“Thank You for Leaving” by Rithvik Singh is a collection of poetry and prose about love, heartbreak, hope, relationships, family, friendships—and honestly, everything in between.
Right at the beginning, the author promises that the book will make you cry. I don't know about everyone else, but I definitely did.
What makes this collection special is that it doesn’t just talk about romantic breakups. It dives into heartbreaks caused by friends, by parents, even ourselves—just heartbreaks in general. The kind that shape you in small, quiet ways.
There’s this idea floating around that if you haven’t been in a relationship, it’s still a red flag, it’s still emotional baggage. I think there's some truth to that.
When you’re no longer excited about your birthday, or when you stop overthinking why someone hasn’t replied, or you say goodbye without tears in your eyes—there’s something there. That quiet numbness. I don’t think you need to go through a romantic heartbreak to feel that way.
The author beautifully expresses what love should feel like, what heartbreaks have felt like, and ultimately leaves you with a gentle sense of hope. He reminds us of the peace rain can bring, of the kind of love we should strive for, and the kind of person we should become.
The book feels like a collection of raw thoughts and emotions—like someone scribbled down whatever they were feeling on an ordinary day. It feels personal, even familiar. The writing is super simple and casual—mostly quotes, poems, and mini-prose pieces that are deeply relatable.
The cover is this gorgeous shade of yellow—it feels warm, comforting, hopeful. But the sprayed edges were a bit too much for me. The neon yellow looks like a highlighter exploded. It works well with the cover aesthetically, but it distracted me while reading.
Still, “Thank You for Leaving” ends on a positive, comforting note. It tells you that the people who left were meant to go. That you don’t need toxic energy in your life. And that everyone you meet is part of your growth, shaping who you are and who you're becoming.
What I really took away was this: I'm grateful for everyone who’s come into my life—but I’m even more grateful for those who’ve left. Because they made space for better things to come.
It’s a light, pick-up-anytime kind of read. Flip to any page and you’ll find something to hold on to—something that reminds you you're not alone, and maybe, just maybe, gives you a little hope.

3.7/5⭐ (precisely)
When I started reading the book, it felt like another average reading anthology. I started reading it on my train journey, and finished it while returning.
First half of the book seemed exactly like a 3 star read. As I got deeply involved with the verses, it felt too real and personal. I could feel the weight of the words and the emotions that it carried. The author skillfully touched every emotion of a person in love, a person who lost has his love and the one who is trying to move on with his life without the love. The relationship between him and his father, mother, grandmother, and his friends were also delicately delivered. Overall a good worthy read.

Thank You for Leaving by Rithvik Singh continues the same emotional pattern seen in his previous two books. The minimalist format, brief lines, and themes of heartbreak, longing, and quiet sorrow remain unchanged, making the reading experience feel familiar rather than fresh.
While a few lines do strike an emotional chord, the overall book feels repetitive and light in substance. For readers who have already read his earlier works, this one offers comfort but no clear evolution.

Can someone please tell Rithvik to stop writing and actually take a writing course? This isn't a book or a novel; it's just a collection of lines with quotes and thoughts. If you're not into poetry, this might be fine for you, but if you're looking for depth and meaning in a book, please don't waste your money on this disappointing "book" that doesn't even qualify as one.
