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.
