If he does, would she be willing to have him back in her life? And the final question: would he mom, the deadly villain of the story, be willing to give Kanav's story a happy ending?

'She's is single I'm taken and we're committed...' By Harsh Snehanshu
I read this book as a part of the April #TSBCChallenge and it is the single most idiotic book I've ever read! After reading this book, I have newfound respect for Chetan Bhagat! Mr. Snehanshu in the attempt of making his book interesting and funny, has been completely derogatory to women. The book starts with two letters which I feel are the only pages worth reading. After describing his failed dates with 5 girls, suddenly a french girl comes into the picture and starts shedding her clothes only after 5 mins of knowing the protagonist Kanav because come on thats what all french girls do!
After that he unites with his ex in a truly bollywood way. When he returns after his summer break, he finds out that his friend has died because he used to smoke a lot. After that the story which makes no sense drags on for a few pages and finishes off in a dramatic way with his gf's mom agreeing to their marriage!
I would not recommend this book to anyone ever! It felt like I was reading a really bad movie script!

A NOVEL WITHOUT A STORY, A STORY WITHOUT A SENSE...

One of the worst novels I read. It begins with a touchy letter(The only good written page of this novel), the protagonist and his gf have broken up and the story(I am afraid there wasn't any) continues. Protagonist encounters various sex/relationship hook ups and the boredom story of five or more girls he wanted to date, goes on for 100 pages, then his hostel friend suddenly comes into the story only to die of a lung cancer due to chain smoking, it ends after twenty pages. The protagonist, a novelist, flies to US and meets his gf, hooks up back, another 30 pages. And another 30 pages, his gf's mom agrees their marriage. My gentle request, don't buy or read this waste book, for if you have read this review you have already read the book. I am sorry to the author for a such an assail, but I wish with his good grammatical and writing dedication he doesn't dare to cheat readers, believing they will read anything he writes and he can name his book as a best seller by himself and claim it on his C.V as an achievement... One of the books I regret that I wasted my time. The only thing I appreciate is the catchy title, that deceived me.

[Aditya Chauhan · Rating 3 out of 5]

I haven't read the first two parts of this trilogy, yet. I found book intresting, not very much though. Plot is not so much engaging and so is the language.
