Book Review🍂

Hello Bookish Sweethearts🦋

Recent Read : 'The Drama Queen' by Ashna Khan.

The storyline revolves around a woman who has given up her fake identity and left the institution of marriage with hassle. 

Shreya Vasant, an upcoming actress, who has married a bollywood superstar Rawat, boldly called off their relationship despite of the society's cruel judgement.

When a woman abandons her husband, the society frames her as a gold digger, aggressive and stubborn. Same fate falls upon Shreya's head when she abandons the greedy, malicious and prententious man who is framed as bollywood's sensational hero. The society corners her and treats her like a pompous attention seeker. Controversies surrounds her life. 

But Shreya doesn't care about the society, she is prepared to face the gossip mongers and fights her battle alone. She strongly faces the horrors of slut shaming and victim blaming when she starts the designing business with her ex boyfriend Kunal. But her successful life triggers the ego of Rawant. He desperately wants Shreya to regret the decision she has made to leave Rawant. He is an arrogant sexist and male chauvinist who is not ready to accept his defeat. Even after 18 years of their divorce, he still tries to assassinate her character through media. How Shreya is going to survive boldly amidst the victim blaming society? This is the plot line of 'The Drama Queen' by Ashna Khan.

 The writing style resembles a fast paced movie script. The struggle of a woman in the pompous field has been showcased with easy language and lucid narration.

 The book is not a deep one with extra profound details, the characters are well established with pertinent significance. If you have read so many deep women centric books, 'The Drama Queen' might look like a 'yet another  women centric story' because of the non literary narration and lucid language. 

I would like to recommend this book for the readers who are not much into deep narration and who love reading fast paced 'movie script' kinda books.
