Amazing story. keeps changing from lovely to cute to heart-warming to heart-touching to heart-wrenching.
story of friendship, love, despair, inner struggles as well as outer struggles with destiny.
filled with friendship, humor, mushy dialogues, romance, a bit of philosophy, a bit of "gyaan" and so much of sadness too.
everyone would surely enjoy reading this one.

The journey with the book was just like jet speed, everyone who reads this will get assorted feelings from every single page. I am sure you won’t let down until you reach the last page.

This is not just first book also the last one in his journey.

He is young yet matured, well-read, intelligent, quick-witted with a great sense of humor. He is also calm and composed; very confident and optimistic who refuses to give to hope. He is studious and at the same time very fun loving

She is bright, beautiful and intelligent. She is like any other teenager who takes life as it comes. She is also friendly, caring and understanding.


What I think
The book blurb is really interesting and so is the title. They will definitely grab a potential reader’s attention. The font and line spacing is perfect making the reading a less cumbersome process.

The plot is very different and carries a high-level of optimism. Each page and line oozes with positive vibes which also transmits into the reader. The way in which the story unravel is also very unique with very different elements like quizzes and difficult past.

The narrative is simple and lucid. There are many quirky dialogs; some are funny and some are philosophical. Tiny poems in the book adds to the charm and makes us delve deep into his mind and thought process.

Another interesting and unique aspect is that the lead characters are always address as HE and SHE. Their names are not reveals till the end. This lets the reader think of suitable names to them. It enables the readers to use their wings of imagination.

The story takes place in a time where pubs culture is at its high and dating is an accepted routine affair. But, the beauty is, in spite of the freedom the HE and SHE enjoy, they know their limits. Their characters are well-developed; especially HIS.

In short, the book is different love story – far different from the several clichéd ones.


But...
The cover page is average. It lacks creativity and in fact, doesn’t really blend with the story.


Should you read it?
Yes, the story flows with minimal hiccups like a breeze of fresh air.
Go for it!

The way in which the story moves was really interesting.. The book contains only the normal and the usual thing which happens in life, but the way characters has described was very good. Though at sometime there was detailed description about the event which was like little dragging, but the entire book was too good. I am really sad that this book was author's debut and he is no more to an other good one.
