You know how some love stories are not just to be read...they are meant to be felt. Lives lived through the pages turned and words written, as if you are now a part of that story. And that's how Threaded Together by T. Shree welcomed you into its world with this feeling. Right from the very first chapter.
The tale weaves the lives of Samaira and Asher Singh Rathod , happily married for the past seven years and thriving with a lovely daughter Aria along with Asher's company GenexRobotnik in London. Samaira is a neurosurgeon on a leave for now , due to her expecting their second child , but things start to change for the first time when Asher starts appearing less and less in Samaira's condition, making her feel more alone than ever. Meanwhile, Asher has been struggling with his business, due a tough competition and cyber war going on against his company, and amidst this a tragedy strikes... breaking Samaira , Asher and all their upcoming expectations of happiness. Now the thread that connected Samaira and Asher has been getting pulled far and far ...but how long will it take till it finally succumbs to pressure and breaks at last?
This book...had me feeling all kinds of emotions, love, helplessness and even rage at some characters. Right from the first chapter, I was on the edge of my seat because it didn't take its sweet time to wreck you slowly, it starts in the middle of the big horrifying twist that broke Asher and Samaira, and me too as a reader.
Then it slowly takes us back to before the incident, where we get to meet Asher and Samaira intimately. Their bond and relationship made me melt , like the kind of mutual love and understanding a marriage signifies. Their daughter Aria added more cuteness and innocence in their love , making us feel content with their little bubble. But with turned of pages, slowly the feelings got me.
The writing style is personal, like a narrator, as if author is talking to the reader, each chapter starts with a personal observational talk , along with poems complimenting feelings and overall vibe of characters. I loved that , I was able to connect with characters as if I was present in their lives. The frustration and Angst is portrayed wonderfully well through Words in this one. My heart was breaking along with Samaira and Asher ,yes I cried a bit , but I mostly treasured this feeling their story evoked in me.
There are lighter moments along with laughter too , added by Asher's friends and family relatives. Plus Aria and Asher's bond was beautiful to read , I mean the man's cold for outsiders but A warm teddy bear for his daughter and wife! At start I was really pissed off at the antagonist, but by the end it didn't matter because she redeemed herself better, and I got to see her in a new light.
Overall an emotional rollercoaster of feelings where every thread of relationship can be felt when pulled , as the title said , Samaira and Asher are threaded together and it could be felt by the end of story. ( Don't worry, it is a happy but very realistic ending) If you love Angsty reads that feel too real and a love story that stays with you forever even after closing the book, then this is a MUST read for you!
