This is the third and the final part of Gina and Ojas's story. A befitting end to the trilogy, this book was a culmination of sorts - why Ojas acted the way he did, and how he seeks redemption. This is not a standalone book, and you need to read the first two books before you pick up to read this one. Having said that, Varsha has given satisfying answers to the questions we readers had in the first book in this trilogy - Why did Gina end up in Singapore? Why did she have anxiety issues? Will she meet her love and find happiness? The author has also touched upon sensitive issues like PTSD and GAD. We all look up to army men as heros and salute them, but when they rejoin normalcy after retirement/mishaps many of them have difficulties blending in. Many of them do face issues like PTSD that are perhaps left untreated, even undiagnosed. This very valid point was brought out in this book.
As for the friendship and banter between the Wallflowers, I loved that! That's a factor that I always enjoy in Varsha's books, and this one was no exception. I also look forward to reading the next Wallflower's love story :).
The only aspect that I felt could have been better was the length of the book. The story could have been tightened in a couple of places to make it crisper. Otherwise, I thoroughly enjoyed this book and I would definitely read her upcoming ones too!

Ex-factor is the third installment of The Wallflower series. I loved the suspenseful and happy ending to Ojas and Gina's love story after several twists and turns in their love story.

I’m seriously disappointed with the Wallflower series. Having read *Killer Moves* and the *Right Wrong* series (first two books) by this author, my expectations were high, but this series fell short.
First, the story was stretched unnecessarily into three books. This wasn’t needed; it could have followed the pacing of the *Right Wrong* series.
Second, the excessive erotic content felt out of place. I don’t understand why authors often confuse lust with love—descriptions like “he wanted to taste her” or “he wanted to feel her” don't capture the depth of love for me. Love, in my view, is a much deeper concept. Maybe I sound old-school , but it is what it is.
I know erotic content has its readership, but it’s not my preference. I chose the series based on its high ratings, but it turned out to be a disappointment for me. That said, this doesn’t diminish my appreciation for Varsha’s writing overall. I just hope that in future books, including the Wallflower series, we see less unnecessary erotic content.

The plot was beautiful.
The way the story unfolded was good,
The push and pull part of the relationship was getting tiring after a point of time though. The sweet endearments used in the book could have been better. The chemistry explained between Ojas and Gina was very very cringy. It sort of brought the quality of the whole book down.

A perfect ending to the love story of Ojas & Gina. The relation between the wallflowers(Doyal, Meher, Kyra) was so good to read. This book is much better than its prequels. I didn't get bored even for a second.

Poor story
Very poor read and written like an erotic novel. The story has no depth whatsoever. If youbdibt have a story, then don't write.

Too good
Loved every bit of the story. One has to come back again and again for it.
Ojas will make you cry and angry while Gina will inspire hope.

It's been a long journey with Ojas and Gina for me. From Hasty hookup to Miss matched to Ex Factor. I waited patiently for their happily ever after. I would stalk your profile, desperately hoping to catch a glimpse about them. I'm going through a terrible phase with unemployment, no love life and sleepless nights. But reading this soothes me, calms me and gives me hope. That the best is yet to come and the bad phase would go away eventually like it always does in your books. I look forward to read more of the wallflowers. And thank you.
The wait was long but is was worth it. All the best for your future endeavors.

I was eagerly waiting for this n finally it's here. I m in love with the story. I m mesmerized the way each n every bit of it is explained n written. It took me halrdy few hours to finish it as it was so we'll written I couldn't stop myself till I finished reading it.
My favorite character Ojas, I m in love with him, he is such a charmer.
I liked everything from start till end. Wallflower series rocks. All three stories have their unique touch, flavour and impression.
Very well written.

Not worth waiting of one year. Story was dragged. It could be completed in previous book. Hope for next book of Puru and Royal will be in one book only and as likable as all other books of her.
