The book is a coming-of-age story that revolves around the protagonist's journey of falling in love and expressing his feelings to the girl he admires.

The boy's dilemma about expressing his feelings is something that many people have experienced, especially during their teenage years. The author has also beautifully described the setting of the story, making the reader feel as if they are walking beside the protagonist on the deserted road in Shimla.

The book is well-paced and keeps the reader engaged throughout. The author has added a touch of humor through the protagonist's two loser friends, who are always taunting him.
