A Half Baked Love Story
Have you ever: Been a prey to love at first sight? Proposed your girl after boozing and fainted before knowing her answer? Went to your first date with an empty wallet? Got caught kissing your girl by none other than her father? Risked your IIT exam 'to meet her for the last time'?
Well, if this excites you enough, here is an enchanting read for you all, A Half-Baked Love Story!
The book unfolds a candid narration by a love struck, dumb struck and spellbound guy, Aarav, who confesses every last detail of his love story to his drunkard friends on a new year night. The tale of his first love Anamika. This story is a feel good love story of these two very different characters as they understand the Pangs and Pleasures of first love while battling with the situations that life has placed them in. The book takes a dig at our so called 'modern society' and peer pressure in one's life.
Just when life seems perfect, Love chooses its own routes. From the first glimpse to the last letter! What happens finally?
About the Author
Gunjan Narang an aspiring educationist, polishing her mind and teaching skills at Miranda House. Assuming that she was never born to be a teacher, fell in love with the profession, and faced a similar accident in case of writing. Writing, to her, is a means of influencing masses. A sudden encounter with a friend brought her into realization of a hidden spark in her and here she is, with her first recognized work.
Optimism and perseverance are the essence of her life. Sensitized towards various social issues, she plans to write about them in near future. Rational and skeptic in approach, she believes not only in dreaming but also in accomplishing those dreams. Honest in expression and rebellious at heart.

After being an unknown pass-out from St Xavier's school and having tried a hand at journalism, he finally found his forte in writing. Simple living and plenty eating is his funda in life.
Random thoughts, eligible to be put together in the form of a storyline dragged him to his destiny. Young for his thoughts, he loses himself to them and lives in his fly-by-night imaginations. A little shy to girls, he is a family guy, who believes in learning from every experience. Photography being his field of interest, he also finds himself close to the nature. A keen follower of spirituality and Humanism!

A HALF BAKED LOVE STORY....it baked my brain at first but story turned little interesting when arav(hero of story)starts narrating his past love story which was his true and first love.
This story clearly pictures us the way how arav who was shy,caring,decent boy who had fell in love with a girl anamika in his secondary high school turned into man who lost his true love and became so desparate that he started loving every girl he met and ended his relation every time.
I think some part of the story is unrealistic.Aravs parents doesnt complain of him even when they came to know about his first kiss,his love and even when he left JEE to meet his love.Even though it is a bit slow,unrealistic sometimes ,it is surely a page turner and can be read in one sitting.(less)

Even one star to this book seems exaggeration. I don't know why, but I couldn't bring myself to read this book beyond twenty pages. Yeah, just from a twenty pages read I am in no condition to judge a book properly. But believe me this book is gross. It opens with one of those hot, steaming scenes which ends up in a low level cheap drama and break-up scene. I don't know why the author chose to open the book which this scene but I have realized that over the time it has become Indian mindset that a book or a movie must contain a steaming scene to draw people's attention, which disgusts me. I mean we read books and watch movies for more sensible reasons and personally I believe that a good story must have some food for mind and characters over whom you can spend hours thinking about. Some hot-shot scene and a few brainless characters are really not enough to draw attention.
My words may seem a little harsh, but this is what I actually think about this book. And people there are many more good books out there, go for it. I won't recommend this book to anyone. It's just a waste of time.

Well, if someone asks me did you like this? I would have to say then I am not that much romantic and emotional person. So, I couldn't. Such things happen only in movies or novels. And I like much of realistic novels in which there's a hero like Nawajuddin Siddiqui or Irfan Khan or Nana Patekar. You must be laughing.😂
It was a fast read. And yes, I read it full. It really consumed my day. But it could be better and more realistic.

I ordered 'A Hitchhiker's Guide to Galaxy' and was keenly looking for it but found this book in my package instead. I took briefly two minutes to explain myself that people can make such mistakes and quickly applied for refund. Now in total two big mistakes had happened. Firstly by the store people who sent me this book and secondly by myself and the latter one demanded penance.
Pick-up day was following two days later so in mean time I thought of reading this book which destiny herself chose for me. It was my first Anurag Garg book and before this I didn't know he existed nor I wanted after reading his book. I won't talk about the book as I forgotten most of its things. I am writing this review, (I don't know it would be called a review or something as I just told two mistakes of that one particular day of my life from 18 something months ago) after a long time of reading and even confused while giving the rating so I think better not give, but will certainly be in range of 1.2 - 2

My last read of the worst year - thankfully a good one!
February 14, 2021
A very cheesy love story, but the plot was interesting.
March 24, 2017
narration: quite simple and straight forward whether I doubt a reader who claims to read the book of high literature would dare to throw it aside....
plot: to be so honest, it is utmost common plot..... where an international book reader is supposed to call it ridiculous....
characters: presumably most common teens with their hormones raised so high.... this book is surely a cause of frustration for those who dwell upon the characters created by William Shakespeare....
> of course there is no great plot but can be responsible to keep the reader hold till the very end.... I dare not say there will be tears in your eyes by the end you finish reading it.
> the moments in the books are quite natural but I bet my guts no author would have approached the life as he has been...
> every page of this book has its own prominence and at times my heartbeat comes to count while reading this book.. such an awesome book it is.
> I rarely found the comments where the reviews are quite hopeful.... is it that my choice and perception is so worst that I am praising the book which does not deserve a one... no, not at all...
> whatever may the reviews be.... I never hesitate to suggest it to the others who are the readers of romance genre....

If you are looking for an honest critic review, before referring the book.
Here's my Honest, First and Non Spoiler Book Review.
In fact, this is the first novel that I read in lifetime.
Book Review:
It is narrated through the first person, protagonist Aarav Sharma point of view. The writing style is simple yet capitive. Characters are well developed. Few one liners can induce goosebumps.
At present, the protagonist is described as a flirt,drunkard, useless child of his family. On the New Year's Eve, he narrates his first love to his friends.
On his higher secondary last year, he meets her, Anamika Roy, a typical Bengali girl, whereas he is a Brahmin Boy. Same problem, caste, heartbreak, life after love.
It is a chill hearted love story that takes you back to your school days, I suppose. Few scenes seem unrealistic, but still it feels good as it is a work of fiction.
I could have easily given 5 stars, but there is a dreamy part towards the end of the story, which made me sob. But, it turned out to be a dream and I'm fooled 😵😵😵...
So, my Rating for this Half Baked Love Story is: 4.75!!!
Pick it up, if you looking for a light read yet with a strong impact!!!

Full Book Review
2.5 on 5
This is one of the overhyped books. The only thing that could connect to me in it was the story of Aarav and Anamika. Even though it was the major chunk of the book, it could not justify anything at the end. When you analyze everything after reading the last page, you can't find anything substantial in the book overall. I really wish that the writers would have removed the poorly written first section and began it right from the 'Half Baked Love Story'.
Overall, not bad and not quite good, an average light read to be precise.

Personally, I am shocked by so many positive reviews in Amazon and Goodreads for this book. It was a quick read for me but not impressed at all. Let me be honest!!! This is not a book that everyone would love. But, if you believe in unrealistic stories and don’t go by logic and hard judgments, then you might like this book. It is a quick read but could have been improved much in terms of plot, characterization, and writing style.

The legends say “Love can change everything”, and yes it can. When you fall head over heels for someone, you long for them to appear magically from thin air no matter where you are. You catch yourself smiling in the absence of them. You feel like you can climb any mountain if they ask you to. You are just attracted to them, their presence, and you don’t pretend when you’re with them. It is the same thing that happened to Arav when he fell in love with Anamika.
#lovesomeone #lovebooks_01 #romancegenres
Some books always leave an everlasting impact, “A half-baked love story” is one such book. It starts with introducing Arav, the male protagonist as a spoiled brat, who doesn't know what “love” is and only uses girls to satisfy himself.
(But yes o yes, love will do its magic)
Arav met Anamika when he transferred schools, and immediately felt something for her. Arav lost himself and felt something “out of the ordinary” when Anamika touched him for the first time. Anamika was the prefect in their school, and yes, she was the “sweet” topper girl that you all expected her to be.
Anurag & Gunjan did a very good job explaining their teen love, those lovey-dovey moments you wish you could live in forever. The book makes you fall in love with the characters and takes you back to your memory lane when you were a teen, and you fell for someone for the very first time.
The story takes a turn when the typical Indian “society” comes into play. Their love story faces a backlash when Anamika’s father sees them having some moments. One thing led to another, and their life was turned upside down. In India, it is so common for couples to break up after they graduate from high school due to peer pressure. This book absolutely does a great job of highlighting the scenario in India.
The ending will leave you in pieces. This book absolutely justifies the title.

Let me start by saying this, this book is like a typical bollywood romantic saga. Love at first sight, a whirlwind of romance, cast issue, a strict father like Simran's bapu ji, family friend waiting like a hawk to get married, separation and then acting out as Kabir Singh, Friends like Farhan/Raju and whatnot. It's like watching a cheesy love story with a blended version of every typical and popular tropes of Bollywood.
Nevertheless it's so enjoyable. I finished reading it in one sitting. I may come across as a nagging old hag who cusses everything and everyone in the upper paragraph, on the contrary I enjoy this type of stories. I've said before Chetan Bhagat is my guilty pleasure, and this book has the similar writing style as his. So for me it's a hit.
Teenage love is always filled with madness and a sense of purity. People's first experience of love while still being so naive, innocent and so unaware of this cruel world's real face. It's like the purest form of love until they've grown old, matured and their heart has turned into stone. I never had the opportunity to experience teenage romance. So, I always gush and blush whenever I read/watch/listen to stories like that.
A half baked love story, drives us through the ups and downs of a beautiful relationship of Aarav and Anamika. Their love, and their falling out. I felt butterflies just by reading their interactions. It was so cute and charming also heartbreaking. The book it's self is a quick and fun read which will also make you sad. The perfect blend of the best of both world's. Even though it has 200 pages, you won't get tired of it.

Wow, what a brutally honest take on love stories, especially in the context of India, or honestly, anywhere else in the world. The sheer honesty and rawness in the story hit so hard. I read half of it, and somewhere in the back of my mind, I started thinking, “Wait, what if Anamika dies?” Guess what? Teenage me had already stumbled across that spoiler somewhere, and back then, I cried for Anamika and Aarav. My god, it wrecked me.
That heartbreak was so intense, I actually stopped reading novels for a while. It felt like my teenage self couldn’t take it anymore. Looking back, it’s incredible how much our teenage years shape the way we approach life. This novel, in particular, holds so much wisdom about love and loss. But the takeaway? That’s entirely up to us. Some of us might want to bury those teenage heartbreaks deep inside, while others might confront and own up to them.
Ending on a hopeful note: never let love drive you to the edge where you lose yourself. It’s easy to let it consume you and lead to crazy decisions, but remember, we’re stronger than that. For me, though, this novel officially triggered my reader’s block for years. Maybe that’s why I now turn to reels for motivation—it’s simpler, quicker, and less likely to break my heart. Sad endings? Yeah, I just don’t handle those well anymore.

I think that the love story of the characters aarav and anamika starts and ends abruptly. Too much of a drag at the end. Almost every book by Indian author has some or an other letter which is some sort of a love letter or something to fill up pages. The dream that aarav gets at the end was uncalled for. Dibakar and Kishnendu are rightly shown as soul less people. Overall as the name suggests, the love was baked only on aaravs side and raw the other side. Ok for a read if you plan to finish the book in a day or two or on a 2 to 3 hour flight.

March 8, 2023I'm currently reading this book out of curiosity.
So far, the book requires a lot of editing. Sentences breaking at uneven places, lack of proper punctuations, fancy words are used for the sake of using fancy words so that the writing could look "sophisticated". The author has a vision but the execution falls flat. All these just breaks the flow of reading which an editor could only fix. I was surprised that a reputed publishing company like Penguin House could let this pass under their radar.

This book centers around Aarav, a complex character who initially holds unrealistic beliefs about love. However, as the narrative unfolds, we learn about his past as a devoted partner and friend. Through the ups and downs of his love life, Aarav undergoes a transformation, shaping him into who he is today. Set against the backdrop of the vibrant streets of Delhi, the story is both thrilling and engaging. Your enthusiastic recommendation and 5-star rating highlight its appeal to fans of love fiction.
July 13, 2020
The ending of this book saved the book. If Aaraav would have got back with Anamika I would have loathed the book with all my heart but I'm happy that it didn't turn out that way bc I was so done with Indian authors repeating the same story that how a boy and girl gets sperated due to caste system and then in climax a miracle happens and they are together at the end. But at least this book wasn't like that, it had a proper message to give at the end

Story keeps you engaged till the end. I thought of a happy ending but somewhere feels disappointed. But anyways i have enjoyed it. Readers can give it a try for some indian love masala.

Book contains break up, past story, love at first sight, being shy, excursion, confessing love with the influence of booze, beginning of love, thinking what society thinks, bad dreams and a lot more. And as the name states Not-a-sweet-love-recipe.

If it's a real life story then I feel bad for the guy.. But I didn't really like the book at all..
I wanted to DNF it after 2-3 chapters itself.. The only reason I kept reading was because I chose the book as part of a reading challenge and didn't want to leave my challenge incomplete..

Loved it. Just loved it. The way author has penned down the story is astonishing. The story line and the characters are well impressive. I just flown away with the story till the end. It is the best story I have read till now.

According to me , it's an amazing experience to read this if you are a hard core fan for romance or fiction reads. The language is easy and no high level words. You can totally relate to this book. Go and read , you'll cry. Loving it !!
