Review
The book is really very well written by Durjoy Datta. He showed "Deep" as a simple shy boy to which many persons can relate themselves easily. The love story is quite different as seen in other books. the sounds and sights Deep and Ahana observed in Hong Kong is narrated in a unique way. Everywhere it was pleasure reading the book with no disappointment. The story became damn interesting at the end. Probably one of the best books i ever read. --By Vibhash on 27 March 2015
I believe if u don't have someone to hold your hands with just put your hands in the pockets but this book incouraged me to again spread my hands and accept someone hands in my hand. Well written well expressed and well emotionalized. --By Shubham Dwivedi on 20 February 2017
