ANGEL
Maanvi thought she knew heartbreak—falling for her childhood friend, Rasin, only to have her love go unreturned. Swearing off romance, she braces herself for a life free from it.
But when her father, a powerful politician, arranges her marriage to Adithya—the son of his rival and a man who once betrayed her—Maanvi’s world is upended.
In a marriage of convenience, old wounds resurface, buried secrets come to light, and a spark neither expected grows.
Set against a backdrop of cultural heritage and political intrigue, Angel is a story of rediscovery, second chances, and the courage to believe in love when it seems impossible.

I generally felt that the plot was pretty predictable after Jay’s death. When Jay was introduced, I thought he could be the main villain of the story, but he was murdered in the following chapter, which was a bit anticlimactic. The characters in the story were all from rich families, and there were parts where I couldn't relate to them. For example, betting against each other on their made-up games.
For a romance novel, Adithya is written too perfectly to the point that it’s unrealistic. Apart from being born in a powerful and rich family, he could speak multiple languages, was musically talented, cook amazingly well, run his own successful business with one of his clients being the president of Russia, and having the power to (most probably) kill anyone for Maanvi’s sake. Adithya’s obsession and love for Maanvi was also too repetitive throughout the story, so that I felt adding the perfume backstory seems kinda redundant.
Hey Susmitha, I hope you don't take my criticisms too badly, writing a book was never easy and I could tell that you put in a lot of effort to write Angel. As an international reader, I was able to get to know your culture and tradition through your book. There were also certain parts of the story which I found to be genuinely funny and relatable. It was great meeting you in Goa, and I look forward to reading your 2nd book :)

I am not really a fan of teen/young adult fiction. Author's writing style is nice but I couldn't connect with any of the characters or the story. It's too difficult to imagine the complex emotions like love and PTSD from the perspective of filthy rich characters that are presented in the book. It would have been more relatable if the characters are from a more humble background. Sometimes the writing is too cheesy to my liking. I guess the fans of young adult fiction, romance genres loving this book...
