Blurb :

A compelling, heart-touching story of a drug addict.

Aakash has so much emotional pain inside him that he can breathe only because of the escape that comes from the hits of smack. He looks for succor in his school sweetheart Aarti but she opts for the fast lane to come out of her impecunious situation in life. She manipulates the top industrialist Basant Somani into a relationship entirely on her terms. The industrialist's wife Rajeshwari Devi is a kind-hearted woman of religious mindset who makes several attempts at cleaning up the mess from Aakash 's life, but he fails her every time. The turn of events takes Aakash and Aarti to Haridwar where they rediscover their emotional connection but Aakash has already gone too far down the road of addiction. Can Aarti bring him back?

Review :

The author has the amazing ability to look at the real issues.

Even though this book is aimed at teens. It is a very good book that actually deals with a lot of things that teenagers and even adults struggle with. Teen age is the age of immaturity so many of them like Aakash and Aarti follow the wrong ways like drugs and affairs. The author Dr.Govind Sharma writes characters you feel and root for in the book. Though the title and cover is not that unique, blurb of the book compel you to pick it up. Language of the book is simple and easy to read. Overall I liked this book. If you are looking for a quick summer read. This would be a good pick.
