Delightful read of a woman discovering her sexuality. In India, it's still a taboo and sadly many lives have to keep it under wraps. Hopefully, the future looks bright though. The author surprised me with her latest. lols.
A quick read for anyone.

Sparks fly in all directions when two souls meet.
When Kashish meets Sanaa, sparks fly. While she is still not able to understand her sexual orientation, her journey on the road of self-discovery is well penned by Author Ruchi Singh. I liked the way Kashish was full of self-doubts and anger. How she really tried to make herself fall in love with Amit. The doubts of being 'different' are not easy especially in an orthodox society like ours which is to a large extent homophobic.
The chemistry between Sanaa and Kashish make your toe curl. Well written.
The only issue I had with this book is that it's too short. I wanted to explore the point when the parent's find out. I feel such books need to written more nowadays. And not only for the kids but also for the parents. How does a parent deal with such a situation or how does a girl or boy, come home and face their parents with such revelations? It's not easy. And that needed some exploration. But then that's me. I just need to know more and more and more..sort of a community peep tom you can say.
Well written, Ms. Singh. A definite read for those who love to read romances. Read it with an open mind.

Ruchi has dealt with a very important topic which requires awareness. A taboo topic even in discussions between friends, this story certainly sparks the need to make this topic an acceptable one. Well written.

In Any Other Authors Hand Such A Sensitive Theme Could Easily Throw Up A Lot Of Red Flags If Not Make Exactly Make A Lot Of Readers See Red. But Then Thankfully Ruchi Singh Isn’t Just Any Other Author And That Is Exactly What Makes Her Stand Apart.
Proof Of It Amply Lies In This Short But Power Packed Read Spark That Is Book 2 In The Women From Mars Series Shorts.
There Is Very Little, If Absolutely No Doubt That This Is Perhaps The Very First Time That The Author Handles Such A Sensitive And Even A Highly Volatile Theme (Perhaps For The First Time) And She Makes Sure Not To Be Judgemental Or Get Tempted To Be Opinionated Around The Plot.
Instead She Shows Lots Of Maturity As Well Clarity In Thought While Handling Such A Volatile Theme To Weave A Tender And Heartwarming Love Story With An Unsaid Message Of Love & Let Live Because It Takes All Kinds To Make The World And So Let Everyone Find Or Discover Their Own Comfort Zone Without Having To Be Apologetic Leave Alone Answerable To Anyone Else For The Personal Choices They Make In Their Pursuit For Joy & Happiness.
In A Brief Nutshell Spark Is A Tender Love Story Of A Journey Of Personal Discovery Where It Is Almost Heartbreaking When Personal Choices Have To Be Made Between Kashish Mehra And Sanaa.
While The Later Already Knows Her Mind And Is Clear About The Direction In Which Her Life Is Headed As She Has Made Her Peace Having Made All Personal Choices A While Ago Kashish Finds Herself In A Moral Dilemma As She Still Cannot Reconcile To Her Personal Leanings And Come To Terms With What Her Heart Craves For But The Demons In The Head Want To Throw A Towel
Over To Keep That Grey Zone From Turning Into A Pitch Black One.
What Makes Spark Such A Touching Tale Is That The Dilemma Of Kashish And The Serene Calm Of Sanaa Is Actually Palpable And Throbbing Right Across The Book And Thats What Makes This Such A Relatable Love Story. It Maybe A Tale Of Fiction No Doubt But If You Look Around Then You Would Find Many Like Kashish And Sanaa Silently Battling Their Personal Demons Scared That They Just Might Tumble Out Of Their Closet Long Before They Are Ready To Cope With Them With Their Dignity Intact.
The Good News From Author Ruchi Singh Is That Even Though She May Have Taken A Prolonged Break From This WFM Series Shorts After Temptation & Spark Yet The Curtain Has Not Fully Dropped As She Actually Has Two More Titles Obsession & Innocent Upcoming Anytime Soon. That Hope Alone Is Enough For Diehard Fans To Wait And Watch When Ruchi Singh Returns To Take The Women From Mars Series Forward Once Again.
