Rupa Publications India Seventeen Takes by Naima Kalra Gupta
Seventeen Takes is a mix of fiction and nonfiction pieces about everything a teenager experiences, ranging from growing up, formulating a selfidentity and realizing (or not) who you are Written by a seventeenyearold, this is a comingofage book but not in a traditional sense It’s not about heartbreak or enduring friendships or alcohol and partying It’s about the self, the war that wages within all of us Figuring out what to do with one’s life, lamenting the loss of innocent childhood, coming to terms with changing beliefs and ideals, developing new ideas are themes that feature prominently in this collection Simple yet poignant, fiercely individualistic yet easily relatable, Seventeen Takes is a book that will resonate with everyone on the cusp of adulthood
