Yet another love story! I exclaim as I begin
reading this book. The points which attracted me to this book were Blackberry
plays cupid here (Now this is interesting!!) the cover page is too beautiful
and mushy. I love love stories and of course in today’s times when face book
plays a huge role in creating love stories “It started with a friend request”
definitely sounded alluring.

Me thinks
Off late the market has been flooded with
young Indian authors churning out bestsellers after bestsellers. To be honest
this is my first read by this author though he has written two books before
this which are best sellers.
When this book was in the review list my
first thought was to add it to my list as the other books I had selected were
kind of a heavy read and I needed a light read to balance it off somewhere. And
I was not disappointed. This is a nicely written light read which leaves you
with a pleasant feeling after you have completed reading it.
The story is about Akash and Aleesha, two
youngsters who meet in a discotheque and experience love at first sight. Major
portion of the book is about their love story, how it progresses, the proposal,
the first kiss, the first fight, the making up etc etc.
The story is about Aleesha and Kritika – Soul
sisters cum best friends cum roommates
The story is about Akash and Aditya – Best
friends till death do us apart.
The story is also about Tamanna and Deep –
with the former being the latter’s boss. Alternate chapters have portions where
Tamanna’s one sided love for Deep touches you deeply.
The story is about one night – one incident –
that changes the lives of all these people along with their loved ones.
As the story progresses you witness Akash’s
love, Aleesha’s immature nature, Tamanna’s obsession and Deep’s practicality.
You experience the other things that come along with love like hatred, jealousy,
insecurity, hurt, anger, passion, joy and loads of other similar things.
I loved the poems which Tamanna had written
for Deep for they were too deep and profound. They show how deeply she felt for
him which finally turned into an obsession for her. I also admired the way
Akash dealt with his relationship issues with Aleesha.
The author has managed to create a very good
romantic ambience in terms of the description and the language of the book. The
flow of the story is very smooth and at places I was smiling reading the
romantic lines. Having been working in the corporate world I could relate to
the turmoil mentioned by both Tamanna and Deep, for it is what really happens
in today’s times. I enjoyed the characters a lot as they seemed to be so relatable.
They could easily be any one of today’s youth.
At some places I found the love making scenes
out of context. I mean that scene could have done the same or perhaps better
without it. Over all a decent read, recommended for people who enjoy light
reads and prefer romance as a genre.
Foodie Verdict
