YOU CAN NOW LISTEN TO THE HINDI AUDIOBOOK, just on Audible! [ FEATURED ON WATTPAD INDIA'S JANUARY 2020 READING LIST: TEEN FICTION] A typical Indian family. A bit conservative, quite pushy and forcefully loving. And in the middle of that sits Shweta. She's a spunky eighteen year old with a mind of her own and a sassy mouth to match. She's got her own views about her life and doesn't hesitate letting other people know about it. Only it doesn't often bode well for her. This time, Shweta's really done it. She's done the unforgivable deed and lost her virginity to a boy who isn't even her boyfriend. Yet. If that wasn't enough, her period's gone missing. What happens when Shweta tells her mother the truth? Drama, of course. Only she hadn't expected things to fall apart as drastically as they do. Join Shweta as she tries to brush off slut shaming, keep her head high and try to find a place for herself in the judgy, conservative world. Will she succeed? Or will she bow her head and allow society to bend her into shape like countless before her? A coming-of-age story. [WORD COUNT: 51,000 WORDS] COMPLETED.

It may feel good to be pretty, but the problem with being beautiful is that there are thousands of people who look like you. Ugliness, however, is unique. ------------------- One girl, a walking-talking example of contradictions -- ambitious but naive, kind but blunt, social but awkward -- is living in perhaps the most competitive society in this world. She has a dream, a fairly conventional and acceptable dream, one which every parent would approve of. Unfortunately, millions of others share this dream, and in order to fulfill hers, she has to eliminate her competition, literally. Throw in a fair share of drama. Friends and family, crushes and exes, decisions and choices, and the life story of an Indian teenager would be complete. ---------------------- The last few years of school are the most memorable; grades, stress and career mixed with friends, fun and dreams. But most of the time when we are planning our awesome candid picture-perfect life, we end up crossing the 'i's and dotting the 't's. ------------------------------------ COMPLETED ON JULY 14, 2018 Featured in the teen fiction reading list of Wattpad India!
