Boy Meets Man

The book is an exciting journey of what-ifs and aims to tackle topics that were undiscussed in my childhood. It’s a way of healing childhood trauma and uncovering all the hardships I faced growing up and how I overcame them. But don’t worry; the book also focuses on the positive moments that shaped the person I am today. It’s a series of engaging conversations written in a simple way for everyone to understand. Finally, it touches upon my writing journey, how writing a book was my childhood dream, and how this book ended up being published and read by you!

It’s therapy disguised as a novella! So many moments hit home for me, and I’m sure anyone who reads it will relate. The conversation between his younger self and the grown man he’s become is such a beautiful idea and it’s pulled off perfectly. So moving and powerful. it felt like watching someone reach back in time to hold their own hand!

The comfort in the closure and in reading the conversations is unmatched. If you’re ready to read it, expect to find yourself somewhere in someone else’s story! Also, there is a beautiful interactive part at the end that will make you pause and reflect; It definitely is “not your typical novella!” ❤️

Such a thoughtful, emotional and well-written book that really touched something deep in me. Every chapter felt raw and honest, and i found myself relating to so many parts. It made me stop and think about things i hadn’t really thought about before. The way the stories are told feels very real and personal which makes the whole book really easy to connect with. Honestly, it was a great read and amazing work, especially for a first book✨🤍

Absolutely perfect, it touched me deep in the heart.
The novella felt like a self help book it gave me motivation and inspiration. Also what makes it the best is that it's not for one time reading you feel like you want to get back to it when you want to regain the motivation.
Big applause for the author 👏👏👏

A self reflective theory or a talk with one's own self is what this book delves into. A great spinoff on self understanding and in a way great for raising children, it's a talk between an adult and his younger self at the end of the day.
