It was an alright read but it kind of just felt very out of touch with the experiences of (most) people living in Pakistan; felt like it was about and probably catered to a more elite segment of Pakistani society that I feel like has probably the most access to these sorts of books anyways and would find them more relatable perhaps; plot-wise, it was pretty predictable and the end seemed kind of thrown together in a slap dash effort to finish the book

Bridget Jones in Pakistan. (not read bridget jones but seen the film)
Typical chick lit but in another country.
Cute story but awful awful cheesy film-type ending. Just no.

Story told us that we should have to be responsible for our mistakes and decision we make because then only we can learn from it... And be a wise man than a fool
"As an famous saying say, if you correct a fool he hate you, but correcting a wise man he will appreciate you..."
.
It's start with the dramatic death of a girl and only Crystal can see it , finding out that how it is being a Psychic, she have cool pair of friends who stand by her in every way, then she have cool mom , and her also would be dad, who have known this all along, her ability and her passion to help others turn this novel into a high voltage drama towards end , but it can be more interesting as story lacks villiany in the part of it... ...

ufffff, this was one of the worst books, i don't know how the dookidy doo did I even gave it two stars it truly doesn't deserve it. The writting was okay but the story was horrendous, look I know alcohol and sex etc. happens in Pak but it is not out in the open like how this book portrays it as.
This is not sending a 'positive mesage' to the world, ;oh no now people will think we do drugs and party,' everyne knows we do that and there is nothing wrong with that but what was wrong with this book is that it is not FUCKING REALISTIC. These things do happen and this city is pretty fucking dark but these things also only happen in the dark not in the fucking daylight and no and i repeat no hotel serves alcohol to locals no fucking hotel, restaurant whatever.
WHY BY THE GRACE OF EVERYTHING LIVING DO THE CHARACTERS DRINK ALCOHOL SO MUCH NO NORMAL PERSON DRINKS THAT MUCH ONLY ALCOHOLICS.

It was a beautiful, beautiful social satire.
I cannot explain how much I enjoyed reading this. Living in the same city I related with so much of this book. Gunshots (they're better thank God), traffic jams, several different public buildings.
Karachi was so much like this two years ago and I can't even remember the worst (according to my parents). THIS IS A MUST READ EVERYBODY!!
I loved Aysha. The way she didn't give up (well, maybe sort of) and I am so happy that my OTP became canon at the end
The slang made me laugh. This novel was one of the simplest yet wittiest things I have held in my hands.
I cannot write more because of blasted deadlines. Anyhow, cheers and Happy Reading!!!

Perfect, perfect read. Felt the ending was a bit rushed, but apart from that, it was one of the most relatable books ever for me. SABA IMTIAZ I STAN U!!!!!!
