This book is a collection of 12 short stories, different couple, different places, different love stories but one thing remains constant, their eternal love and ofcrs chai and rain.

I have like a million things to say about this masterpiece but I really can't be giving you all Spoilers of all the story so I will just tell you a lil bit of 3 or 4.
A blind girl, Parvati and a deaf boy, shiv whose story started the day they both sensed each other at a tapri. never in 3 years they spoke or communicated with each other. The story had so much rain, the feeling if droplets running down their skin, the smell of soil after the rain and garam garam masala chai. They explains that love doesn't need Continous watching or hearing out, sometimes all it need it being present for eachither and understanding the silence together without feeling awkward.

Aradhya and kabirand my personal favourite cupid, little aarav. The characters are written sooo beautifully. Every chapter came with a new learning. they finally faced the past and understood that giving themselves another chance wasn't a starting over rather picking up their old story from the in between. And so so so many credits to our cupid. We love him. 😝🤭💛

The story of Ram and Sakshi was Raw and just so close to my heart chai played such an important role in almost all the stories well obviously Chai and Indian people go way back. And oh my god. GOD JI PLEASE GIVE ME A LOVE STORY OF ISHA AND ANSH🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

The whole book gave new ideas of actual eternal love. It had everything, from second chances to love at first sight. This book is a 5 star read for me. I need its physical version so bad I loved it this much. 🤭💙

It was an emotional rollercoaster, from cute moments to the times where I even cried, it had it all. I need more books with such vibes now. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. If u don't read this book domt talk with me

Well, I had this curiosity to read this book because two authors wrote it together. Just Imagine when 2 authors are sharing their stories, pouring their emotions together in a single book obviously who wouldn't be interested to read it, right!?

📌MY OPINION- Go for this book without thinking....the stories are magical....the emotions are real & heartfelt ..... These two won my heart. I'm so happy that I got the chance to read this book. I finished it in one-sitting.✨

📌COMING TO THE BOOK- first of all, the DEDICATIONS are amazing. I loved them all. Even, the QUOTES added at the end of every chapter serves as a reminder which is useful for our daily lives.

📌MY FAVOURITE CHAPTERS-
1. Shiv & Parvati oh my god....that little story & plot twist🥹 I literally felt it....so beautiful....hatts off to you!
2. Aarav's story .... obviously I loved it cz it has Maggie & hot cocoa & I want a kid like him in future.
3. The chapter that talks about happiness....much needed reminder. I needed it!
4. When Earth quit- it was very unique. The things you wrote about gratitude, yes, I felt it. I never used to thank God on a daily basis but since, January I've started doing it & it feels so peaceful.

This book must be read by everyone & I hope, it gets the attention of bookstagrammers as well! Highly recommended🌸

From My Heart to Yours is one of those rare, tender books that doesn’t try to impress you with grand plot twists or dramatic declarations ..... instead, it gently sits beside you, holds your hand, and reminds you that you’re not alone.

Roohanee writes with a softness that feels almost therapeutic. Her words aren’t just sentences… they feel like quiet conversations with someone who understands your unspoken thoughts. Every page feels like a warm cup of chai on a tired evening .... comforting, grounding, and unexpectedly emotional. 💛

This book is filled with little truths, confessions, and reflections that touch the places we usually hide. It’s a reminder that healing doesn’t happen loudly. Sometimes, it happens in whispers, in small moments, in the spaces between breaths.

What I loved:
✨ The simplicity of the writing , delicate yet powerful.
✨ The themes of self-love, heartbreak, hope, and renewal.
✨ Lines that stay with you long after you close the book.
✨ The feeling that the author is speaking directly to your heart.

This isn’t just a book ... it’s an experience. A letter. A companion for nights when your heart feels too heavy or too full.

If you love emotionally rich, soul-soothing reads, From My Heart to Yours is a must.
A perfect pick for anyone who wants to feel seen, held, and understood. 🌿💫

From My Heart to Yours is a soft, reflective book that talks about emotions in a very simple and relatable way. The writing is easy to read and focuses on everyday feelings like love, loss, healing, and silence. It’s the kind of book you can pick up at any page and still connect with what’s written.
What I liked about this book is that it doesn’t try to be heavy or complicated. The thoughts are clear, and many lines feel familiar, as if they are putting common emotions into words.
Among all the chapters, the two that stood out to me the most were The Woman of a Thousand Scars and Ghostly Rasam.
The Woman of a Thousand Scars shows a woman who heals others but carries the cost herself. The idea of taking on pain quietly, without asking for anything in return, was written in a very thoughtful way and stayed with me.
Ghostly Rasam felt more grounded in everyday life. It talks about routine, expectations, and emotional pressure within households. The story feels subtle but meaningful, especially in how it shows unspoken struggles.
The Earth is an intriguing one... i m so in love with that one as one for its out of the box concept
.
Overall, From My Heart to Yours is a calm and reflective read. I enjoyed it so much.

If I could give this book infinite stars, I truly would. From My Heart to Yours ended up being such a special and comforting read for me. It is a collection of twelve short stories, divided into four sections, and each section explores a different side of love and happiness in its own beautiful way.
What I really liked is that the book does not focus only on romantic relationships. It also talks about family bonds, friendships, childhood, and the quiet emotions we often carry within us. Some stories are light, funny, and feel like warm rom com moments, while others are emotional and stay with you long after you finish reading.

I could have completed this book in one sitting, but I chose to read one story every day and truly enjoy it. While reading, I felt like I was a part of the stories. I laughed at certain moments, felt emotional at others, and even teared up a little. One story about a child feeling disconnected really touched my heart, and the ghost story was a pleasant surprise with its situational humour.

Overall, this was a wholesome and heart touching read for me. Simple, emotional, and very relatable. I genuinely enjoyed my time with this book and would happily recommend it to anyone who loves soft, meaningful stories.

As I had already read books roohanee i had started this book thinking it to be a desi romance, but i was pleasantly surprised.
This book is a collection of 12 short but heart warming stories. Not going to lie, I was surprised when the characters suddenly changed. But I soon realised that this is a whole different story.

My favourite is the one is An Unexpected New Beginning.
As someone who has had to shift to a whole different country (i was wayyyyy older than Siddharth) i related to this story on a whole different level. The story was heartbreak yet so lovely at the same time.

And if I had to choose another story, then it would be the story of Parvathi and Shiv. Another veryyyy cute romance. I would prefer this quite intimacy that they shared over steamy romance anyway.

And let's not forget the recurring star across multiple stories...TEA, as a coffee lover I don't understand the hype around tea but I shall assume that tea is to the characters what coffee is to me.

Oh not to forget the One liners at the end of each story, a sweet little message encompassing the essence of the story in such a meaningful manner.

If you ever feel low, this is the perfect book to get you to feel a little warm and fuzzy again.

Okay so I just finished this book and honestly I’m still emotional about it 😭

It’s a collection of short stories and what I loved most is how REAL everything felt. Like these could literally be your neighbors’ stories, you know? The author writes about love in such different situations – there’s a character who’s blind, another who’s deaf, someone going through a midlife crisis, a middle-class family just trying to make ends meet, and this heartbreaking story about one-sided love that had me ugly crying 💔

I think what got me was how the author finds beauty in ordinary life. These aren’t some fancy romance novels with perfect people in perfect settings. It’s messy and real and that’s exactly why it hits so hard. Every story felt like it could be happening right now, somewhere close by.

Not gonna lie, I cried multiple times reading this lol. Sometimes happy tears, sometimes sad ones, but mostly that weird mix of both when something just feels too relatable 🥲❤️

If you’re into books that show love in all its different forms – the complicated, everyday kind that real people experience – you need to read this. It’s one of those books that stays with you after you’re done.

Definitely recommend! 📚✨

From My Heart to Yours is one of those short, gentle reads you reach for when you want something soothing, delicate, and heart-touching. It’s a collection of short stories, and each one explores a different relationship and emotion from life.

I genuinely enjoyed reading this, especially at a time when I didn’t feel like picking up a book at all. These stories reminded me that life can still be somewhat beautiful even in its quiet sadness. Some stories felt warm and comforting, while a few made me feel too much. It’s surprising how a story barely five pages long can expose the cruelty and harshness of today’s society so deeply.

From the love between a deaf man and a blind woman, to ex-lovers reuniting years after parting ways, from a magical wish to a ghostly presence, and finally to a story that shows just how ugly the world can be, each piece carries a message or lesson that lingers long after you finish reading.

This is a book to read when you’re feeling low, when you’re overwhelmed, when you’re in a reading slump, or when you don’t have the energy for something heavy. It’s the kind of book that doesn’t demand much from you but quietly finds its way straight into your soul.

This book surprised me in the best way. I picked it up thinking I’d read a few pages, but I ended up finishing all twelve stories in one sitting. Each story is just 10–12 pages long, yet the emotional impact is way bigger than the page count.

Every story starts with a quote and ends with another one, and those quotes honestly work like the perfect finishing touch. The author knows exactly how to wrap up a moment.

The stories that stayed with me the most were The Night They Came Back Home, The Cupcake Magic, and An Unexpected New Beginning. These three hit close because they reminded me of things from my own life — that same mix of nostalgia, comfort, and quiet positivity you can’t fake.

The whole collection is easy to read, emotional without being dramatic, and simple without being shallow. It talks about everyday people, everyday problems, and still manages to give you those small magical moments that make you pause.

Overall, this is a genuinely heartfelt book. If you want something short, warm, and meaningful, this one is absolutely worth picking up.

Hey cuties I'm back again with another review 💕

FROM MY HEART TO YOURS BY Roohanee O and Neha Chenani Khanagwal is a masterpiece that feels warm and comforting. This book is filled with short stories and each story tells you about love, pain, healing and those feelings which we always struggle to say in words.

Some of the chapters tell us that how even in silence distance and misunderstandings love always finds it way🫠.

This book made me realize so many things there were so many times when i cried while reading chapters because this book makes you feel connected like you're actually living or watching those stories.

Each word feels honest and relatable as if authors are speaking directly from their  hearts.

The writing is simple yet touching making it easy for readers to connect with meaning of the words behind every page🤍.

FINAL VERDICT
it's a beautiful and peaceful read for poetry and emotional writing lovers with full of gentle reminders that your feelings matter💫.

I have read a lot of roohanee's books but this book's charm is something else 🌷From My Heart to Yours is that book that doesn’t shout : It whispers straight into your soul. Soft. Gentle. Healing in ways you don’t even realize until you pause and breathe. it's a collection of 12 short stories each dived into 4 sections containing their own charm and whispers gentle yet comforting. It’s the kind of book you open randomly and somehow it still understands exactly how you’re feeling.
Nothing feels forced. It just… flows.
The Woman of a Thousand Scars broke me a little. A woman who keeps saving others while slowly losing herself? Yeah. That one stayed.
Ghostly Rasam felt painfully real, home, unspoken expectations, emotions sitting heavy in the air.
And The Earth? Oh I’m obsessed. Soft, strange, beautiful, and so out-of-the-box.
This book feels like a warm cup of chai I. the rainy evening. Like someone sitting beside you saying, “I get it.”
Not loud. Not dramatic. Just real

This book is a collection of short stories which are written by two authors who write so many amazing stories.

All the stories are different from each other yet the emotions I felt during each story are the same. I cried while reading a few, and laughed in some of the scenes. There were 2-3 stories in which I was completely in awe. I love how each story depicts the life lessons as well as the love which is present in today's world. Not all love stories have a happy ending or how life is not easy going.

The stories also tells about the family relations and their importance as well as their behaviours which impact you own life. The best part of the book is the side characters in every story which are the best.

Overall I loved each and every story and would recommend you to read this book.

Two different authors, bringing a mixed bag of stories about love, hope, loss, healing, magic, and human connection. printed in a single shot!!!
Yes!!

The book opens with a tender and unusual story that proves love is blind, love has no language and is beyond senses. and lands with a very heartwrenching story of Mamta and her struggle for survival.
Every story had left a strong impact on me.
This book doesn't have a plot; rather, it shows varied facets of love. Love between a couple, a mother and child, love for art, and love for family and makes sure that at the end of each story, you learn something or are just reminded of the important lesson you might have forgotten in this busy life.

This book is the perfect read for anyone who craves gentle love, nostalgic vibes, and old-school romance. It is a collection of twelve beautiful stories that reach your heart and make you feel at home. Sometimes, you forget that you are even reading a book—instead, it feels like an emotion. A feeling of belonging and quiet longing.

The book isn’t only about love. It explores other themes as well—parent-child relationships, personal struggles, magic, and quiet, understated love. It truly has everything.

My favorite stories are The Cupcake Magic, The Loudest Love in the Room, and When Earth Quits. These three touched my soul and stayed with me long after I finished reading. They are unforgettable.

I absolutely loved this story collection. It’s the kind of book you read at night and then fall asleep with a soft, serene smile on your face. It carries that charm effortlessly. And don’t even get me started on the opening and closing lines—they were perfectly written, poetic, enchanting, and beautifully rhymed. I loved every bit of it 🥹🧿🤍✨️

I could give this book infinite stars if I could. That's how special FMHTY has been for me.

This novel is a collection of 12 short stories that are heartfelt and emotional and heartwarming in the most wonderful way possible. The book is divided into four sections, each section showing it's owm aspect of love and happiness in piece.

This novel not only focuses on navigating relationships between two partners but also of relations between members of a family and friends,too. The book has humor that makes you laugh out loud but it also moves you with feelings that cannot be described in words.

The book for me could've been completed in one sitting, but instead I chose to read one story every day and cherish it the best. While reading, I felt like I was a there and part of the story too, as it unraveled before my eyes. I laughed but I also cried. And that's exactly why this is such a wholesome book to me.

I recommend this to each and every reader in this world and I wish that they love it just as much as I do.

📚It is a collection of short stories. The stories are light, romcoms, funny, and touches your heart. Some make you laugh out loud while some will make your heart go out to the child who’s in a new place and feeling so disconnected to everyone around him. 🧒❤️

There is this ghost story 👻 which kind of was a situational comedy and I was pleasantly surprised on how well it was written.

All in all it was a good read and I had good time.

Beautiful soul touching read

Intimate and genuine from page one, a read that was like a quiet conversation- raw, reflective, and so full of emotion. This book captured love and vulnerability, healing and hope in a way that feels so deeply personal yet so universally relatable. Such a heartfelt read that speaks to the heart and will stay with you long after the final page.
