This was my second Preeti Shenoy book ( I read 36 Bubblegums and Candies almost immediately before this one), but for some reason, this is the book I want to write about here.
I found the book extremely contemporary and modern, dealing with issues that many of us come across but are unaware of how to handle. the characters are quiet well developed and Preeti has a knack of bringing the protagonist to life, making you identify with her as a firend or an acquaintance you once knew, sometimes seeing shades of yourself in her actions.
I finished reading the book in a day ( it is really a novella, more than a novel) and so did two of my friends who described it as "unputdownable"- one of them infact stayed up the entire night so that she could finish reading it..
I felt that Preeti Shenoy had a knack of identifying contemporary topics and weaving a tight narrative around it without falling into the trap of letting romance overtaking the central theme - I for one am eagerly awaiting her next installment.
P.S:- I did not find 26 Bubblegums and Candies as promising; Am lucky to have bought both of Preeti's books together, else might not have given a second glance to this one.
