Will she decipher the true meaning of love?



About the author
With his two earlier two titles Flight of the Hilsa and Chapter 11, he has already captured a million minds and hearts. His writing questions the norms, seeks and exp,ores some discomforting answers. If not a writer, he would have been musician.He loves his space and coffee.

Me thinks

A love child, a confused teenager, a successful model, a die hard lover, a child woman, a dreamer, a naughty nut and many more such things rolled into one makes Moon  the main protagonist of the story. The story is about Moon's journey from being confused to finding herself. Its about her finding love and learning there are so many beautiful facets to it apart from the one that we usually attach to have existed between boys and girls.

The narration is nicely done making it a quick and light read making it breezy. I enjoyed some of the scenes particularly where a teenager's confusion has been brought out very nicely. The author's language is also lucid and very easy to understand. Extra marital affairs, teem preganancy,domestic violence, love, friendship, live-in relationships - there is every aspect of life that has been covered in this book and that is what perhaps makes it more engrossing read.

The most beautiful aspect about this book was the way the author highlights the relationship between Moon and her mother. The delicacy with which he has dealth with such a delicate issue is truly commendable.

Though I admire the writing style which was good, I sometimes wonder what will a teenager think after reading this book?

Introduction   ISBN: 978-8-184-00031-3   Genre Fiction Price: Rs. 125/- ( I got this book from the publishers for review) Pages:285 pages   Publishers: Random House Publishers " We are all a little weird and life is a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love .” - Dr. Seuss . The moment I read this quote I had fallen in love with. Well, yes I would call it love and weird is how I would like to describe my feelings for this book as. I wonder if this quote describes true love to the perfection. For that matter I wonder if something like perfect true love exists in this world.

His book ‘ How about a sin tonight ” has left me in a daze as I contemplate various things like love, relationships, dreams, aspirations, desires and life at large.
