The first book in the Forever duology Forever is a Lie is penned by Novoneel Chakraborty. The story revolves around Prisha and Saveer's love life accompanied by some mysterious shadows. The eyes of a girl on the cover page are alluring.
Prisha was 18 years old when she first met Saveer, also known as Mean Monster, in the Bengaluru party circuit. Being a 34-year-old, Saveer ignores her first and considers her a teenager; who does not know anything about true love.

My Review -
When you say everything, it kills the magic.
The first book in the Forever duology Forever is a Lie is penned by Novoneel Chakraborty. The story revolves around Prisha and Saveer's love life accompanied by some mysterious shadows. The eyes of a girl on the cover page are alluring.
Prisha was 18 years old when she first met Saveer, also known as Mean Monster, in the Bengaluru party circuit. Being a 34-year-old, Saveer ignores her first and considers her a teenager; who does not know anything about true love.
Prisha had a break-up, and somehow Saveer's words helped her to move on. She was obsessed with him and followed him everywhere with her friends, Diggy and Gauri. He brings her dark side in front of her.
Soon the circumstances changed, and their relationship started to flourish. They were so engrossed in each other that they avoided unusual signs that stated they were not meant for each other. Saveer has no kith and kin, no friends. They all were dead, but the reason was not mentioned in this book.
Soon the circumstances changed, and their relationship started to flourish. They were so engrossed in each other that they avoided unusual signs that stated they were not meant for each other. Saveer has no kith and kin, no friends. They all were dead, but the reason was not mentioned in this book.
Prisha's life is also at stake, but Saveer does not share his secret with Prisha, just like his dead ex-girlfriend, Isha. He has a pang of guilt, but he did not learn his lesson. Honesty is the key that Saveer lacks in his relationships.
The story felt flat and monotonous. It picked some fascinating elements in the end, but it was too late. The characters were okay; they did all the stupid things we expected from 18-19 years. The language is simple.

I read Cheaters last year and enjoyed it very much. I had high hopes for this one, but I am utterly disappointed. The book lacks a thrill aspect. I am not sure if I am going to pick the second book soon or ever.
