What happens when ambition, friendship, and pressure collide in the halls of a top Indian engineering college? Welcome to Crack Semester 1 — a gripping, relatable coming-of-age novel that captures the raw, unfiltered reality of college life in India.
Follow Ishwaak, Gargi, and their circle of friends as they navigate late-night study marathons, awkward crushes, secret rivalries, and the emotional burnout that no syllabus ever prepares you for. Amidst jam-packed classrooms, chaotic labs, and endless assignments, something deeper brews — the quiet unraveling of trust, love, and identity.
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, unseen, or stuck in a world that moves too fast, this story will hit home. It's not about topping the class — it's about surviving the semester with your soul intact.
For fans of:
Campus novels with heart (Five Point Someone, Serious Men)
Relatable young adult fiction with emotional depth
Friendship dramas that don't sugarcoat the truth
Indian student life told with wit, honesty, and soul
Whether you're a student, graduate, or someone who still carries the weight of their first semester — Crack Code will make you laugh, ache, and remember.
