Mehwish Mahek answers “Ok, can somebody please tell me how a book...”

A Goodreads user asked this question about Forbidden:

Ok, can somebody please tell me how a book on incest romance has such good ratings? I'm not judging, I REALLY REALLY wanna know! Even if you have to answer by inbox and spoil the hell out of it, please, explain it to me! I need to know before I read it! :S

Lochan does not talk to much to people outside his family. Maya is the only one who understands him and they have been more like friends than brother and sister since they are only thirteen months apart. While reading this book you can actually see why they develop feelings for one another even though they know what will be the consequences. They know that they would be sent to prison and know that the children will be taken away from them and put to foster care. They try really hard not to fall in love but despite all their tries, they fail.
I surely recommend you to pick this book up and read it with an open mind in order to enjoy it.(less)
