My Review:
When it comes to fiction genre “Romance” plays a vital role and always a best bet for readers, having known this fact author has kept the story mood with romance centric but with a stronger messages, I am not wrong if I call this as matured writing, you would find yourself throughout the book.
As everyone in their love journey must undergo/undergoing life quirks like first love, be in one’s world, care and affection, crush, emotional trauma, short fights, overnight conversations, fear of losing, public romance (ahem .. ahem) and ultimately destiny (losing). Kudos to Shweta Shah through Ajeet and Sumi quite successful in her plot to cover all life stages with a romantic touch. Most of the phrases I can annotate my good old days of school, graduation.
I would say Shweta emotionally touched readers by narrating the pain what Ajeet undergone and beyond the expectation the story was not a happy ending, however special appreciations to the narration grip and simple vocabulary throughout in maintaining suspense till the end.
