Congratulations on a well written engaging book!

Nitish, what I am saying is you are indeed a wordsmith. Your book is quite like a whiff of modern romance with all the modern traps and temptation to stray! I enjoyed the book and am impressed of your handling of the different strings. I found that timelines were quite easy to follow and once I got that sorted in my head, I could easily go back and forth. Very entertaining take on the trouble dating apps can spring on. I hope to see Bollywood taking it up!

A good book is one that makes the reader feel. It takes the reader on a compelling journey. An interesting story weaved around dating apps, love and blackmailing. There is itself an escapade in the very beginning of the story which draws up a thrilling scene. The story reflects the current circumstances of every human's daily life. The online dating app, love and true meaning of friendship can be seen in the story which makes the book interesting and more fascinating. Loved the way the writer builds up suspense right from the start. Narration is also smooth which makes the book an easy and quick read. The author clearly meets the reader's expectations through the story.
