My thoughts :
I read "Half Girlfriend" in my college days around 5 years ago. I read it in my college library. It was fun. This book is good for the beginners as it is really simple. The plot is good. You can read it once. After couple of years I saw the movie it was not that good I must say. Though the book was much better. If you are Chetan Bhagat's fan go for it ! The book is predictable and has a happy ending which is the good part of it ! Chetan Bhagat has amazing other books go for those. As I was not quite impressed with this one.

Aza is trying hard to be good enough, but living with her OCD is hard for her and she's not sure if she can live with her oppressive thoughts. How will Aza handle her thoughts and anxiety? Will they find Russel Pickett? Will this affect Aza and Daisy's friendship? My Thoughts:- I've never really been a fan of Green's writing. But I must say that I like Aza's character.
