My Take:

The book belongs to the category of happily ever afters. There’s love, friendship, hatred, hurt, all mixed together in right proportion just the way our lives have it. The story is simple as it goes on the show the importance of friends and love in our lives. It perfectly seems to be a slice of a Bollywood movie.

The characters of Sneha, Nikhil,Nandini and Aditya are very much real and depict all the emotions a human is capable of. You can see the play of human ego ruining things and then love conquering it all. But Sneha can be seen to be doing a little more than what you think is real. Advey holds importance but has hardly any role to play and is often not seen in the importance scenes.

The story however is pretty much predictable and offers nothing new. You already know what’s supposed to happen. So, you just read along as the life of Sneha and Nikhil unfolds. It becomes quite too much dramatic at times and the story also feels stretched with unnecessary events added in between. Narration is the strongest point of the book along with quality of language. The thing that can hold you back is the chemistry between Nikhil and Sneha, their little fights and extreme love at the same time. The bond of friendship shared by Sneha and Nandini will warm your heart and touch your soul. You will surely see a part of yourself and your friendships in the story.

Bottom-Line: A book full of love, friendship and drama.

My Rating:

3/5
