Heartstrings - Review
It was like listening to a melodious song. The choice of the words, the pace of the story, the curiosity created by the build up, all were so nicely synchronised!! More than that I loved the way the lead character became the winner and the looser at the same moment. Reader would very easily relate with lead character.
I did not find much negatives with the story, however, (Spoiler alert!!) after reading the first paragraph, reader would be knowing the fate of this story. I would have loved to read how the conversation in coffee shop without knowing the fate.
Anyhow, time for the author to try novel now!! Good luck

well, Megha chose Rahul over Roshan broke my heart but then i do have a sympathy for her, even she didn't got everything she wanted. i guess this is how it works. Moral of the story - love never dies and never propose your friend if you are not sure...n i wonder if this is a real story...:)
