A very Delhi book, sometimes even a bit too Delhi, such that it edges out the outsiders. Nonetheless, an easy, fun read with its own crests and troughs. The book at times was riveting, especially towards the end (I woke up till 5 to get through the last few chapters), other times however, it got a bit tiring. The plot was pretty average but nonetheless exciting, and at times you could sense that this was written with the intention of translating it to screen (which it has been translated to). There were times when I found the writing, narration and plot to be extremely cringeworthy or a bit revoltin, other times however it sufficiently manages to be fun and entertaining. The ending also seemed a bit rushed and lacked, what I can best describe as, a crispiness. Like the puzzle pieces didn't quite click into place but somehow managed to give you the overall picture. Lastly, although the blurb did claim that this book will be a 'bloody good romance set in the heart of Lutyens' Delhi's, I would say, do not keep your hopes up. I haven't read other books by the author, but the romance bit literally falls flat on its face. 

Overall, a light and breezy read that I would rate a 3.25/5⭐
