Adhuri Prem Kahaniya has evolved over years of 12 people. The book covers light moments of these people in these 25 short stories. This book may prove to be a good travel read or ice breaker. A person asked me, How to fall in love with a right person? I gave a candid reply, "Love is treated like sex: You'll figure it out." All sort of dire, unexpected outcome.

This book is an english non fiction consisting of 25 short one sided or incomplete ( as the title suggests) love stories. Ignoring the few typos and grammatical errors it was a good read, some making me laugh till my stomach ached while the others broke my heart. The stories were quite relatable. Great job!
Adhuri Prem Kahaniyan is a english non-fiction that collates real love stories sourced from life. As the title testifies, each story is incomplete and is told from the male point of view.
With numerous tales of love, lust, friendship and betrayal, one can see different shades of love and the twists and turns that contributes to its abrupt ending, bereft of a closure. Some stories are fun to read, while some had real pain and pathos hidden behind the narrative prose.
The language is colloquial with a lot of hindi and tamil words thrown in. And the whole book reads like a blog.
Plus Points – Man’s perspective about falling in love
Minus Points – Bad prose, typos and grammatical errors in almost every other line. I am sad about the fact that a book could be ruined by such bad editing and absolutely no proofreading.
Verdict – One time read if you don’t mind the errors.
