I vouch for them through the journey of Bethany Carlson and Gerald Fletcher,” continues the author. If a character can do it, so can my readers.

“The book is a journey of self-realisation and breaking barriers.

“The end of Mirage is what tears you into pieces as an individual,” says Nilakshi Garg, again leaving the reader in suspense of its kind. In this novel, Nilakshi Garg has poured everything from being alone, building a self-brand, not knowing how to care for oneself when no one is there to support you and finding trouble to come to terms when life gives you second chances of happiness. But without doubt, the book is an art in itself which portrays human turmoil from the lady protagonist’s POV. It’s a book that demands the immediate attention of the reader from the first line of the first chapter: “Art is a mask.” It gives a wonderful feeling to the literary critic to know what the book is about and why it starts with Art in the first sentence. Better to say that Mirage is a novel that makes you laugh, cry, weep, and shout. Nilakshi Garg has written this book to venture into the literary world to dramatise her craft and creativity further. Mirage is the story of a Tattoo artist woman named Bethany Carlson who lives alone in Chicago, Illinois. Then be it Mirage, her debut contemporary and adult romance novel, or be it Twenty Eight Plus One, her poetry book that is definitely a page-turner. One such author is Nilakshi Garg, who loves to stir unruly, wicked, and new emotions in her reader. Readers love hauling books which set their emotions in multiple directions – books that leave them hanging in thoughts for days to come.
