Stuck Friendship in Conspiracy by Swamini Chopra Salame – It’s a surprise for me, how I could actually read the second part of a fantasy series without thinking about DNFing it. Stuck Friendship in Conspiracy is an intriguing read that revolves around Tia Tondon’s transformation to Telsea and how she almost loses everything, but still, near the end, things start to get better… but do they really get better?
Blurb:

Review:
To be honest, when I finished the first book, The Incomplete Journey of Three Women, I totally expected a full blown part of plot twist. But what I just read in this book is not even close to what I could have even thought. Right in the middle of the night, suddenly, I am trying to solve the family chart and thinking who is whose father and who is the real prince or princess or who is actually a good person. It was mind-boggling for real. I don’t want to drop the spoiler and I am unable to tell how to tell you about the book without dropping out the spoiler ToT.
Oh one of my favourite scenes was when Tia used to drag Troy with her, it was indeed funny like whenever she needs someone with her or is in dire need of help, she’d drag him with her. I even asked the author why does she keep dragging him like a pet. 🤣 Not that I’m complaining but coz it was utterly funny to see that XD.
Then there’s Kaazi…. The guy who started of as a mysterious person. My toxic trait is that I actually found him fine when he was introduced. But at the end, he was a male species only. ~-~ Disappointed me to the core.
Oh, mentioning disappointment made me remember, Kamini… the one person who wouldn’t be a betrayer. Kamini being Tia’s best friend from childhood was supposed to trust her, make her feel like heard atleast but you see there’s a hindi saying “akal pe pathhar padd jana.” She’s the epitome of this phrase 🙂
Anyway, I’m so excited about the book 3, which is about to come very soon and hopefully it will have my fav girl in it… Tale ToT
I missed her like crazy, her smartness, selflessness, capability of giving love…. I adore it to the core. <3 I missed her throughout the book and thought atleast someone will enter saying “Tale is back.” But no, the author be like, you gotta wait. Let’s see how things unfold in book 3. I personally am very much excited.
If you haven’t read the book yet, YOU MUST!!!! Definitely the most intriguing read of 2026.
Stay tuned for more updates. <3
