The story is about Madhav and Riya, who meet in St. Stephen’s college in Delhi. Madhav is from a small town, almost rural area in Bihar. He joins St. Stephen’s and falls in love with Riya. I really don’t want to say more as it will take away something from the reading experience. All I can say is there are lots of twists and turns in Madhav and Riya’s story. Half-Girlfriend is an out-and-out love story so it is not a morality tale with a big message as such. It is also a story about a person who doesn’t speak good English and how he copes in India. It also talks about the state of primary rural education in the country. Author Sir Chetan bhagat never forget to make the baseline interesting so that readers don’t lose patients while reading almost 200+ pages. Worth reading this so go and get your copy.
