On the surface it’s a light hearted fiction, but on another level it is about conflicting relationships, alter egos, choice explorations, and people at cross roads in different stages of their lives.Marriages are not always made in heaven, interesting rendition of characters and shades of love .This is no Prince charming and Cinderella kind of a story. It’s real, gripping and a so typical story of women in the urbane space. The online chats and the escapades with the online suitors are hilarious and quite a revelation to the world of online dating.’
