Book- The Day He was Gone
Writer- Anjum Awasthi Malik @anjumawasthi
Review:
A combination of real life struggles, depressions, achievements, mysteries, miseries, self respect, love, hate, and many other human emotions through which the writer very well weaved the story. The moment you start falling in love with the character, there's a certain twist in the plot which makes you doubt about your choice but there comes another twist which again makes you fall in love.
The cover made me seriously think as to how can ruining each other's life be a way to heal each other but by the end of the story, I got my answers. Diary entries in the end of each chapter compels you to have some pre-assumptions but as the story proceeds the writer breaks a few of them and shows you a complete new story. There are stories you read where just halfway, you know the whole plot but then there is this story where untill you turn the last page, you are not sure how would it end. And when it actually ends, it leaves you with a pleasant smile.
P.S. :
The quality of the pages resembles to my course book and not with that of a novel which you know is very boring. Thick pages makes it a heavy book too, which certainly hurt the arms. It also lacks the essential smell of novels. Had the story not been interesting, I would have never read it past 20 pages. I hope @invinciblepublishers reads this review and rectify them in their next edition.
Keeping the negatives asides, it's a beautiful story of 4 lives - Reeva, Agnivesh, Karthik and Kriti; but is it actually about 4 lives?? To find that out, I strongly recommend you to read it and enjoy as much as I did.
