“Untruly Yours” is Smita Shetty’s debut novel. As a first time author she has done an excellent job (regarding her writing skill).

The book has only 146 pages and I think it’s too quick and short for the “proper execution of the story” and eventually the story seems half-baked. Characters are identifiable but I found something missing in the definition and presentation of every character except Maya.

The book centres around an instantly likeable klutzy Natasha and follows her comical journey into self-discovery. The book doesn’t disappoint you and if I were to pick a flaw, then I would definitely say it’s been priced very low.
For a debut book it makes a great uplifting and hone...
