This book is a description of the lives of MBA students at a B-school. Also, various stories covered in this book are amazingly linked to strategy concepts. Being a B-School student myself, I enjoyed reading it and would recommend all bschool students and alums to relive their b school lives...Have fun

Traditionally strategic management has been believed as the complex field/subject requiring elite consultancy services provided by select few and is exclusive to the corporate world. However, Professor Pillania through the book Love Strategy has offered more simplistic view about strategies. The love story of Dhurv teaches us how to think and act strategically in everyday life situations to get desired outcomes. As Professor Pillania has given more simplicity, flexibility, humour, beauty and romance to the field, I can call him Chetan Bhagat of strategic management.
Worth a read! Even a layman can understand!!
