Freinds According to Me
I used to believe that losing people happened after arguments.
Then I learned that silence can hurt more than goodbye.
When sixteen-year-old Ishika begins Class 10 in Jamshedpur, she expects another ordinary school year filled with teachers, board exam pressure, and familiar routines. Instead, one empty seat changes everything.
Meher's simple question-"Can we be friends?"-becomes the beginning of a bond built on shared lunches, inside jokes, colorful pens, and promises that feel permanent at sixteen.
But growing up has a cruel way of testing even the closest friendships.
Set against the everyday chaos of school life, Friends According to Me is a raw coming-of-age novel about the people we choose, the ones we lose, and the version of ourselves we discover when someone we thought would stay quietly walks away.
Because sometimes, the deepest heartbreak doesn't come from love.
It comes from a friend.
