Prodded by Natasha, Siya makes the daring decision to shed her inhibitions and put herself out there in the fiercely competitive dating market. And who better than Natasha, the 'bad girl' herself, to guide her through the glamorous, hidden world of the singles of Mumbai? Natasha, too, is on a quest of her own, she wants to find a man who will look beyond the merely physical and value her for her true worth. And even as she finds true love in the unlikeliest of men, she begins to find her self-worth anew. In the charged roller-coaster ride Siya and Natasha undertake, their deepening friendship will change them in ways they never expected. Games Girls Play astutely captures what it means to be a single woman in the big bad city, making for a racy and wickedly charming story of love and friendship.
