Maniissh Aroraa's "Sunshine Town" is a novel which comes like a breath of fresh air in a time when everything is driven by smart technology. The fact of the novel being set in the 90s before the technological revolution invites the interest of the reader to open the book as the title hides all that the book contains. The story of the strong and well dev character of Shlok is what forms the central narrative of the book. All that a teenager belonging to a middle-class family goes through and faces, his desires and aspirations form the crux of the well written book.
For the teenager of today, life before smart technology would be a myth. This book becomes a treasure for all of those young folk. At the same time, the book is also a treasure for those who have lived through that era and have grown up through that. Above that, all teenagers have to make tough choices when it comes to career, love and personal life. The protagonist also has to grow through the same. These are the facts that make him closer to life and strongly realistic.
