Me thinks
This story explores the fragile nature of Indian marriages very closely. It also shows us the real fact of our society in terms of dealing with issues like divorce and failed marriages. It has an upper middle class value systems strewn across the story making it more connectable for the masses as readers.
The story talks about Priya a girl who is in love with her husband to an extent that it can be called blind devotion. He decides to divorce her for reasons best known to him. The story is how Priya tries hard to get him back and in the process learns the biggest lesson of life - to live for one's ownself for at the end of the day that is most important.
In this journey she meets Abhimanyu through a common friend who falls for her but on seeing her condition refrains himself and stays along as a good friend. Their camaraderie is something for each one of us to read and experience, it is so magical that it will surely remind you of a friend like this in your life.
Characters have been very clearly defined, neatly etched though I felt at a few places maybe some of the characters don't have much of value add to the screen play. Having said that it does not deter the charm this book holds for its readers. The author has a decent grip of writing and that is what makes this one a gripping read with lucid language and a fluid story flow.
Recommended for readers across genres who love light reads and enjoy them.
