Read another book from Ravi Subramanian. The bestseller she wrote.
This is the first book whose title doesn't contains the word bank, I thought the maybe in this story, there will be no reference to the bank as is the case with other books by the same author. But I was proved wrong.
Here again the protagonist as well as all major characters are working in bank.
The only deviation was that the plot is based outside the back. The theme was about personal lives of those people whereas in earlier books the plot was based on professional lives of the characters.
As the last book I read from the same author was Incredible banker which has a major plot twist based on naxalites. And as in this book also there is a major reference to Naxals. I has a feeling of Deja Vu. But at most this incident was a blind turn (Maybe intentionally put by author so that the readers will be surprised at the end to know that there was no naxal connection.

But on the other end, for readers who have not read his earlier book, This will be come as an unexplained part.
Also the main thorn in the flesh for this week is that the relationship between Aditya and Shreya is not explained in this book. Its an extra-maritial affair alright and I can understand that both were themselves confused about their feelings about each other. But at-least could have given us some sneak peak into the turmoils in their minds, which is invariable when you are confused about your feelings for the other person.
Another sore points is that unlike authors previous books, Here the final twist was more of a case of tying loose ends.
The female protagonist Shreya says that she doesn't reads Indian authors book specially thriller, The only author she has read is the male protagonist itself. It can be interpret as self depreciating humor but dont know why it looks to me like an arrogant statement.
The climax is also too fairy tale - like, Something which is hard to digest in a thriller showing grey shades of everyone.
But there are some things I liked about this books.
First I like the Idea of book about a best-seller author and a wannabe best-seller author.
The idea of possessiveness, ambition, pride and jealousy is also explained very well through its characters, In fact each of its characters is used as metaphor for one this feelings. e.g.
The main protagonist Aditya is all about ego and pride.
Shreya is shown as image of possessiveness and ambition
And Aditya's friend Prakash is driven by Jealousy
The flow is good and narration tight. The professional environment depicted looks beleivable
A good read which can be finished in one long sitting

The narrative moves at a tight pace and the characters of Shreya keeps readers guessing
