Readerwriter Stories

A conversation between a reader and a writer. This is not a fictional love story. There is no hero. There is no romance. 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. BECAUSE WRONG IS WRONG- even when it's written beautifully.
