Captivating Illusions: A New Adult Romance
"If he does anything which hurts you even remotely, you tell us, okay? We could always hire the hit and run people." Four friends—Manha, Zahra, Eshaal, and Ride—share a bond built on faith, wisdom and love. Coming from different backgrounds and having different personalities, they all have different stories to tell; different ways of coping with the test of time. Traversing through desi aunties, prospective suitors, unpleasant encounters and the center that they have built from scratch, they seem to have it all under control; but that is only until one of them unknowingly steps into murky water, and by extension, drags the others. Suddenly, nothing is as it seem. In the long unwinding path that stretches ahead of them, what dirty truths are they going to uncover? How is it going to affect their lives? And what about their knights-in-shining-armour? Will they even arrive in due course of time? Bringing to you a tale often dealt with but seldom spoken about. A tale that speaks of love, pain, happiness, and most importantly, the silver lining and whether it's found.

Those of you who are lucky enough to have already read this precious bundle of pages on wattpad would still want to buy the book here, without a doubt.
Why???
This is hands down one of the best novels so far for any practicing desi muslim out there, to relate to!
Now, now, that doesn't mean it's restricted to the muslim readers - Any of you who wants a sneak-peak at the inside life of your friendly hooded/bearded classmate or collegue or for that matter your very generous biryani wala neighbour and what they go through in the present society, is welcome to delve into this wattys 2018 winner!
Needs a special mention on the author's knack of blending the little pleasures of life with the harsh unacceptable realities of the same. You'd be found relaxing and relishing at the coziness of the plot one moment and effortlessly follow a nail-bitting anxiousness, the other intance. There is a perfect mix of fun and philosophy plaited in the plot, which you can't miss to appreciate.
Such a heart-tugging and cleanest romance I've ever laid my hands on which guarantees you to shed salty droplets and heartfelt chuckles all-in-one!
But don't just get settled with friendship and romance that this book seems to be about - There's MORE, unexpectedly!!
It should be gems like these that deserve to adorn the racks of your favourite book store, the ones that truly revolutionizes the society.. Not the same'ol same'ol fantasy and cliche romance genres that does nothing but waste your time and money - Don't you agree (and feel gulity)?
You can't ought to miss this journey, well maybe, at your own loss!
P. S. Flip through the pages of the sample copy on Amazon and you'd know you wouldn't make a mistake by getting ahold of this gem of a book
