Living in Indian society means getting our lives played by the hands of haughty judgemental people, especially when you are a girl.

It's her fault, she might have not followed what she was told and it's her Destiny. that's what we all hear right?

But this book marks the end of others hold on our life and breaks the stereotype of getting divorced which is perceived as a big sin in Indian society. Yes I agree that getting divorced is life-changing but it's not the end of the life and this story revolves around the same thing. 

Moreover, not all divorces end up badly some people are just happily divorced.

The story revolves around Varushka, who has just graduated with eyes full of dreams. She has a job opportunity in her hands but her parents have other plans. They want her to get married and Varushka like every obedient daughter complies. 

Enters Mitash, a perfect man, handsome sensitive smart lovable sophisticated and everything that a man is supposed to be. 

Varushka meets Mitash as her potential suitor and decides that he is the one for her. He understands her dreams, ambitions and it even seems to her that he would support her in achieving the same. Mitash is equally smitten by Varushka and this marks the beginning of their love.

They get married and move to Amsterdam where they are happily settled and the rest was quite predictable. The readers could easily predict what was going to happen next but then comes the plot twist. So now the question is, are they going to stay happily married or just going to get happily divorced?

Okay, so my feelings are jumbled up regarding this book. It has a good yet unique storyline but what I felt was that this book was extremely slow for my liking it just seemed like the author was stretching out the story when it could have been concluded a little earlier or she might have added some scenes that would make us understand the characters little bit more or she might have added some supporting characters which might have made the story much more interesting than it initially was. The writing style was good but the storytelling could have been better. All in all, it was an okayish read for me.
