Just Friends: For all those who believe in friendship
Sumrit Shahi's debut novel 'Just Friends' is all about bunking tuitions, group studies, hostel fun, the tension accompanying CBSE boards and the excitement of the first love. The book is light hearted yet intelligent and humorous read.
JUST FRIENDS, Sumrit Shahi's debut novel, at the young age of 17 is your perfect ride to take you back to school days, to those memorable times.
The first thing that attracted me to ‘Just Friends’ was its ‘in the cheek’ and unashamedly honest synopsis. And once I made up the decision to bid farewell to my only Rs 100 note, I can successfully say that it was a brilliant decision. In this around 260 paged novel, Sumrit, the 17 years old, asks a question which every teenager would identify with: "Can a girl and boy just be friends”?
As a teenager, I could easily relate to all the incidents that take place in Aaryan and Tanie's (main character's) lives. Bunking tuitions, group studies, hostel fun, the tension accompanying CBSE boards and the excitement of the first love.
This book is also special because it is set in a school, rather than IIT-college, as we have been reading all the time in many books. I recommend it to everybody, who wants to enjoy a light hearted yet intelligent and humorous read.

The book also speaks about various issues faced by students in a school, at the hostel, during the tuition classes and on the playground. It speaks about the sensibilities of young kids, who are exposed to modern influences and how they cope with the same.
It also tells how students are able to manage their lives and how a school plays an important part in the lives of young kids, who are getting ready for the next phase of their lives.
