SHE & HERS

What really is the true definition of love? That which we set, or that which our bodies define?

When Yash meets Renu, they quickly move from the physical to the metaphysical plane where Renu’s story is unfolding itself in ways that it begins to shake Yash’s world. And as he starts to question his ideas of manhood, of love, of normalcy, he also helps build another world―a world of love, inhabited and unsullied by men.

From delicate layers of human emotions, the author builds a narrative that shows a mirror to patriarchy and redundant notions of love. He punctures the ideals of male gaze and male superiority and jabs a finger at societal norms and the idea of ‘normal’.

She & Hers is not just a story of queer love, it’s also a multidimensional lens under which each character though flawed, seeks a life of fulfilment and understanding.
