I guess I'm not that fun after all, the fun that the reviews of this book promised to me did not seem to appear at all before my eyes. In a very Sex and the City reminiscent tone lies the story of four individuals. Natasha, Saira, Faiza and Rubani finally embark on that much cancelled trip to Goa. Life has posed many questions to these girls and the trip turns out to anything but a relaxing visit to the beach.

Casual storytelling about life experiences unravel secrets, but it is anything but an environment of acceptance among the friendships between the four girls. From popping up occasionally, the attitude of the characters is borderline annoying and as the story progresses there is little to no believable growth in character. More often than being adorable, these women come off as a blended persona of a child who refuses to grow up and a very begrudging individual. There's unlikeable characters and then there's characters that you find plain tiresome.

The blurb promises at least a hint of a romance, but sadly it is replaced with unending hookup stories and ideas of sexual autonomy that is rather misplaced. The writing is rather too magazine-ish for my taste and the narrative lacks any kind of encouragement to turn the pages. At one point, it got rather unbearable and I had to drag myself harder.

The one thing I liked was the bisexual representation and the common ideas of confusing bisexuality with sexual promiscuity. Society has always been judgemental of bisexuality and the subtle acknowledgement of that ill practice was well executed.

But sadly, for a book that supposedly pledged to be a joyful experience- turned out to be a fest of unnecessary drama. It reminded me of the prime show Four More Shots Please, which too hopped on to recreate Sex and the City, but lacked the power to hold on to the viewers. One Night Only promises to be zany, but personally it doesn't hold up enough for me to recommend it to others.
