Paperback / Hardback

Loving someone is easy. But keeping them forever? That’s tough.

Vikrant Vayu is just another middle-class guy navigating college life in Delhi till one drunken night, when a dare from his friends changes everything. The challenge is to slide into the DMs of Tara Neer, the college’s reigning Instagram queen with an aesthetic feed and a vibe that screams ‘out of league’.

He’s not expecting anything. But Tara, intrigued by his charm and wit, starts chatting with him. What follows is an unexpected friendship that grows into something real. From cozy campus walks to viral couple reels and late-night chai dates, Vikrant and Tara fall in love.

For a while, it feels perfect. So perfect, they decide to get engaged. Families meet. Rings are discussed. Future feels real.

But love in the age of Instagram comes with receipts. And insecurities don’t disappear just because you say, ‘I trust you.’ Enter the red flags, the toxic patterns and online drama. And when those red flags start waving too loud, you’re forced to ask the question no couple wants to answer: Are we fighting for love—or just fighting?

Days With My Red-Flag Girlfriend is a raw, unfiltered story about modern love—the kind that’s messy, real and impossible to forget.
