My Review
My Review
There has always been high demand for YA Romance in India. If we check the top ten best sellers, at least five of them will be romance, that too teen romance. So, is there a formula for bestselling romance? If there us is one, this book has definitely applied it. Is the story a puppy romance? Yes. Is it unrealistic? No. Is it filmy? To an extend.
Thankfully the protagonists are matured, settled people instead of the regular formula of teens, dodging their studies. Another welcoming fact is that boozing, getting stoned and such paraphernalia are not given much importance. Films or not, while falling in love, many tend to get filmy to impress their partner. That way, Sai- protagonist’s attitude and actions are justifiable.
The story lacked depth. It’s an easy breezy book with vernacular narration. Narrative style could have been switched to third person since the protagonist bragging about oneself saying ‘I looked like a super cool dude and my friend looked like he just jumped out of bed’ sounded narcissistic. While the blurb is compelling, the cover page could have been better. For a debutante, authoress has done a decent job.
I recommend the book to the mass of readers who like uncomplicated love stories which could be finished in a day
