You dint like JKP?? I really liked the first part. 2nd wasnt that gripping.
And you're right about Nemrah pens down her men too good.. Badar was a well etched out character. I was somewhat disappointed at Zahra's character. Much more could have done with her character. Her character came out really strong in the beginning. But later on, she became a typical third angle of a triangle. :/
I have read about Namal, but i will read it once it will come out in book form.

yes Farhat's writings and her stories are over-simplified and are good o read once you are in those high moods otherwise they sound far from reality. Plus he one's i have read are all about the high class, she never writes about the middle ones or the poor ones plus of course she is almost always high on romance.
I really detest characters who have nothing in life but a branded attire and party/ gathering on their minds.

I have heard about it too but is it going to go on forever.
Do you read other Pakistani writers...writers like Mohsin Hamid and Kamila Shamsia?

I really enjoyed the first half of JKP but then it started veering into some sort of western thriller area and then I gave up on it. When it was revealed that one guy was acting as all these different people (i have forgotten names 😆) and he had kept tabs on her all throughout, I went all, "nopes! not my cup of tea!" and slammed it shut..

Badar is one of my few Urdu novel crushes! I really loved these layers which each character had plus the mystery was of the ghost of graveyard was very gripping. Special kudos to the end of the novel!
