You Are Not Alone In This:Friends Forever By Vikrant Shukla



Title – You Are Not Alone In This : Friends Forever
Publisher – Penguin Randon House
Genre – Fiction

Though officially we have closed giving reviews but we couldn’t say No When we received a copy of this novel. This novel was already seen in the BESTSELLERS on many shelves and we were equally curious to read.

First impression of the book is WOW! Cover page, print quality and presentation speak for itself. Penguin is known for the perfection and this book is no exception. Though there is not much of imagination put in if we talk about the cover design but it somewhere strikes the chord and magnetize the viewer.

Story revolves around Daksh, who is a successful author. He has a loving wife, money, status – everything except a child. So when he meets his childhood friend Mahesh, he is overjoyed. But his happiness is short-lived. He learns that Mahesh’s follies have thrown his family apart. Daksh wants to help his friend, more so for the sake of his little daughter. However, soon they are sucked into a racket of cheating, lies and deceit. And things are not as easy to sort out as they first thought. This is the story of the true test of friendship.

Story-line is gripping and it captures the reader more into the character and plot with every page read. It is a decent read of 256 pages and there are so many twists in the book that it really becomes impossible to gauge to what will happen next. Reader is guaranteed to be entertained from start till the end.

Though we never give any hints in our reviews to kill the excitement of any book however we can’t stop ourselves from disclosing here the harsh facts revealed in this book which is a tight slap on the faces of people who cheats people on the name of quick money via work from home and on the name of multi level marketing. We have been in one of the sessions of MLM and we could correlate to the scenes where Mahesh was trapped by a few of the characters who were into MLM trap business. Not disclosing anything further, we leave it up to the readers to experience it themselves. An eye opener!!!

This book is unique with concept and with the way treatment is given to every character where enough detailing is given to help readers visualize the scenes.

A worthy read.
