 It would be released soon on flipkart. The book is about two friends on the verge of a relationship.
"Once upon a time, Madhav was a Bihari boy. He fell in love with a girl, Riya. Madhav didn't know English well. Riya did. Madhav wanted to be in a relationship. Riya did not. Riya just wanted to be her friend. So she suggested a compromise and agreed to be his half-girlfriend.

Girlfriends and relationships are already a taboo in India, However the modern audience has received all such topics well. Twitterati went crazy over the title and posted some of the hilarious tweets of the day, Here are some picks.

Half girlfriend is okay but which half is the important question.

Dear Flipkart, I'm trying to imagine half girlfriend added to a cart and trust me, the sight is terribly amusing.

I wish I was evolved enough to be indifferent about Chetan's new novels. In the case of "Half-Girlfriend", even the title seems lazy.
