Description

A coming-of-age story about friendship, love and loss, set in the vibrant metropolitan city of Kuala Lumpur Maya Joseph is a Penang girl who dreams of becoming a writer despite her father's objections. Chong Mei Li is a stylish fashionista who wants to make her mark in the fashion world, although her parents want her to preserve their legacy by taking over the family business in Sabah. Rohan Das, born and raised in Delhi, needs to work hard and secure a good job to support his middle class family. As the first born son, there's a lot of pressure for him to excel and little room for him to explore his own interests. As luck would have it, their paths cross at Maestro University and this unlikely trio soon become good friends. They each have their own dreams and aspirations, but struggle with the burden of family expectations, difficult lecturers and self-doubt. But no matter what happens, they're always there for each other. This story of love, loss and self-discovery reminds us that university life, often bittersweet, carves us into the people we are today. And many of the lessons we gain are learned outside the classroom with our dearest friends.
