published as Chip of the Old Blockhead.<br/>Rupa Gulab is a columnist and the author of four novels. She is seriously addicted to chocolate, chips and colas. Fortunately, no doctor has managed to cure her so far.<br/><br/>Reviews<br/><br/>Rupa Gulab's Daddy Come Lately is an insightful look into the difficulties of teenage life, made worse by parents and various adults. Gulab has a light touch and uses humour and understanding when she tells the story of Priya, who suddenly finds that a father she thought was dead is not just alive but threatening to shatter her cosy life with her mother. As Priya strains against new bonds, and the father she feels has been foisted on her, she must also deal with the more mundane problems of school and teachers and friends and crushes. This makes for a delightful read, with its clever use of language and its wit. Priya is at times adorable but can also be annoying and pigheaded, making her very real indeed. A must-read for young adults and anyone who remembers what it was like to be young,<br/><br/>A nice storyline with quick puns and jokes this story delivers the confused essence of the teenage years in life.....amazing..<br/><br/>
