This book reflects the reality of the Bookstagram and reading community.It calls out what is often ignored, excused, or romanticised. Through the voices of two sisters Gauri, a young reader, and Abhaya, a writer we explore why certain popular tropes are problematic, and how fiction quietly shapes our thoughts, desires, and boundaries.

"Don't fall for me," I warned, my voice low. "Me? In love with you?" she laughed, a mocking sound that cut sharper than any blade. "Oh, you're so delusional, Reyaan. This is a contractual marriage, remember? I will never fall for you-not in a billion years." Her words snapped something inside me-something dark and reckless. And her eyes, those perfect shades of brown, gleamed with a silent challenge. "Not in a billion years, huh?" I echoed, my voice dangerously soft. "Is that a challenge, Brownie?" I took slow, deliberate strides toward her. "Because I never lose one," I whispered against her ear, pinning her against the elevator wall, feeling her sharp intake of breath as I caged her in.
