Plot spoilers ahead:
The book is about a woman who goes to an ashram for a detox only to bump into her ex-husband, who is there with his new wife. Predictably, she has an affair with him, while going back in memory lane and remembering what it was that drew her to him. However, as she finds out womanisers never change.
She also faces a moral dilemma when his cousin does something shocking that merits an FIR. How she handles situations that present themselves right through from the husband hitting on her to his cousin's unspeakable act form the crux of the book.
I like the way she has written this book. She has created a word portrait of a womanizer, complete with the charm, the lies, and the heartbreak in a believable fashion. Since it is set in an ayurvedic retreat, the book is laced with vata, pita, kapha references and some truly bizarre treatments. Twinkle's sense of humour bubbles up through the story although some parts are pretty grim. If you are a woman reading this, you will keep asking yourself how you would have handled similar situations.
