' Lily ' by Sukanya Basu Mallik is a short book that explores the power of trust, forgiveness, healing, and friendship. Set against the vibrant backdrop of the Mumbai city, the story skilfully captures Lily's journey. Her unexpected companionship with a cactus named Spike, and the unspoken strength and support found in genuine friendships adds a unique layer to the story. Crafted in rich language, I was truly amazed by the pace and progress of the storyline. A quick read with an interesting storyline, this story delves deeper into the intricacies of true relationships and forgiveness. I'd recommend this for those who'd choose a light read on Heartbreak, Healing and Friendship.
