Himani Dalmia, the debutant author's attempt at highlighting modern life is interesting and realistic - Himani's characters, like any others in high society metros attending page 3 parties. They are portrayed as matured, thinking individuals, unlike the carefree ones in a typical chick flicks. However, at times, the plot becomes repetitive and the problems seem thrust on the characters. A good read on a lazy Sunday afternoon!

I read this book recently and I loved it. She has managed to create quite a wonderful world for her character which is sophisticated and charming with its problems but not like silly problems like soap opera. I loved it.
