‘What do you call it when three beautiful women come in your life, but you are still single? What if they all, at some point, tried to entice you, but you feel like committing suicide because of loneliness? What do you call it when you made no mistake, but still, you feel guilty as sin?
Jay had a common life until Saloni, Prachi and Vineeta came in his life and changed everything.
At times, he avoided the love that knocked at his door, and when he actually needed it, the same love kicked him.
He betrayed… He got betrayed.
He rejected… He got rejected.
From being shot in the back by Prachi's father to getting intimate with Vineeta under the influence of alcohol, his life was as spicy as those masala Bollywood movies!
He was getting used to his life, until one night, he decides to jump off a building and end everything...’

Review:
Thanks to Lab Academia Book Reviewer club for sending me a review copy of the book and Congratulations to the author for being a best seller and for coming out with your second edition. Cover of the book is appealing but what I got is something different from what is used as a cover. Blurb of the book makes the book exciting and leaves you with a question mark and it makes you reading the book in one go. It started with a friendship of Jay and Saloni, and the incidents were beautifully written. But then as it happens in every friendship, one falls in love with another. Plot of the book was common and the suspense could be easily judged in the middle of the book only. But there was emotion fully packed in the book which made me think twice about really falling in love. I questioned myself after some incident and they were more or less true. Saloni's character was missing in the middle of the book and suddenly brought in the end. Relationship with Prachi and Varsha was shortly described which I think could be extend but it's good that author tried to keep the matter short and to what is required. Thankfully, the author didn't add any unrealistic thing which is really appreciable. Editing of the book was up to the mark, language was simple to understand. It's a good read when you are travelling.
I like-
1) Jay and Saloni's friendship.
2) Supporting character of Father.
3) Jay waiting for the right time to confess his love.
I dislike-
1) Ending was not good.
2) Some incidences like drinking in school's farewell that makes it impractical.
I hope the author would improve the negative points in his next novel.
