They all put in their hard efforts they also go through many hardships while preparing for the exam. Will the three of them succeed or will life sudden turn for them? To know read ‘The White Collar’

My Thoughts:

                The plot revolves around three characters i.e. Neha, Akash and Kamal and their journey towards their career. Author has dealt with the topic of Corruption through this story and how it is affecting each and everyone in our society.

                Characters are well introduced and relatable. We get to see how people change over a period of time and indulge into various activities which are not right for anyone. I found Neha to be a girl who strongly wanted to oppose corruption and was very pained to see the plight of the people who were into it.

                Language is simple and lucid. The narration was well done. The cover page and the title of the book are apt to the plot.

                Overall, it was a light read and can be read in one sitting.

Rating: 3/5
