Love Happens Like That

by Ritwik Malik

“. . .because love @ 15 can be a dangerous idea!” Meet Ritesh Garg the attention crazy, fun loving, flirtatious and ever talkative fifteen year old. And meet Ritesh's love interest, Arushi gentle, calm, sober and a conservative fourteen year old. What happens when such extremities in characteristics collide? An explosive reaction? Just like Potassium bromide, Ritesh and Arushi were destined to meet and fall in love at such a precarious age. Maybe it was their childhood? When Ritesh grew up watching the heroes of the 90s falling in love, Arushi saw Ramayana and Mahabharata with great interest. Or maybe it was just the way things turn out to be. . .total chaos!! From dumb friends to volatile reactions in the chemistry lab, Ritesh Garg had to 'fight' em all to get what he wanted to achieve. . ..his angel, his miracle. As hormonal changes occur every day, their idea of true love takes a beating. What will it take Ritesh to grow into a man from the adolescent he is. . .? Who knows. . .because Love Happen Like That!

Mr. Mallick clearly has a long way to go. Immaturity clearly pokes its head and besides teenage, there's a lot more topic to write on. Writing is not just about knitting stories. It is about showing respect to the language, which this book clearly lacks. Also, I find it to be stretched a lot.

The sequel is much better.

A typical school life story that drowns you with nostalgia. If you are looking for a light love story, you can read this one. A light hearted read.

The ratings for this book is ridiculously low. I wouldn't have written a review if not for this low rating. I remember recommending it to my best friend who refused to read it based on the GR ratings alone. I was real furious with him. Seriously people, it's not that bad! And I mean it.

Even though I read it years ago (co-incidentally when I myself was in 9th standard) I can still recall all the plot points and events, as well as the names of most of the characters.
LHLT was a light and easy read with no real issues or goals but I still liked it. There was an air innocence and purity around our main leads that really touched me. Pre-teens and early-teens would definitely like it, though it might bore the older audience.
