She comes out to her mother at 22 and leaves her Bombay home to make her own way. In a dingy, insect-ridden but rent-free hostel room in Hyderabad with a door that doesn't quite close, she makes the best of the situation by writing a book about her experiences. As she writes, the past catches up with her as she explores her dyslexia, homosexuality and the clitoris; falling in love and recovering from a harrowing breakup; academic failure, loneliness and homophobia; and living with sickness, anxiety, depression, and her caste, gender and body. This is the story of Vaishali's relationship with her many truths and the truths of many young people in India."}
