Plot Of The Book-

But she has to move to Mumbai city beacause she gets job letter from the prestigious IT company 'Tec sky Technologies'. She is already in a committed relationship with Ekansh Tripathi, who is working in Bengaluru. Ekansh is a most balanced guy Rivanah knew existed. He never shouts at her, never abuses her, never even touchs her the wrong way. Ekansh not only loves her, he isnpires her, encourages her, and in a way spoilet her emotionally as well by making her believe that there is someone for her to fall back on.

When she reaches Mumbai and takes taxi, she finds a ironed blue kurti. It seems like, this is the exact kurti which she wanted to wear in the morning. There is also a piece of white cloth with some embroidered in black in the middle. It is a message: Be Ready mini.

 From here stranger enters in her life and makes her life hell. 

 Mini is her pet name. She completely shocks how someone knows her pet name in a city where she knows nobody.  

Firstly, she starts living with her cousin Meghna, who decided to get marry to a Muslim boy 'Adil' against her family. But Rivanah feels very uncomfortable to live with Meghna because of Meghna and Adil's some major issues. Then, she decides to shift to a PG flat. There has her two flat mate, Ishhita and Asha. Soon, Ishhita becomes Rivanah's good friend with whom she shares a very great bond. 

On the other side, stranger manipulates her in different ways. Sometimes she feels, the stranger is her friend and sometimes denom. 

Soon, stranger exposes Ekansh's secret affair with another girl. She breaks up with Ekansh and she becomes a girl whose trust is completely broken by someone to whom she trusted the more than anyone. 

After sometimes, a guy enters in her life named 'Danny'. Danny is Rivanah's new neighbor. First time, she has crush on some guy other than Ekansh. 

As time passes, they falls in love with each other.

It is Interesting to know who is this stranger? 

What she wants from Rivanah?

Why is stranger following her? 

As book go ahead, it unfolds so many twists. 

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.
