THE READERS VERDICT

"The Flawed Girl" is a beautifully nuanced novel that embraces the complexity of life, reminding us that not everything can be seen as black or white; shades of grey exist in layers, shaping our world view and interactions with others

Anvesh Apoori

'The Flawed Girl' begins in earnest and picks up pace, maintains a steady cadence of twists and turns, and keeps you bound to it until you've reached the last page. The author, Nisha Shenoy, is a revelation. The novel keeps you emotionally invested in the journey of the lady protagonist, Itika Benegal, making you agree, disagree, empathize and at times wonder why she does what she does. Other characters are also given air to breathe and develop and do not serve just as plot-movement devices or satellites of the central character. That kind of writing takes maturity, patience, and involvement not just in the storyline, but also about how these character arcs develop and evolve

"The Flawed Girl" immediately pulls you in and swiftly develops, offering a constant rhythm of surprises that grips you until the very end. Its author, Nisha Shenoy, is a remarkable discovery. The book immerses you in the life of its leading woman, Itika Benegal, prompting you to both understand her actions and question them. The supporting characters are also well-crafted and go beyond simply propelling the plot or revolving around the main character. This type of storytelling requires not only a deep understanding of the plot, but also a significant commitment to the evolution of each character. I did find a few of the book's twists to be jarring, but the final chapters cleverly wrap up any loose ends. Nisha is a born storyteller who, I am certain, will captivate us with fascinating tales in the future.
