'By turns witty, compassionate, and toe-curling. An incredibly astute and propulsive writing of modern relationships, familial, platonic and romantic' SUSANNAH DICKEY
'Ghost Chilli is enjoyably bittersweet, a black comedy that conjures the turbulent twenties in all their isolation and shame' TELEGRAPH
'A kaleidoscopically detailed novel of twenty-first century life, full of human comedy, which finds richness in the quotidian, ephemeral, and overlooked' LUCIE ELVEN
'Exquisite, forensic and tender . . . This book gently brûléed my heart' DOREEN CUNNINGHAM
Muskan has a great a creative job in the big city, supportive friends, and no trouble finding first dates. So what if her colleagues don't know she exists, or her friends won't stop lecturing her about the three-year 'situationship' she's in? It's not like she's starving.
But something is wrong, and while the people around her seem to have all the right words, nobody can articulate what they want from each other. As obstacles mount and the easy-going persona Muskan has built starts to crumble, she is forced to face a question that's been quietly burning at the back of her Why did her family move to America so abruptly?
Warm, funny, and sharply observed, Ghost Chilli is a story about trying to find honest relationships in an isolating world, and the weight we unwittingly carry.

Curiós el capitol final a Barcelona, m'ha deixat helada☠️ Pensava que hi hauria molt més menjar en aquest llibre i crec que per això m'ha decepcionat, per no dir que no crec que la protagonista evolucioni gaire i que al final sembli que està millor perquè ha aconseguit retrobar-se amb el Patrick... en fin
