My review: 🌟🌟🌟.7/5
The story is about a college going girl named Palak living in a hostel in Delhi. She is kinda spoilt who loves to get drunk, do weeds, drugs and party with her friends. They want to live their their life to the fullest but are not aware that their so called fun is soon going to lead them into a shocking state of events. When one of Palak’s friends informs the gang about a Rave party they all decide to attend it to enjoy for one last time before the rxams start. But something heinous takes place in the party..Palak gets raped. Who raped Palak? Was it intentional or done in a drunk state?
The book is an easy read with a thought provoking plot and a heart wrenching storyline. The sufferings faced by the person who has gone through such a situation is displayed in the book. It’s easy to point fingers and comment but no one can understand the mental situation of the girl. The book is an eye opener for the society. Men need to learn that respecting women is one of the biggest signs of masculinity and not demeaning them. The author deserves appreciation for writing this book from the point of view of the girl who has to endure. The characters of the book are well casted in point of view of the story. Though I did not like the sudden jumps from one situation to another but still the book should be read once to understand the traumatic sitiations the girl has to face and how the society responses.
