This is a book that makes you cry, makes you laugh, and makes you trigger your minds as well. The book has emotions of love, jealousy, seduction and anger. But its also a feast for women as it has a woman-centric narrative, as it emphasises on this very attribute- How a woman should be strong enough to take a stand for herself, for if she doesnt, nobody else will.The book is also a chocolate read for young readers.
