YOU ARE HERE- book review

I read this book written by Meenakshi Reddy Madhavan, whom my friend adored as a blogger alot. I initially started reading it with a doubt that probably I will not complete it, but as I got engrossed in the story and I couldn't resist myself from reading it.

The writer has done a brilliant job. The ups and downs in a relationship, and the unconditional love /lust is well captured by her. The state of mind Arshi (the main character ) goes through in the story is framed excellently in the story, all the emotions of a girl/ women in her mid twenties her craving for love, her idea of life, her definition of fun, her mood swings are arrested very well.

Besides all this, the story being of a girl in Delhi and highlighting all the in places in Delhi made me nostalgic about the time/freedom I enjoyed in Delhi. Thus, I loved the novel inside out.
