Batshit by Kritika Kapoor
4.0
Batshit was interesting; a breath of fresh air from the usual ones
I rarely give Indian literature a chance.
Big fan of this theme & genre, so I instantly decided to check whether the new-gen Indian Novel was any good.
It started all well but went stale towards the middle. It went almost like every other generic Indian book. I was about to put it down when I reached the third act and it became somewhat better. Then it kept getting better. I don't know how the author fixed the pacing (or was it the removal of pretentious douchebags in the south Delhi society depicted in the book?) and salvaged the book.
I was hellbent on giving this a 2/5.
But Kritika Kapoor deserves brownie points for salvaging it, having written it well, and not screwing up a debut.
Good luck. And stay Batshit Crazy with such stories.
