3.0
Novoneel's works are something I picked up when the real world felt too tough, when I badly needed a medium to escape. And I return to them even now, after long intervals of time. Whenever I crave a sense of familiarity in the things I read, a touch of comfort.
I give it 3 stars out of 5.
⭐- I loved the way the characters were woven, especially the protagonist, Garv.
⭐- The psychology behind extra marital affairs explained by the author was up to the mark. People are indeed ready to risk a bond nurtured for years because of temporary thrill.
⭐- Like all his books, it was unputdownable.
⭐🚫- The ending was not completely agreeing to me. It felt like an 'I can fix him' trope. To be true, Garv did not deserve Nihira.
⭐🚫- I expected a more dominant role of social media in the storyline.
