(I got this book from the publisher
requesting for a review)
Given the die-hard romantic person that I am,
grabbing this book was the most obvious choice. I fell in love with the cover
page and the name Hiccups made me more curious as to why would an author name a
book like this while actually it was a love story – with a difference.

“You came into my life and changed everything…forever.
Before you walked into my life, all I did was survive… you made me rediscover
what it means to be alive.”
About the author
Unfortunately today the author is no more,
but you can know more about his amazing strength and love for life HERE
Me thinks
Love according to me is perhaps one of the
most beautiful things in this world and it can make or mar a person. Hiccups by Harsh Pande, though cliché and
Bollywood-ish is a book I enjoyed reading purely because he spoke in this
beautiful language of love.
It made me cry, laugh, feel mushy, blush and
also feel happy at the end just like a typical Bollywood movie it had it all.
The narration of the st.ory is very smooth and it brings alive all the emotions.
It begins with a hospital scene where the male protagonist’s mother is battling
coma. The scene changes where he wins quiz competitions to gather money for
both his education and her treatment. He meets a girl who falls for him and stands
by him as he makes his way through all the troubles that are surrounding him.
It’s about love, life, relationships, parents, friendship, college, career and
a lot many things in life.
The first half of the book is really gripping
as the author has made an excellent attempt at highlighting the quiz contests making
it a gripping read. I really loved the poems and the romantic proposals that
the author has written in this book. They are simply beautiful.
The only negative I found in this book was
the main protagonists have no names. They are simply referred to as “he” and
“she”. Maybe the author should have given them some names, makes it easy to
connect for the readers. Or maybe he did it intentionally as he wanted to say
it could be anyone’s story! But the character sketch of both of them is so
strong that you automatically visualize them and you hardly notice that they
are name-less.
Overall a sweet, cute, mushy, romantic book
recommended as a light read for people like me who love love stories!
