Exposing the hilarious and satirical life of the Instagram famous and the frequent club-goers, The Bitter Pill Social Club is an invite to unlimited gossip and lots of craziness.
The story starts with a young woman getting dumped by her boyfriend who has been diagnosed with AIDS. Although I didn’t find the premise to be that funny but surely Rohan Dahiya’s writing style gives a humorous edge to the whole story. Multiple characters with their sub-plots makes this book a very engaging read. If you are looking for something fun and scandalous to read, then look no further. Rohan Dahiya’s latest is the solution.
I did observe some major issues with the book which I am sure, if perfected, would have made this book an even better read.
The structure of the book was highly confused as if the author couldn’t decide whether to take the hilarious approach or the more insightful one, whether to take a character based story line or a time-based one. By the fifth or sixth chapter, I was taken aback by the complete disappearance of a proper plot line and that really disappointed me. Even the development of the characters felt flawed and amiss and that was a major downside to the story.
Nevertheless it was an enjoyable read and I am sure it helped me recover from the dark mood that I was in having read all the dreary literary fictions the past few weeks.
