Book Summary
Five Point Someone is a coming-of-age novel set in the prestigious Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi, following the lives of three friends—Hari, Ryan, and Alok—who struggle to keep up with the intense academic pressure. The title refers to their low grade point average (GPA) of five points, which puts them at the bottom of their class. The story explores their friendship, mischief, love interests, and the challenges of balancing personal dreams with rigid academic expectations. Through humor and heartfelt moments, Bhagat critiques the Indian education system’s emphasis on rote learning and highlights the importance of creativity, individuality, and pursuing passion. The novel is both a social commentary and an entertaining tale of youth, rebellion, and self-discovery.
