Two different people apart by nature but connected by an organization working for same goal. Their stories got overlapped with each other in an unexpected way. In the world of social media and helping needy one, will they survive their love? 

I didn’t have any expectation with this book. I have read some of Durjoy’s book before and they felt like cliché bollywood romantic movies. He is a good writer but his stories never appeal me. But this book has passed with flying colours.

One of the most important part of this book was structure. I really liked how he merged two different stories. The main characters are polar opposite and their character growth is outstanding. Apart from main leads book has chapters from other supporting characters which initially felt boring. But as it progress I realize their necessities to the story. There are so many twist and turns which hooked readers till the end.

At start, you may find book little dull and confusing but after chapter ten it progress rapidly. So you should grab this book for your next read. Because I promise you, it’s worth it.
