My Review
Stories are never set against a preset format. Nevertheless we all expect a storyline to be designed in a particular manner. No time to pause breaks the conventional style of designing a storyline. The story is an anecdote of the college life of the protagonist. Other than the daily happenings, there aren’t much of a story format.
For those who spent their college life in hostels, the book will surely evoke nostalgia. The homesickness, meeting new friends, having fun with them, dealing with possessiveness, misunderstandings, last minute assignment submissions all are instances that everyone has faced at least once it their life.
Sincerity is the core quality of the story. Aditi’s love story is well portrayed with right amount of suspense. A little more homework would have taken the book to another level.
Readers should not approach the book to find a typical clinched story format. Read this as an easy breezy teen story.
complimentary copy in exchange for a honest review. I was not required to write
