Summary of the Book
Rayna De has a lot of things going for her. Not that they're going well, of course. Her thirties are approaching fast and she's stuck in a dead end job with a boss who's clearly from hell. Her love life is non-existent. When Devan Ahuja enters the workplace, Rayna falls head over heels for him. Sadly, he's out of her league. He is sending her contradictory messages. According to the Page Three supplements, he seems to be happy with his model-turned-actress girlfriend. Her parents aren't helping by waving the photographs of Sid Bose in her face, trying to lure her with the much-desired salary package, three bedroom house et. al. Rayna thinks things couldn't get more confusing. She must think again, for fate has other plans.

Too grossing details
Otherwise, an interesting read. Although, I am little far from reaching my 30 but this one was just my story. Except for me, D huja is a client and not my colleague. *Winks*
Rating- Four stars.. Light read.

But honestly, after a long time, I have come across a book which ...
