You know when a book doesn’t scream for attention but quietly finds its way under your skin? This book did exactly that. It felt less like reading and more like listening to someone’s heart in the form of a playlist. The QR codes with songs were such a beautiful touch, as it made every page feel alive, like the music was whispering emotions the words couldn’t say.
It’s not one of those dramatic stories. It’s slow, it’s soft, it’s painfully honest. It talks about heartbreak, healing, love, and all those unspoken feelings we try to hide but never really do. Some lines hit way too close that make you stop, breathe, and reread because it just gets it.
There’s something special about how simple and unfiltered the writing feels. No heavy words, no fancy metaphors but just pure emotion. It’s the kind of book that reminds you that pain can be beautiful too, if you’re brave enough to look at it closely.

This is a raw and heartfelt collection of emotions such as love, flaws, hope, and self-discovery. The book feels like an honest memoir, tracing Suraj’s journey from where his love for music began to the relationships, friendships, and muses that shaped him as a musician.
I especially loved one part- How to ignite the spark for its wit and the way his bond with his father was portrayed with such honesty. The inclusion of real photos, illustrations, and meaningful phrases between chapters makes the book feel intimate and creatively structured.
What stood out most was how every muse had a story and how each song was born from emotion and experience. The private playlist he shares at the end was such a thoughtful touch, it made the journey feel personal and alive.
Her isn’t a glossy story of success, instead it’s a heartfelt confession of truth and transformation.

Her: The Story of a Man Who Turned Love into Award-Winning Songs
I went into Her expecting a straight memoir; what I found was a lyrical, confessional book that reads at times like a journal, at times like a song. Suraaj Parab writes in short, intimate bursts — memories, reflections and moments of music — and the book’s subtitle (The Story of a Man Who Turned Love Into Award-Winning Songs) is a fair promise of what follows: personal life filtered through an artist’s sensibility
Voice & style — how the book speaks to me
The strongest thing about Her is its voice. Parab uses plain, direct sentences that are often strung together with lyrical flourishes; it doesn’t feel polished for the sake of show, it feels honest. That honesty is what makes many passages land — they read less like crafted set pieces and more like someone speaking softly across a late night. Reading the book feels like entering someone’s heart.
Themes & emotional core
At its center are familiar themes — love and heartbreak, grief and healing, memory and creative survival. Music functions as both subject and scaffold: Parab returns again and again to how melody, practice and performance are ways of processing feeling. Rather than a linear plot, the book offers scenes and reflections that accumulate into a portrait of someone who makes art out of private pain. This memoir/lyrical hybrid is aimed at readers who don’t demand a conventional narrative arc but do want emotional sincerity.
Music, achievement and context
Knowing Parab’s background as a composer and performer deepens the reading: the musical references and the book’s attention to sound feel rooted in an artist’s lived craft. The subtitle and multiple listings emphasize his trajectory from heartbreak to songs that have earned recognition, so the book reads as much about creative transformation as it does about romantic loss. That context — the author’s music career and awards — makes the musical passages feel authentic rather than merely metaphorical.
What worked for me — and what didn’t
What worked: the candor. There are lines and short scenes that stuck with me — small images of practice rooms, train rides, the odd lyric half-remembered — and the book’s restraint (no overwrought dramatics) often made those moments sharper. What didn’t work as consistently: if you’re looking for plot, for character arcs, or for detailed events that you can recount to others, Her can feel fragmentary. Some sections read like extended mood pieces rather than chapters that move a story forward; for me that’s a stylistic choice that will delight some readers and frustrate others. (I found myself wanting either more connective tissue between memories, or a few deeper scenes that the book skims past.)
Who I’d recommend this to
I’d recommend Her to readers who enjoy lyrical memoirs and to anyone who likes books that sit close to music and memory — think readers who prefer reflection over plot. If you’re the kind of reader who savors lines and emotional truth rather than a tidy storyline, this will likely resonate. If you want a tightly plotted story or a blow-by-blow account of events, this probably isn’t the right fit.
Final takeaway
In the end, Her stayed with me as a quietly earnest book about how music can be a vessel for grief and hope. I felt guided more by mood than by events, and I appreciated the authenticity of the voice. If I were to give it a rating from my point of view, I’d give it 4.5 out of 5 — strong and memorable in its emotional honesty.

This book is not just about the author’s life or merely about music 🎵 it holds a deeper meaning. To me, it felt like a message to dream ✨, to believe, and to never give up. It reminds us that no matter how chaotic life becomes or how painful hardships may feel, if you keep pushing forward, dreams truly can come true. There will be times when you lose your way, but it’s you who must find your path again only then can you create something truly beautiful, just like the music that flows through this book.
The author has written so beautifully about his journey about his family, their struggles, his muses, and how they inspired him to create such soulful music. Even after they left, he continued to create transforming his pain and heartbreak into melodies that speak directly to the heart. It’s inspiring to see how he never gave up on his music instead, every heartbreak became another reason to create something even more powerful.
Before reading this book, I never realized how much effort goes into creating music. Now I understand that even a short two or three minute song can take months of dedication, emotion, and hard work. I am truly grateful to the fourth muse who inspired this book because through your songs, I became your admirer, and through your writing, I felt even more connected.
What I also loved was the addition of the QR codes at the start of each chapter, letting readers experience the music that inspired the words. It made the connection between the story and the songs even more special as if you could hearthe emotions while reading them.
Your words are as raw and beautiful as your music full of honesty and emotion. Reading this didn’t feel like going through a book; it felt like stepping into someone’s life, feeling their struggles and dreams as my own. It’s a deeply moving and inspiring journey.

I never enjoyed reading life-journey books, but this one... this one was something different, something special 😭. I enjoyed each and every chapter of it,the way you described your journey, your muses, like searching for a spark, finding your first muse, writing your first song. Your love for each muse was different from the other 🎀.
You lost so much....your mama’s death, your father’s death, your mother’s death, your cousin’s death, losing your muses... but they never broke you. They made you even stronger. They gave you a reason to write one more song, a song that speaks more than words ever could 🫠.
You also found so much in this journey,so many brother-like friends, so many real fans, so many awards, so much praise, and best of all, your muses. And I am so happy for that 🥹🫶🏻.
This book is not just about music,it’s about love, brotherhood, strength, patience, care, and respect :). Through this book, I realized that music has its own strange fate. It finds its way where it’s needed 🫠.
The brotherhood between you, Kulkarni sir, Thakur sir, and Devansh sir is something words cannot describe 🥹.
The way you described the reason behind writing each of your songs hits differently 🫶🏻. I was in awe, thinking,how could a song hide so much behind it? 🫠🫶🏻
Oh, did I tell you? I cried while reading the last few pages 😭. It felt as if all my hidden strength was written on those pages. And your poem for your last muse… while reading it, I felt like it was written for me, screaming at me to not give up on my dreams 😭.
Thank you, author 🫠🥹, for writing this amazing book. And a big thank you to your last musebec book exists because of her. Because of her, got to read this masterpiece ✨

“Her” by Suraaj Parab is a memoir❤️, but I felt he wrote more than just his life events. He shared his setbacks, experiences, learnings, healing, regaining, and the ways he followed to complete his one and only dream—to bring something original. It inspires you, motivates you and reminds you to follow the path of your heart, to hear the voice of your own will.🧠
This was the first time I truly understood how much hard work goes into creating a single song. It takes months to craft one masterpiece, with many hands refining it so that everyone can connect and resonate with it.🫡
🖊Reading about all the muses📔—how they appeared and how strangely they left without a knock—was a little painful. But through all his ups and downs, one thing I learned is that in life we meet plenty of people, yet the one constant that always stays with us is our sheer belief in ourselves, in doing something no matter what.
The endurance we gain through heartbreak, failure, and even success teaches us that nothing in life ever stays the same. But what always remains is the inner strength we develop throughout our journey. I believe that is the greatest possession we earn in life—along with the people who always stand by our side. The world may not always see them, but in our hearts we know and feel their presence.
In the author’s life, this bond is reflected beautifully—with his closest friends, with his Mumma and Mama, an unspoken bond with his father, and most touchingly, with Sandeep Kulkarni Sir. Their connection felt so deep; even living in opposite corners of the world, their bond sparks with a time that never fades (evil eyes off🧿).
Book written in a very friendly language, with simple prose that resonates with everyone, and his poems touch the heart.

✨Author's Writing Style- The author blends poetry and prose so naturally that you don’t even notice when one ends and the other begins.

✨Her by Suraaj Parab is a memoir that feels deeply personal, like a gentle reflection on love, growth, and everything that lingers in between. The book beautifully captures what it means to love someone, lose them, and still carry a part of that story within you.
It’s not about heartbreak; it’s about acceptance. About understanding that every connection, no matter how brief, leaves you a little wiser and a little softer. The writing feels honest and unfiltered, almost like you’re listening to a friend share pieces of their past , the kind that make you nod and smile because you’ve felt it too.
It’s simple, real, and full of emotion that doesn’t shout, it just stays with you quietly, long after you’ve finished reading.
✨Suraaj’s journey into music wasn’t sudden,it was a quiet unfolding. He talks about how melodies and lyrics always pulled at him, even when he didn’t fully understand why.

Freedom. Not fear. Silence. Not shouting.
Art does not begin in success; it begins in the ache to be understood.
Okay, this book isn’t packed with characters or twists — it’s literally one man laying his heart open. Suraj Purab writes about his own life, his memories and the emotions that slowly turned into songs. While reading, it honestly felt like he was just talking no filters, no fancy words, just raw thoughts.
The story walks through his journey love, heartbreak and how every feeling became music. What I loved most is how close it feels. There’s no fiction here, just Suraj’s truth, his thoughts, his family, his muses and the way he found meaning inside pain. It’s almost like reading his journal, except every page hums like a tune.
Some lines made me stop and think for a second. Like those moments when I read something and it quietly punched my heart because I've felt it too? That’s how it felt. The QR codes linking to his songs are such a sweet idea scanning them while reading makes the whole thing come alive.
What makes Her special is its simplicity. Suraj never tries too hard he just opens up and that’s enough. The book is about loss, healing, hope and how art can grow from the most personal moments.
If you’ve ever loved deeply, lost someone or tried to rebuild yourself this book will hit home. Her doesn’t fade when you finish it as it stays with you, soft and hones, like a song stuck in your head for all the right reasons.

(THEY ALL PASSED. NONE OF THEM STAYED FOREVER. BUT THEY LEFT BEHIND SOMETHING THAT NEVER LEFT ME::- MUSIC 🎶 🎶 🎶--- Book line)
You should read "HÉR" because it is a gentle and emotional story that shows how love can change a person’s life in the most unexpected ways. The book is not complicated or difficult to understand; instead, it feels like someone is sharing their heart with you. It talks about a man who turns his deep feelings—his happiness, his pain, his memories—into beautiful songs, and this makes the story very inspiring. The writing is soft, poetic, and full of emotions that many people can relate to, especially anyone who has loved someone deeply or lost someone important. The book reminds you how powerful love can be, how it can lift you up, break you, and still leave something beautiful behind. It is worth reading because it touches your heart, makes you think about your own experiences, and shows how art is born from real feelings.
Conclusion on writing style-----
The book's style is intentionally simple, poetic, and highly fragmented, using very short paragraphs and minimal prose to create an intimate, rhythmic, and sincere memoir. This structure—which reads like a sequence of lyrics or journal entries—allows the author to directly convey the raw, emotional journey of turning heartbreak into award-winning art, prioritizing genuine feeling over traditional narrative complexity......

This book didn’t feel like it was written to impress. It felt like it was written to understand. It follows the author’s journey through love, heartbreak, loss, hope, and creativity, not as big dramatic moments, but as quiet emotions that slowly shape a person.
What made this book very special for me is how closely the author connects his life with his music. Every song has a story. Every feeling becomes a melody. Reading about the stories and then listening to the songs through the QR codes made the experience feel alive , like I wasn’t just reading his journey, I was walking with him.
There’s a softness in the way this book talks about pain. It doesn’t rush it or hide it. It simply lets it exist. The heartbreak, the loss, the struggles , they’re written with honesty, not for sympathy. And that honesty is what makes the book feel real and touching.
I also loved the sense of gratitude that flows through the pages for people, for relationships, for lessons, even for pain. It reminded me that healing isn’t about forgetting what hurt us, but learning how to carry it gently.
The writing is simple, easy to read, and emotionally warm. It made me slow down, reflect, and feel deeply. It reminded me that it’s okay to be emotional, to feel deeply, and to turn our pain into something meaningful.
This book felt like a quiet conversation and a safe space , and that’s why this stayed with me even after I finished it a long time ago.
If you are someone who feels deeply, loves art and music, and finds comfort in honest, emotional stories, then this book is for you. ✨

🤍 Her: The Story of a Man Who Turned Love into Award-Winning Songs by Suraaj Parab is an emotionally driven memoir that explores how love, loss, and longing can quietly shape a person’s life—and their art.
The book follows the journey of a man whose deepest emotions become the foundation of his music. Each chapter feels like a memory wrapped in a song, where love is not idealized but felt in its raw, vulnerable form. “Her” is not just one woman, but a presence—someone who inspires, hurts, teaches, and ultimately transforms him.
What makes this book stand out is its sincerity. The writing is simple, direct, and deeply personal, allowing the emotions to speak louder than dramatic storytelling. The author shows how heartbreak doesn’t always destroy—sometimes, it creates. Through moments of silence, reflection, and emotional honesty, we see how love slowly turns into music that reaches beyond personal pain.
Some parts feel intensely intimate, almost like reading someone’s private thoughts, which makes the experience more real. The book doesn’t try to give answers or conclusions; instead, it lets emotions exist as they are—unfinished, imperfect, and human.
I’d recommend this book to readers who enjoy emotional memoirs, music-inspired stories, and narratives where love is remembered not through people, but through the art they leave behind.

Reading Herby Suraaj Parab felt less like going through a book and more like being invited into someone’s heart. It’s raw, emotional, and beautifully honest. It is a mix of memoir, poetry, and reflection that makes you pause and really feel.
For me, Her is about emotions we all carry but rarely put into words. It's about love that refuses to fade, heartbreak that changes us, and the way creativity often rises from our deepest pain. It’s also about the muses and people who shape us quietly, and the courage it takes to embrace vulnerability. More than a story of success, it’s about how honesty itself can be healing.
💖 What I Loved
- The way the writing feels so unfiltered and real
- How music is tied to emotions in such a unique way
- The idea of turning pain into something beautiful
- That balance of being deeply personal yet still relatable
- The lyrical flow that stays with you long after
- Embedded QR to his songs in the story itself that you can listen while reading
🌟 Final Thoughts
For me, reading Her was like listening to someone’s private playlist. It is intimate, soulful, and timeless. It reminded me that the most powerful art isn’t perfect; it’s honest. And that honesty can heal both the one who creates and the one who reads.

A heartfelt musical journey that blends memory, emotion, and art. ✨🎶
Her Turning Love Into Music is one of the most unique reading experiences. It begins with a curious young boy whose love for music mirrors his father’s and from there, unfolds a tender story about how early passions shape who we become.
The book moves beautifully through childhood curiosity, friendships, brotherhood, first love, heartbreak, and the people who enter our lives for reasons we only understand years later.
What stays with you is the reminder that music isn’t just lyrics and rhythm it’s emotion, purpose, and the soul an artist pours into it. And this book captures that truth with incredible honesty.
What makes it even more special?
Real photographs from the author’s musical journey
QR codes that let you listen to the songs he created at different stages of his life
It feels like you aren’t just reading a story you’re experiencing someone’s memories, moment by moment.
Not every person or every love remains with us, but some come to awaken something deeper, to redirect us toward the path we were meant to walk. This book portrays that truth with warmth and raw sincerity.
If you love music, emotional storytelling, or books that feel deeply personal, this one is an unforgettable experience.

This isn’t just a story about love or music, it’s about how one shapes the other. The narrative follows a man whose creativity springs from his deepest emotional experiences, and the way it’s written makes you feel the chords of his heart strike in real time. What stood out for me was how the emotional landscape isn’t rushed—loss, longing, creation, and recognition all play their parts with space and depth. Many IG readers noted how the book “felt like watching a song unfold.”
One detail I genuinely loved: the inclusion of QR codes inside the book that link to the actual songs. I find this so interesting—a literary–musical hybrid that invites you to listen and feel alongside the story. It deepened the connection for me, bridging page and melody in a way that lingered long after finishing.
While the book sometimes slows into reflection rather than action, I think that’s a strength—not a flaw—because it mirrors how life often pauses before we create our next chapter. For anyone who loves emotional honesty, artistic arcs, and the idea of love evolving into something transcendent, Her is a beautiful read.
Her is for anyone who has ever loved so deeply that it changed them. It’s tender, heartfelt, and quietly unforgettable.

”Her”Book is by Suraaj Purab.
This book is a memoir; it covers his journey from childhood to the present. He shares his experiences, learning new things, and overcoming setbacks in music. He can’t believe how hard he worked throughout his journey. Everything is included in this book, even how they used to make fake IDs and go to colleges just to perform and showcase his talent.
I love how each photo of his journey is shown, making it easy for readers to relate to him. There is also a QR code that you can scan to listen to his songs.
His passion for joining Trinity College is mentioned in a few pages. This is an emotional book, as he experienced the loss of his mama, father, and mother, all the precious people in his life. Reading about his losses literally made my heart ache.
This book is emotional, motivating, and full of ups and downs. It tells the story of the author and highlights the relationships between his mom and dad, his best friend, and his mama.
The author did not write this book just to share a story. He wrote it to show that you can achieve your dreams, to remind you to follow your own path, to listen to your inner voice, and most importantly, to not be afraid.

Her by Suraaj Parab feels like reading someone’s private thoughts - raw, unfiltered, and deeply personal. This book reads more like a memoir than a story, as if the author is letting you sit with his memories rather than narrating them from a distance.
What stood out to me most was how naturally music flows through the pages. Music isn’t just referenced; it feels like a coping mechanism, a language when words fall short. You can sense how deeply the author loves music, and how it becomes a way for him to hold onto love, process loss, and make sense of emotions that don’t have clear answers.
The writing is simple but emotionally heavy in the best way. There are lines that quietly hit you - not because they’re dramatic, but because they’re honest. It captures longing, vulnerability, and the kind of love that lingers even when it’s over.
This is a book you don’t rush through. You read it slowly, maybe with a song playing in the background, letting each page settle. If you enjoy introspective, emotion-led reads that feel real and tender, Her is worth picking up.

This book completely surprised me. I picked it up expecting an artist’s memoir, but Her feels more like sitting with Suraaj while he plays the soundtrack of his life. It is raw, emotional, sometimes heartbreaking, and always honest.
He doesn’t just talk about his success. He takes you back to the silence, the loneliness, the heartbreaks, the women who came and went, and the quiet strength of his mother. All of it became the spark that led him to create forty original songs, and many of them went on to win international awards.
What I loved most is that the book feels like music itself. Some chapters are soft like a piano melody, others hit you like a storm. It is messy at times, but that is what makes it real.
If you have ever felt unseen, if you have ever poured your heart into music, painting, or writing just to cope with life, you will find yourself in these pages. Her is not just about him. It is about all of us who turn our pain into art.

I think the person the book is named after must feel honored. It's one of those special feelings when someone has actually written a book mentioning you and named the book after you. Therefore, this book is particularly great for those in music and art, as it can help lead them on their musical journey. 🎶📚

I just finished reading Her, and it honestly left me with a strange calm. It’s one of those books that doesn’t try too hard to impress you, but somehow ends up staying with you. The writing feels raw and sincere, like a quiet conversation with someone who’s sharing pieces of their heart. It talks about love, loss, hope, and all the tiny moments that make a person who they are.
The way Suraj writes about music and the people who shaped his journey makes the book feel deeply personal. You can almost feel his emotions through the pages the joy, the confusion, the heartbreak, and the healing. Every chapter feels like a little window into his soul.
What I really loved is how the book flows so naturally. There’s no over-the-top drama, no complicated language just genuine feelings. Some lines made me stop and reread because they felt so human and honest. The photos and notes scattered through the book give it a cozy, almost nostalgic feel, like looking through an old scrapbook.

Reading Her didn’t feel like reading a book — it felt like entering someone’s heart. 💙 It is not just a memoir—it’s a story that feels alive. The author shares his journey of love, loss, music, and resilience with such honesty that you feel every page.
What stood out to me was the way he connected songs with emotions. Behind each melody was a story—of muses who inspired him, of heartbreaks that broke him yet made him stronger, and of friendships and brotherhood that carried him forward.
The book reminded me that pain can create something beautiful, and that even in loss, there is strength. By the end, I found myself pausing and reflecting on my own life. The last poem especially left me with goosebumps—it felt personal, like a reminder to keep believing in my dreams.
Raw, soulful, and heartfelt—this book is worth reading.

Her is not just a musician’s memoir, it reads like a quiet conversation about love, loss, and the strange way pain turns into art. Suraaj Parab writes with honesty and restraint, tracing how relationships, heartbreaks, and silences slowly shape his music rather than defining them through drama.
What stood out to me was how deeply human the book feels. The women in his life are not exaggerated love stories but fleeting presences muses who arrive, inspire, and leave. His journey through grief, especially within his family, is handled gently, without emotional manipulation, making it far more impactful.
The book doesn’t preach or promise closure. Instead, it shows how creativity becomes a way of surviving of listening to one’s inner voice when external beliefs fall apart. If you enjoy introspective memoirs, music, and stories where emotions are felt more than explained.

Her by Suraaj Parab is a tender, introspective collection that captures the complexities of love, longing, and healing in beautifully simple words. The book feels deeply personal yet universally relatable — each piece seems to come straight from the heart, reflecting moments of vulnerability, nostalgia, and quiet strength.
What stands out most is the emotional honesty. There’s no attempt to overcomplicate or romanticize feelings; instead, Parab lets raw emotions speak for themselves. The writing flows like a conversation — gentle, reflective, and sometimes achingly real.
While some pieces feel repetitive in tone, the sincerity behind them makes up for it. It’s the kind of book you underline lines from, the kind you revisit on quiet evenings when words are the only comfort you need.
