Right From The Start… She Stole His Heart by Prachi Gupta and Sanchit Garg is a sweet, romantic story about a few students in college who become friends and how romance plays along in their lives. This book was sent to me by Fingerprint! Publishing for review and I would like to thank them for the same.
Okay then, let’s get down to a short summary before I give my thoughts on the book.
Summary
Radhika has just joined her engineering college and on her first day she meets two people, Nishi and Sid who become her closest pals. Radhika is a smart and serious student whereas Nishi is looking for the ‘right’ guy. Sid is the goofy one, making a beeline for every girl he lays eyes on. Together, they form new friends and have typical (and comical!) college experiences. Sam is the playboy of the college but when he proposes to Radhika, she cannot seem to rid him off that easily. What happens next forms the rest of the story.
What I Liked
Okay, so what I liked about the book was that it transports you back to your college days (if you’re way past that stage like me, that is!). It is always fun reading about that part of your life when you had the most fun in life and were most of the times, an idiot! Atleast I was! Sigh, those golden days!
Anyway, the narrative is pretty good for a debut author and the story line was neat. I loved the characters although I thought there wasn’t enough depth in them, but I guess that’s okay, considering the nature of the story. It is after all about the experiences. Overall, a nice, short read.
What I Did Not Like
There are a few grammatical errors that I could find and also the language could have been more polished, in my opinion. There were places where I had to re-read the sentence in order to understand it perfectly. Also, there’s nothing new in the story, it is a typical college romance and friendship-wala book. Not that I don’t enjoy the kind but I had hoped for some more substance.
