This book revolves around the Characters of Naithy Cherkoil, a successful businesswoman , her daughter Alice Cherkoil: young and smart, who can outwit anyone, Prem rollands: a talented student, Kalari expert and good in hacking too. He is out to kill his brother's murders. And then there are other characters like Officer Prakash, Tony: Canadian model and Naithy's husband, Underworld Don's Mia and so many.
.⚔The book starts with Alice murdering her stepfather Tony and escaping from police and other gang members who search her. She is really a smart kid, who outwits everybody who is after her, faking her identity. Meanwhile, Prem is working on a hydroelectric project and trying to kill his brother's murderer. Tony, is not really clean as he was shown. He was more than a model. The story is about, how these Completely different lives cross each other. What was the connection? Why did Alice kill Tony? Why Arun was murdered? What was Alice carrying with her? Read this book to find out answers to these questions.
⚔The writing style of the book is quite simple and fast-paced. Every character in this book is well developed. Prem is my favorite character. I still don't whether he is the good guy or the bad guy. I found the backstory of Kanna aka Tony quite draggy and boring. Maybe it is to give a clear context of what happened during those times. But it made me skip pages. The plot seemed quite complex, especially with the details of LTTE, ISI, and the underground worlds. Coming back to Alice, her witty moves was my favorite too. How she escaped and saved her mother was really interesting.
.⚔Overall a good fast-paced read!!⚔

BOOK REVIEW: STORIES OF US

🍀Stories of us is a collection of 41 short stories. Each of them so different from one another. But the only common factor among all these stories is that they are happening in our very own societies and most of us are ignoring those realities. Different stories touch upon different pages of our society. The Irony of many stories made me rethink the lives we are living in. Love, hunger, poverty, charity, sexual assault, marriage, loyalty, and much more are the concepts of these stories. I really liked many stories from this collection.
.🍀Some of my personal favorites are Boarding pass, which talks about how some people are talking to one another, after judging them by their appearance. Ummidein - A life of desires. I absolutely loved this one. This was written from the perspective of a boy who was born after two daughters in Indian society and how, Right after his birth, he is expected to fulfill everyone's wishes. It was written really well. Another one being, 56 offerings about how some people stand in line to give offerings to God but don't have a second to look at the beggars next to the temple. Garbage collector reminds of the people whom we are taking for granted. Shor - the Noise is kind of satirical. Okay, this list is getting really long. Anyway, The Theft, Wish to be a dog are my other favorites. Some stories are really disturbing.
.🍀But, I highly recommend this book. It is definitely a great read for beginners with easy language, relatable characters, and definitively a page-turner!
