It's a lovely book describing every single bookworm out there in the form of Sara . The Christmas evening is the setting of the book where most of the incidents took place. Being a bookworm I can relate to every single thing that Sara spoke of like having book boyfriend's, falling for mysterious characters, finding solace in the white pages, feeling extremely comfortable and at ease where surrounded by tons of books and such like scenarios. On the top of that when you finally meet someone as enthusiastic as you when it comes to book then that things hits really hard. Ayush is like the dream that bookworms sees when reading a book. It's a cute love story of two people who loves reading Harry Potter like crazy, In between the story Osho's book blurb describing death , the other series mentioned really forcing me now to buy them all together.
Overall i enjoyed reading it. It's a beautifully penned love story with a Lil bit of romance, shyness around it.
Some books make you feel nostalgic and some past memories stir in your heart. This was one of those books for me as I used to live in Bangalore and I remember I used to go to church every Christmas and do some Christmas shopping as I lived away from my home. Now comes to this book, the book is a sweet romantic book. It's always special to read a female protagonist who is a book lover and the bookstore incident was just perfect. But in reality, I had never got anyone who would help me in the book store until I asked the store staff to help me so for me it was fiction but still I got jealous of the protagonist. Okay no more comments about me. The book is a good Christmas read. A cozy and short book which will make you feel happy. So grab your copy today or gift some book lovers so they can also fall in love with someone like this.
Sweet romance. Love at first sight made believable. Ayush's voice notes were a cute touch, especially the twist related to the notes. The characters are all likable - except the villain of the story! Read to find out why Sara nearly gives up on Ayush...
It's christmas before christmas 🎄 🎁 for me I guess. The Bookworms christmas miracle is a cute short love story of Sara & Aayush. The book has a set up of Bengaluru. I can't believe I came across this book solely for its title & I must say it does full justice to it. Sara & Aayush met each other in a bookstore and it was definitely the cliched love at first sight 💕 😘. As the title suggests both of them are book lovers and bond over mystery and romcoms.
I love the characters thoroughly. Both were altruistic in their own way. Sara’s gesture towards the orphan kids is worth melting and ayush story telling to these kids were worth being ‘in awe” for.
I was glad that most of the book was positive & the parents of both the MC & FMC were supportive and understanding in their own ways.
The Christmas traditions of the Anglo Indian family were beautifully described.
All in all a great story, short & fast paced, this book makes up for a good holiday read.
