Relationship Mess

About the Book:

A chronicle of contemporary relationships in Flux

The dynamics of our world are shifting & recalibrating swiftly. Relationships are not immune to these changes, which are punctuated, perhaps most evidently, in the limited sphere of the family unit.

The narrator, a family member, describes the experience of a communication breakdown between two generations, conflicts arising from ego clashes, infidelity, same-sex relationships, infertility & mental health issues that threaten to tear the family apart.

Relationship Mess is a poignant tale of the challenges that can arise and why the idea of the 'ideal' family needs a revisit. It aims to convey that relationships have their own life and that no perfect relationship exists.

Ultimately, it explores the possibilities of cultivating & nurturing relationships within the often restrictive fabric of societal norms and our expectations from those who hold close.

Unique Feature: Author's Note

At the end of every chapter, author's notes provide a third-person perspective & some insights that could be useful for resolving relationship fluctuations.
