Especially the Bill Gates part, the search for Riya, etc.Ĥ. There were few instances were the story was toooooo dragging. At last, no steamy sex or scandal – Yeah, there isn’t any.Ģ. Cheeky lines – Although sexist at places, his dialogues are realistic and humorous – a rare combo.ģ. Simple language, as always – CB and his idea of making everyone read.Ģ.

Enter Riya… Boom… After this if I reveal, it will be spoilers.ġ. “Yeah, no girl, but I nailed in English, you see.” But, his English is still pathetic that he goes to spoken English class in Patna. Long story short, he develops his mother’s school and tries to give peech in English. Hey, did I mention he is a prince? Yes, this guy is a broke prince. Here ends Act 1.Īct 2 starts in Bihar, Madhav ditches HSBC job paying him bloody-50K rupees/month (I wonder who pays so much to a B.A Sociology grad), to improve his village in Bihar. But, screw that, he is rich, so let them get married. Yeah, she used to call him bhaiya back then, even tied Rakhi. Guess who is she marrying, London groom (American grooms have become too mainstreamed, you see), Rohan bhaiyya. After a prolonged ‘Sorry-No need of your sorry’ scene, Rhea gives her wedding invitation to Madhav. The smart girl (did I say you they were just 18 years old in the story?) pushes him away, and he ends up abusing her with his typical Bihari slang. Enter Madhav, who was not-so-high-class with his boner into Riya’s bed. What happens next? Arrrgh, the male ego in Madhav gets hurt, and he along with his so-called love guru friends realize that Madhav fucking her is the only way of making her his. When people might think it is friends-with-benefits, it is the opposite lovers-without-benefits.

But, yeah wait, she accepts to be his half-girlfriend. He proposes her to be his girlfriend (read as propose to make love), she says no. Plot:Most of you would be aware of the book back synopsis however, to brief it up again: Madhav, a bihari guy with no English fluency falls for Riya, a high-class Delhi girl. What I perceived? I thought this book would something about friends-with-benefits or no-strings-attached type, which is now popularly trending. Let’s cut the small talk and get on to the real review. As Chetan says, I don’t remember him as a person who did this, I miss him when one year passes without his book. I was one of the many readers who pre-ordered the book, exactly the next minute Chetan Bhagat announced it officially. 2 hours – two uninterrupted hours was the time it took me to complete the 260 pages “Half-Girlfriend” novel by Chetan Bhagat.
