Target readers will mostly be young adults; however, it will also attract anyone who enjoys sugary romance, interpersonal conflicts, deep-rooted psychological turmoil, nature’s bounties and sweet & sour love stories with a sensual touch. “Cuddle & Clash” stories revolve around those emotional highs and lows which we come across once in a while when our really good times suddenly struggle through a patch of bewildering difficulties.

THE TITLE-
Like every relation love also has some pit falls. Some couples who love and care of each other beyond the limits, they mostly seems like they are fighting but in reality they are sensitive, most careful about their relationship and don’t want to comprise in their relation. Therefore they notice each and every little thing and make issue on that. Sometime couples fight to grab the attention of their partner. And this is the most common phenomenon now a days. But yes, As a coupe if you fight or argue on some points, make it healthy by keep yourself in respectful limits. Try to compromise where possible. After fight and arguments take some time and try to understand each other and fix your relation to normal. During fight if you make some fun or said anything normal it will finish your fight instantly and you both have a smile on your face that we were doing.
I think the title CUDDLE & CLASH is perfectly appropriate for the book.
REVIEW OF THE BOOK-
The 25 stories presented through this book describes the fact that A real relationship has fights, trust, faith, tears, pain, arguments, patience, secrets, jealousy and LOVE!
Each and every story gives us the glimpse of the fact that no relationship can sustain without ups and downs, I believe good battles are objective and honest, never vicious or cruel. Battles are constructive as it brings equality to the relationship. One will find several bits of cuteness throughout the journey. Not only the book portrays cuteness but also it displays several other emotions ranging from hope till love. For instance in the story FOREVER YOURS we have” By the time you will get this note, I will be flying to some distant land, far off from our childhood, far away from you. You must be thinking me a coward, an escapist. Probably yes, I am. But the geographical separation would definitely not let me forget our sweet and sour moments of attachment. With a heart full of lovely memories, wish you good luck With Timir. Just one request, please don’t wipe me off from your memories. With a dry hope of reverence, ending it off.
Forever yours, Ratul.”
This particular instance delivers love, hope, sentiments and a lot of emotions bund together.
The couple that fights the most is the one most in love. It shows they care enough to notice the other one screwed up and care enough to mention it to the person so that they can fx it. When you stop fighting, you mean stop caring.
