“When I dive deep in this water, it’s all dark there. That darkness always tries to kill me, but I always reply, ‘not yet…’ and come out from it. But I think one day, that darkness will reply to me back, ‘you are done.’ Ahh! I hope I can live without this heart; it hurts a lot. If I won’t open my eyes right now, then I will be dead, and if I did, it will be the same anyway. I think I should stop depending on others when I’m at my worst.”

But Certain turn of events makes nikhil go back to square one. From there a twisted journey into another world starts. How and why ? Was Vaishnavi responsible for this? What will he learn from the alternate universe.
The concepts imagination and building of the parallel world was nice and fun to read. The only downside was the font size was too small for my preference and the book was bit lengthy.
Read this fantasy cum romance read for an equally entertaining and meaningful plot where author takes up the issues of teenage depression due to loss of a close one, mental health and let's us contemplate about our reality.
