My review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐/5
My thoughts on the book:
Four friends, twenty years, and one haunting secret. 'That Night' is the debut novel by author Nidhi Upadhaya. The story revolves around four best friends Nathasha, Anjali, Katherine, and Riya who commit a terrible mistake involving a bottle of whisky and a game of Ouija, which ends with the death of Sania, their unlikeable hostel mate. The friends made a pact to never talk about that fateful night, and this pact has kept their friendship and guilt dormant for the last twenty years.
They move on with their life however, someone has now started to meddle with them, threatening to reveal the truth that only Sania knew. Is it a hacker playing on their guilt, or has Sania's ghost returned to avenge her death?
The story is narrated from five different POVs. The author's description of the characters, their hostel days, and their current life gives us a clear visualization. The plot is spanned across different countries from London, New York, Singapore, and Mumbai. The haunted places in Singapore mentioned by the author and their backstory transports us there.
The novel is very well written and has a rapid pace that makes you pause and wonder at every chapter. Many subplots will keep you on edge. I love how the author has written multiple POVs with such ease. I've finished reading this book in a day and the thrills, chills, plot twists, and climax left me speechless.
This is a tale of friendship, love, betrayal, and revenge. The book is a thrilling page-turner with a pinch of paranormal. From this book, we can learn that no matter how small and silly mistakes we make they will change everything and sometimes have bigger consequences to face.
What exactly happened that night that made inseparable friends drift apart from each other? What are they hiding? Who is after them? To know these dive into the book!
