The book takes you through the journey of the protagonist’s struggles in a boarding school. Love is an emotion that every youth experiences and talks about how it complicates friendship. The characters are inspired from people I come across in my journey and have incorporated their personality trait. The book has an emotional connect and the youth will easily relate to it.”
