When a strong, self- dependent and bold lady, Vipasha, known to her friends as Vee, makes a choice that changes everything, she is left to wonder if life really holds any reason at all. The story starts with Vee lying in a hospital after making the biggest decision in her short 18-year-old life.
Vee, loving and carefree, is overridden by lust at the ripe age of 18; she lands up pregnant and has to make the final call on whether to keep the child or not. She chooses to become a single mother, which leaves her modeling career and personal life in mayhem.
After being deserted by her family and Ankush, the man she thought she loved, she finds comfort and love in her son, Aryan.
The story fast-forwards to sixteen years later and we see a new Vee. Working between two jobs to keep bread on the table, her relationship with her son is emotionally stirring and elating to read. While Aryan hopes his mother finds her Prince Charming, Vee nurtures her secret crush on the quirky vet, Saurabh.
This small world where Vee survives is ripped into shreds when two major twists hit her life. An accident at her dig-boarding facility and the return of Ankush into her life bring chaos flowing in all ways. As Vee, Aryan and Ankush get into a roller-coaster heading straight to nowhere, the reader enjoys their bumpy ride.

Review
If you write from your heart , you can make a beautiful story out of the people around you and the things you see everyday and Preeti Shenoy does exactly that. She is a master storyteller. IN IHFAR Preeti tells the story of Vee and how she transforms from a 18 year old moony-eyed teenager to a baddass single mom. Each character from Vee's life is unique and interesting. Some books can be judged by their covers and when you start reading IHFAR you know the cover does justice to the story. The ride is indeed spectacular. A must read --Rupalim Feb 21, 2015
