ABOUT THE BOOK

Alice’s greatest pleasure in life is hanging out with his friends Nitin, Iyengar and Bakchod, mostly at the chai shop outside their old college. He has a job he doesn’t hate, friends he likes and a life that is vaguely happy. Sure, it might be time for him to embrace adulthood, and yes, he can’t quite visualize his future clearly, but none of these concerns are big enough to push him out of his comfort zone. Until a series of events – the death of a college friend, a budding romance – start to shape his personal life, and Alice is forced to reckon with the fact that his life will change, whether he wants it to or not.

Talking about the book, Satwik Gade says ‘This book is an ode to “chosen families” – friends with whom you share so much of life that they become something much more than friends. We don’t have a ready made vocabulary for such relationships so it takes a whole book!’

Swati Daftuar, Executive Editor at HarperCollins India, adds ‘Funny, sharp, dark and real, Satwik’s book will leave a mark on its reader. Alice’s world invites us to dive in and experience – to live and relive – all the uncertainty and mess and beauty and pain that comes with growing up. It’s an ode to change, to both fighting it and embracing it.’
