Plot:

Life is too busy but it’s also too easy, if you look closer.

Love is too complicated but it’s also too clear, if you feel deeper. 

Sometimes laughter is too difficult but a small smile can give us a lot of happiness.

Today we all are too busy to prove ourselves and to excel. We have no time for love and we hide our emotions and affection.

We always choose our priorities and we will always find time for things that we feel are important and those things which give us happiness. When we love someone, we start to care because love is a priority and not an option in life. 

You also have a right to love, so keep loving, stay happy.

Review:

First of all, I would like to thank the author for sending me this review copy in exchange for an honest review and giving me the opportunity to review his book.

Moving on to the review...

There are a few things that I really loved about the book. I loved what the book is trying to project, the message that the book is trying to give out - the very fact that as much as you have the right to love, the other person has the right to not love you. But that shouldn't stop you from loving, you should keep loving, keep giving love and not beg for it in return.

The book ends with beautiful words that go like - 

"Life is not meant to be easy, its meant to be alive. Sometimes good, sometimes bad.

Love is not meant to be formality, its meant to be relation. Sometimes soft, sometimes rough.

But with every up and down, we learn lesson that make us strong."

Another thing that I liked is that the author has tried to incorporate variety in the personality of characters. And that's where the liking ends and dislikes pop up.

When I read the blurb, I thought the book was promising. But a few pages in and I was already put off - one thing, that I absolutely cannot stand in a book is bad language - a book not well written, or well edited is a big turn off for me. I'm sorry to say, but it's a badly written book.

I kept hoping that it would get better, but the character building wasn't strong. The writing was a drag. And then it turned into a really bad Bolly-wood movie - a love triangle, a villain and all the drama that comes with it, including the festival of Holi. And then it was all goody-good. The bad guy turns out to be good, the father suddenly starts loving the son, the rich mom is okay with her daughter choosing a poor guy - just too goody-good for real life.

Life in reality has tons of grays, yes it isn't all black and white and more white at that. Add some cheesy quotes and messages doing rounds on WhatsApp and Facebook since ages and bang you have your book laid out for you. There was no punch to the story, the plot was bad and it took a lot of effort on my part to finish that book. This one, just wasn't for me.

It sure had good parts (that I already mentioned), but it had more bad than good for me. I just cannot stand a badly written novel. But if you are a sucker for bolly-wood romances and you like happy-goody things, and are not too stuck-up on the writing - just go ahead and grab your copy, while I will go and pick-up something else to read and detox myself.

Having said that, I wish the author success in his future endeavors. I appreciate that more and more people are writing these days, while I just go away and hide in the closet (read : behind my books) and shove my writing skills under the carpet.

Well, what I am trying to say is - Happy Reading!
