Speaking about her new release, Bose shared, “The title, I’ve Had Enough of You, came to me during an unforgettable 10 days locked in with my husband–it stuck, and I knew it had to stay. These stories reflect that raw honesty, and I hope they resonate with readers as deeply as my first book did. I’m immensely grateful to my publishers, Virasat, and especially to Chaity Ghosh and Subhojit Roy for their unwavering support.”
