Cover is quite eye catching , the starkblack background with the melancholic look of the woman looks very nice.


The story revolves around lives of three college friends which they start sharing as they meet one day.

One of the lines that I remember from the story where the lady says- "Which is more curseful - not to be with the one we love or to be with the one who we hate ,even share the same bed ? " . I felt is was quite thoughful...

Check the blurb here -


The characters are very well developed and there lives are relatable. The friendship they carry among them is heart warming with all the acceptance and caring they share.


The life of the three friends are different but they touch issues like Domestic violence , unrequited love , romantic affairs between inequal age groups with large age gaps , traumatic stress, self esteem problems , betrayal , rape , lust , love , childhood issues and revenge .It also shows that it is needed to talk out our sadness sometimes to trust worthy close ones.


What I liked is the sentences are adorned with beautiful collection of words. The picturization if the situations , background of the places are nicely described. It shows the author has taken time to emphasize the seriousness of the issues.


Narration is very fast paced and for an impatient reader like me it impressed me.

How the story starts with the friendly meeting was a new way to start a fiction and I found it unique and nice. Short chapters felt easy and fast to complete.

What I felt was bit over the board for me were few intimate scenes where they could have been kept a bit lighter and not so bold as per the real situation , but of could each reader has there own preference. This is just one of my thought.

Binding and cover is good. Specially font size and page quality is very good.


A good fiction woven with suspense , enthralling and intriguing twists.Also carries message for the society and it is not a lovey dovey college friendship tale.


All in all a good read.


My rate - 3.8 / 5
