My take-
I love to read Novoneel Chakarborty's book. And this one is also an astonishing piece which I read. Author used simple language. All the characters are well written and described.
If you had gone through with a heartbreak then, definitely you can connect yourself with Rivanah.
This book is about an young and independent girl who comes to a big city. And how is it difficult to live alone in a city like Mumbai with strangers.
Here are some quotes from the book. I hope you likes it.
• If love is based on priorities and conditions, it can certainly die because priorities and conditions keep changing in life all the time.
• people judge the unknown with their knowledge of the known.
• Fear is the most prized illusion that we create for ourselves.
• The love that seems true isn't always true love.
• Half- heartedly knowing well nothing could mend a broken heart except, maybe, time.
• Emotional investments are subject to life risks.
This is a first book of stranger trilogy. It has two another books "All Yours, stranger" and "Forget Me Not, Stranger". The review of these two books will come soon.
