The Knot: You Have the Right to Change by Ajay Bhootra

4.0

The Knot by Ajay Bhootra portrays a notion of fantasy and conventional norms of the community. According to the blurb, the story is best suited for the readers above 18, which makes sense after reading the first page. I like the cover design. It grabs attention and the subtitle, "you have the right to change" gives positive vibes.

Plot - The main characters of the story are Rhea and Ronnie. Born and brought up in Kolkata, Rhea decides to pursue her undergraduate from St. Xavier's in Mumbai. Here she met Ronnie, a year senior. They both came from a wealthy family, but their beliefs and upbringing were varying. Rhea's family loves her a lot while Ronnie's parents never show him affection. He turned out to be a spoiled brat. When Ronnie first saw Rhea, he was spellbound by her beauty. All he wants is to fuck her. He befriended Rhea with the help of Ayesha and Danny, his partners in crime.

Ronnie's plan set in the motion. The parties, dates, college gossips all lead Rhea and Ronnie close, but not close enough to get what they both want. Their haste decision of marriage opposed by Rhea's parents, but her stubbornness alters everything. Soon she realized the mistakes she made, and try to rectify them. In the process of self-realization, Rhea set a benchmark for everyone. While Ronnie's infatuation drives him to nowhere.

Overall, the book questions the old age way of relationship and how it affects the life of youths. It starts with sheer lust and ends up with a thought-provoking speech, showcases human ambitions and struggles. I would certainly recommend it.
