My Thoughts:

The plot is well written and based on the real issues that we can actually see around us or sometimes would have seen in reality. People sometimes fall in love at first sight but we never ask ourselves if it is actually love or just an infatuation. I loved the message that the author has put forward through this story and I feel everyone should learn from this that we need to be cautious of our movement especially while dealing with strangers. 

The characters are well developed and relatable. We all have at some point of our life have met people. I liked the friendship between Ravi, Raaj and Bhanu. They all have some flaws which makes the characters more realistic. 

Language is simple and lucid. The pace of the story is also perfect. 

The book cover and title is apt to the plot. 

Overall, I would say that this is a book with very important message and there’s a lot to learn from all the characters in the book.

My Rating: 5/5
