Critically acclaimed

• "The Perfect Paramour'' by Mahi Ahluwalia is an epitome of what we call non existent illusions but a still prevalent reality of life. The story follows tints of everything one is apparently curious about in youthful exuberance. Taking a stance on drugs to rape, the book is undoubtedly a unique read given the fact that narration and perspective is a bit different to any genre one could admire. It's an easy read with the swirls of emotions running at every page with thoughtfulness and honesty. The book is a subtle combination of not so subtle darkness in which life is sometimes engaged. The book is really fast and furious, almost like a bullet of excitement. As mentioned, the book is a real mix of urban fantasy elements with realistic instances making it a perfect weekend read.

• Worth being adapted into a feature film:
  The perfect paramour is a book which has been written from the viewpoint of many characters, which indeed is a new kind of a literary work. The reader gets into a deep connection with the story right from the beginning up to the end. It is a true delight for literature lovers.

• A thriller book full of unexpected twists and turns and triggers as well. The book revolves around four characters all very different from each yet all interconnected. Fateh a student and a journalist is a kind hearted soul, Jasmine a wild and carefree person, Noor a childlike and sweet personality and Raavi an independent and hardworking girl. The book takes you on a rollercoaster ride of love, friendship, lust, anger and rape. The narration is upto the mark and makes you a spectator of the interlinked lives of these four people. The book is worth the time and deserves a read. A gripping book that makes you glued to it till the end.
