Slowly and very delicately their story progresses, and in comes love and things begin to take on a golden hue.However, soon their life begins to unravel. Sahil learns why Arya is so private when the most damning truth about her life is revealed. And as soon as they cross that bridge and move on, another cruel blow threatens to tear them apart.It's now about a life beyond life, and about a love somewhere among the stars . . .

This is the story of Sahil and Ayra who used to study together when they were kids and were best friends. But she leaves the school and they don't meet for a long time. Years later, he one day sees her and gets reminded how much he liked her when he was a kid. So he approaches her on social media and starts talking to her again and starts their friendship again. But Ayra has always been very shy and she doesn't open up to people, as if she had a very traumatic past.
What I Liked:
- The language is very simple and easy to read, you'll fly through this book.
- The family dynamics of Sahil's family and how they accepted and adored Ayra. His parents are pretty cool ngl.
- The cover. So pretty!
- Made me feel all the feels by the end of this book.
What I Didn't Like:
- This book is outrageously predictable. In the first 20 pages and after reading the blurb in the back of book, I could literally predict the entire story. This is a very generic love story we all have read and seen a thousand times. There was nothing new in this love story but even if the story is extremely predictable, it didn't stop me from crying in the end. The feels got me in the end.
- Things happened so fast. Sahil and Ayra just met and after reciprocating their love, they get married within weeks, and then things happened in less than a year of their marriage. I think it could've taken some more time, but it was over almost within a year after they met. I felt this was very hurried.
- I did not feel any sparkling chemistry between Sahil and Ayra.
Even though there were flaws in this book, I would definitely recommend this book because we all love a love story where we're crying in the end.

This is my first time, venturing into Shravya Bhinder's work. I had heard a lot about her bestselling work — "Something, I never told you". Therefore, I had considerable amount of expectations from this book, and I can say that it was a good read indeed, which may leave you emotionally drained out by the time you reach the end of the story.
So, we start with the prologue, where we meet Sahil, who is at a place with his friends but seems to be absent-minded, since his thoughts are constantly getting drifted away to the girl, with whom he is "madly and hopelessly in love with". He is the male protagonist, and the complete story is projected from his point of view. Sahil is shown to be this nice and sensible man, who knows very well, what he is capable of, and most importantly he has the ability to analyse his surroundings as well as his emotions properly. He is shown to be a person who is well-aware of his feelings and knows how to convey them. No doubt, he aspires to be an author.
While, the heroine of this story, Ayra is an aura of mystery. The more we see of her, the more we want to know about her. But she doesn't spill much about herself. This small, quaint mysterious characteristic was enjoyable, but at a point, I did lose my patience, (just a tiny bit). But then, I guess that's the beauty of this book, and that aspect which will make you hold on to the story.
The wonderful point to be noted, regarding the author's writing style is that, most of the story is based in the past, so there is a lot of time travelling between the past and present, but I never felt confused, or lost while getting reading along. What I feel, that could have been better in this story is that it could have been made less predictable. At many points, some hints were dropped, which made it possible to guess how the story could turn out to be. Unfortunately, at those instances, it felt slightly "clichéd".
Other than that, the story is very warm in nature and goes way beyond the realms of romance. The story has latent tones of family and other treasured values, and I really appreciate this thing here. The flow of the story, is quite stable, doesn't rush through, and I assure you that it will make laugh, giggle, cry and blush at numerous times. The language is simple and readers will definitely fall in love with the storytelling style of the author. In general, Sahil and Ayra, are opposite poles of a magnet, but they attract each other. I honestly fell in love with the way Sahil fell in love with Ayra. I felt downhearted when Sahil had to let go of Ayra, but this made their saga immortal, that crosses galaxies and fills me with a hope, that they will meet again in another universe, again.

To you, with love by Shravya Bhinder
Rating: 3.5/5
Sahil and Arya were best friends from their childhood. In spite of being completely different from each other, they shared a deep bond. A sudden disclosure ended their friendship and they moved on with their lives. They meet after many years and mended their bonds. One thing leads to another and Sahil finds that he still has feelings for Arya. Will Arya reciprocate his love? What is that Arya is hiding from everyone? Do they get a happily ever after? You will get to know the answers when you pick the book up.
The cover of the book is beautiful. As it is well depicted by the title, the novel is mainly a love story. I will give you a hint that the title is related to letters. You get to know about them in the book. The book mainly revolves around Sahil and Arya. It is narrated from Sahil’s point of view. Sahil's behavior is very immature. At times, you will like his character but mostly he behaved like a spoilt ‘brat’. Arya’s character is portrayed well. Her sufferings and pain will make your heart sad. I was not deeply moved by the protagonists leaving some instances. However, I loved Sahil’s parents and their equation with him.
The story had started with great potentialities and maybe that’s why I raised my expectation bar. Sadly, it could not match that. The story gets lost somewhere in between and loses its charm. It does have its moments but mostly it becomes flatline. It gets stuck with a predictable plot with one of the protagonists suffering from an incurable disease and it could not get out of that.
The author has spoken about some sensitive issues like child molestation, homophobia, and depression. The part where Arya described her struggle in writing was heart-wrenching. The language is pretty simple. You can pick this one up if you are seeking for something quick and easy. But don’t expect too much because then you are going to be disappointed.

This is my second book from the author and I liked it much. I usually don’t like cliche romance genre novels, so I was afraid to pick this up but this turned out so good. I briefly discuss summary. Sahil and Arya are the main characters. They are totally different. Lime Sahil is carefree and ‘the brat’ kind of boy while Arya is sensitive, shy and reserved. I liked the introduction part and that attracted me the most. I won’t discuss that part as it will lead to spoilers but I would like to discuss little parts that I liked the most. First is my idea if romance or perfect movie is DDLJ and author has discussed that part. That stole my attention completely. Those sunflower discussion and that gifting rose flower and surprises on birthday, that is my dream idea of date. Other things is over protective parents and that urge to live alone in metro city was quite relatable. And Sahil when he was finding excuses to delay in writing book, his fears are so realistic and relatable. The cover is so relatable and pretty I must say. This book made me nostalgic and reminded me of my first date. But life is not celebration and happiness all the time. I liked the plot. It’s simple yet beautifully presented. Author has paid attention to smallest details. It’s an emotional roller coaster. Author has presented and focused on emotions too carefully that it directly touches the heart. The language of the book is lucid so that everyone can pock it up. Narration style of the author is captivating. We can relate many of the incidents, fear and emotions. It was a nostalgic experience for me. Overall good one. Recommended from my side.

///Again and again, I find myself on the verge of falling into countless pieces, like a shattered glass that breaks into numerous fragments that spread all over the room, waiting to be found. Sometimes, these pieces remain hidden under the surfaces, becoming witnesses to all that happens in the room. But mostly when they are discovered, they're thrown away/
It's nice to know that some authors believe in realistic endings, no matter how heart-wrenching that might be.

This is my second book by Shravya. One thing about her books is that they may not have a unique plot about love stories but definitely will have the unique elements in the story that makes them raw, well-written and enjoyable.
The book is about the short-lived love shared between Sahil and Arya, childhood friends first and lovers after. They had a little happy go lucky relationship until the dreadful past of Arya comes in the front. This creates obstacles in their relationship but they try to fight against them.
A fast-paced story narrated by Sahil with a smooth flow and lucid language. The book is a fresh breeze. Overall, a nice romantic book with not so many cliches and a good writing.

"To you, with love" by Shravya Bhinder is a typical love story including protagonists of total opposite personality, some secrets alongwith moments of happiness and sorrow. But still manages to make the readers feel an essence of novelty in the soul of this tale in the way this narrative has been presented.
.
The blurb of book contains pretty much what is needed to pique our interest to get acquainted to the story on the whole. Ayra and Sahil are chilhood mates but they get apart and loose touch. Years after they get to meet and Sahil realises his love for Ayra. But soon he perceives some issues with her which she has been keeping hidden. Will his love get reciprocated? What is Ayra's secret? What has the fate decided for the two?
.
As the story commences, one will easily be enthralled by the nostalgia and feel of first love which sometimes gets lost. But when fate makes it's move, chances are given again. We take it, unknown to whether it will be temporary or forever. Sometimes for a memory to become everlasting does not depend on its span rather how strong and powerful emotions it holds.
.
Author has tried to give a beautiful message that we can hate 'Love' for all we want but it is the one and only thing that conquers all. I loved the portrayal of Ayra who having being suffered much in life doesn't let those bad memories penetrate her innocent and caring attribute. Other than the main story, one will also find other side stories touched and impacted by love to a great extent.
.
Talking about the cover of the book, it is quite captivating. Especially when one is well versed with the story, they will see how perfect fit it is. And the choice of the title is very thoughtful as they are the address and signature part of the letter and in this case, a love letter. It is very relevant keeping in mind the several letters Ayra wrote for Sahil.

3.5 stars!
This is a story Sahil and Ayra, friends since childhood, broken apart from eachother at teenage and found each other at adulthood. This is a heartbreaking and compelling story of two people in love and holding onto eachother despite all the troublesome circumstances. Will they be able to hold on till the end or will fate break them apart?
The primary focus of this story is certainly exploring deepest depth of pure love and friendship. This also deals with aspects of family and relationship dynamics.
(*Trigger warnings* - sexual assault, mental health and eating disorder.)
Here we see the story from Sahil’s point of view and understand his character arc. We follow two different timelines one is when they met after years since childhood(2017) and another is the present times(2018). We also get few glimpses of their childhood and their first interaction till when they got separated. This was highly environmental as it was set in India, so many aspects were distinctly relatable.
I thoroughly enjoyed the writing style of this book it was super easy to read had a specific lucid tone. Even though there were multiple timelines, it was never messed up. Also loved the LGBT+ representation.
However there were few drawbacks which made me rate this a bit more than average-
>I didn’t feel any attachment to the characters and none of the main characters were interesting.
> The story overall was predictable from the very beginning, which made it quite bland.
Overall thoughts:
Plot-2/5

Shravya Binder once again performed magic with words. I had read "Something I Never told You" a year back and was so excited to read this one. Well this ,"To You,With love" , just like the previous one didn't disappoint me and left me all teary and emotional.(and no this is not a sequel but a stand-alone)
To sum up the story , the protagonists , Sahil and Ayra(such a beautiful name) were kinda best friends in school but drifted apart and met after almost a decade. The once used to be shy Ayra wasn't "mousy" anymore - she was bubbly and full of life , Sahil on the other hand was the same old "brat". They have their own happy moments as well as sad sufferings but the love between them deepened. I don't want to give spoilers but the birthday surprise is sort of like a dream date to me.
This book redefined love for me . While reading the epilogue I was in tears. This book was an emotional rollercoaster. Love doesn't always mean to hold on - sometimes it means to let go . This book is beautifully written with a good plot and a realistic ending. Love is not always about the happy moments , love is about being there when your partner needs you the most.
This book deals with some major issues. For example , this book highlights how homosexuals are treated by the society. Finding a home is so tough and excuses has to be made orelse no one wants to rent a house to same sex couple. (THIS IS JUST ONE OF THE MANY PROBLEMS THAT THE HOMOSEXUALS STILL FACE IN THIS "MODERN" WORLD) The importance of mental health in parallel to physical well being is well portrayed. Even if this book doesn't make you cry it will surely leave behind a pain in your chest - like the feeling when something hurts us bad , real bad.
The language is simple and lucid and everyone can get a gasp of what is happening. Overall it was a great read for me and I surely recommend this book. GRAB YOUR COPY NOW!

The story follows Sahil and Arya. They both meet as friends in their childhood but get separated after a while. After a long time, Sahil sees Arya in a random situation and soon enough they begin talking to each other. Little did they know that their talks were conversation starter....for something that would change their lives forever.
This is a tale of love and understanding between two people who are deeply and incredibly in love. But fate and time will test them, will their love rise against all odds or is it destined to collapse? Rekindling a friendship and maybe their feelings as well, follow Sahil’s journey where he finds love and acknowledges the significance of the same as he and Arya begin their romance together.
Both the protagonists are like Ying yang. They have different personalities. The author has fleshed out the characters truly well. And plotwise, I’d say it is engaging because the story starts quite smoothly and as it gravitated deeper the storyline gets clearer and shows the tremulous ups and downs in their lives.
However, it is worth mentioning that this isn’t a clique book. Comparatively speaking, Shravya Bhinder’s To You, With Love is exceptional and a plethora of unconditional emotions. I didn’t realize how emotionally invested I was in the story until the end. Worth reading and I’d recommend this every contemporary genre loving readers.
p.s: Grab a box of tissues… trust me you’ll need it!

And plotwise, I’d say it is engaging because the story starts quite smoothly and as it gravitated deeper the storyline gets clearer and shows the tremulous ups and downs in their lives.
However, it is worth mentioning that this isn’t a clique book. Comparatively speaking, Shravya Bhinder’s To You, With Love is exceptional and a plethora of unconditional emotions. I didn’t realize how emotionally invested I was in the story until the end. Worth reading and I’d recommend this every contemporary genre loving readers.
p.s: Grab a box of tissues… trust me you’ll need it!

•Synopsis-
Poles apart in personality, Sahil and Ayra shared a beautiful bond during their school days. Sharing seat and secrets, they were inseparable.
But life happened and both of them lost touch.
Years later Sahil spots Ayra but didn't have the courage to talk to her. Thanks to Facebook, they get in touch once again. Their friendship rekindles and it changes into love gradually. What follows next is a story of pain and tragic past experiences.
From the title, it seems the book is written in epistolary format but it's actually in the first-person narrative.
Following two different timelines (I.e story of their childhood & present) the story is being narrated by Sahil.
•What I like in the book?
1. The story is really fast-paced, you can finish the book in a single sitting.
2. The language is easy to read.
3. It's a perfect book for beginners who love the romance genre.
4. The cover is really beautiful.
5. I like lgbt+ rep in the book (even though those guys were not main characters)
•What I did not like?
1. The story is extremely predictable.
The blurb basically gave away the entire plot.
2. Even if you ignore the blurb, the plot is very generic. Rich guy falls in love with a not-rich-kind-but-shy-girl-with-troubled-past.
3. The second half of the book felt really rushed.
4. I would have liked the book more of the characters were given more depth.
This book fails to leave a mark on the reader. Even though the character lived a very tragic life, you don't feel much about it.
But it's a good book for beginners. The language is simple and smooth. You can give this book a try when you are in the mood of reading a fast-paced novel.

My judgement: ⭐⭐⭐⭐/ Five Stars
🌟This is the story of Sahil and Ayra. Forgotten childhood buddies who meet each other again in a journey where heartbreaking secrets are revealed and despair envelopes them.
🌟Does love blossom between them successfully? Why has Ayra been so private? What's the secret behind her behavior? Will the couple ever have their happy ending?
🌟Narrated by Sahil, their story enthrals the readers who can't help laughing in their happiness and weeping in their sorrow.
🌟This relatable book is a complete pack of different emotions.
The character building is remarkable and the lucid colloquial writing makes you fall in love with the realistic characters.
🌟The book beautifully crafts love synonymous with words like selflessness.
🌟It shows how important hope is even in hopeless situations.
🌟Sahil and Arya set couple goals! The way they support each other come what may and the way they believe in each other more than in themselves is magical.I specifically loved the musing conversations between the characters.
🌟Throwing light on mental health and subtly on life of gays in India, the book is not just any love story.
🌟The quote "blood is thicker than water" is yet again proved wrong.
The plot shows that bonds created by blood too are breakable and bonds created just by love are too unbreakable.
🌟The idea that we still can love people who don't care about us, is subtly portrayed here.
🌟This book does have some clichés like fascination for stars, but these are sweet.
🌟All in all, it's a simple read with many unexpected twists and I recommend it to all, specially to those who love meaningful love stories.

Everything in this world has a price & one should always be aware of the costs involved, be it money, emotions, time or place in life.
People who are too good for the world die & become stars.
I know you're watching me from up there. I gaze up every night trying to figure out which one of the bright stars you're, but you never gave me a hint.
This is a love story which talks about sadness, loss, dejection & pain involved when it comes to love. It teaches us how one can achieve something better in life; be it love, relationship or something like friendship - provided they're patient enough to ascertain it.
The novel had a good beginning but wasn't consistent enough in it's approach. It started with a good effervescence, however, failed to live upto it's name or much likely, it's predecessor. Likewise, it was difficult to finish it without much effort trouble consternation. The main drawback I felt being the fact that it was extremely monotonous in multiple layers which really turned me off!
I had high hopes from this novel since I loved the previous book by the same author. And she does a good job when it comes to romance genre. However, I had my hopes up which got crushed completely in the end!

Love, for some, either has a powerful potential to hold them together or just a source of survival in which a person doesn't matter.
--
'To you with love by Shravya Bhinder' is a metro novel, which can be read anywhere, anytime. Sahil is a rich brat, but not so spoiled. Aarya, his childhood school seat partner, friend, crush. But soon they lost touch, but one day Sahil spots her, but didn't had the courage to strike a conversation. But in advent of social media, he searched for her on Facebook and re-ignites the journey of his love story. What follows is a painful past and untold stories. Read it to find out.
--
This typical romance novel has a very generic story line which couldn't spark my curiosity and love for characters. However, the writing style and vocabulary is smooth and highly comprehensive to intake. But what lacks is the narration.
The scale of story starts at a great note, but some slows down in the middle, and tries hard to take that leap, but couldn't reach new heights.
--
The book is perfect for amateur readers/beginners, who are looking for easy to read, heart touching, romance novel.
But, somehow, I was looking for a better narration and description.

A story with a beautiful definition of love. Love never dies. It indeed grows with time. Sahil, the only child of his parents was loved way too much by his friends and family. Whereas, Arya a shy and sensitive girl longed for love.
The way story of Arya is presented in the book is something that would send chills down the spine. She was atleast brave enough to tell her parents about what happened to her. Her parents assumed her making stories, was the secondary thing.
This book clearly explains that love is something that does not fade with time. It is something that the society has no rights to judge. All the characters in the story fought for their love in some or other way.
Sahil's parents handled each and every situation they were supposed to. They fought from their families to get married. Also, Bhanu and Pathak , being gay did not care about the society and started living away from their families. Sahil and Arya fought for every difficulty to be together. At the end of the story Sahil proves that 'love' is immortal.

Sahil and Ayra are childhood friends who were separated in childhood for some reason but meets again in their adulthood, but Sahil sees changes in Ayra's nature. They talk and eventually falls in love with each other and gets married, but fate has other plans for them and the heartache which they will face will be unbearable. What was Ayra hiding? and will Sahil try his best to save the person he loves the most?
I have read the author's previous work 'Something I never told you' and had my hopes up for this book as well, but the story was predictable as other usual love stories. What I loved the most was the feeling it had, the feeling of love, loss and longing. The notes which Ayra wrote were all filled with true feelings, she started them with 'To you,' and ended it writing 'With Love.' and that's what I loved because it went with the title. The ending was heartbreaking but as I said before, it was predictable. Overall its a one time read.

While most of my reads this year were centered around romance genre, so I was sceptical when I picked this up thinking it to be woven around the same old storyline. But I am glad I am mistaken as it proved to be the best love story which I read for a long time.
The story is crafted around Sahil and goes back and forth frequently without creating any sort of mess though. It shows the readers the point of view of protagonist and how he lets go of his love interest.
The book had everything ranging from all kind of sentiments. It evokes feeling of love, affection, makes one feel helpless at times and then suddenly gives a ray of hope. Though both the partners are miles apart in most of their personality traits but still they get along really well. The climax though is a real tear-jerker.
What makes the tale stands out is outstanding narration of author. I literally got lost in the book for most of the time and it took me a few seconds to actually realise that my real life is separated from the contents inside the novel. The characterisation is beautiful and so does the cover.
This book has certainly compelled me to read previous and upcoming work of author as well

The story is really good and different from all the books I've read in this genre. Real life problems and difficulties. You will find that you can relate to the characters in one or other time/scenario. We have lead characters but they don't cover up the side ones. The character development is what I live for in this book.
The writing style is superb, the vocabulary used is simple yet impressive. The way in which author expresses the situation is mind blowing.
Also this book will make you cry, definitely a tearjerker I'm up for. Amazing book. Couldn't get over it.

Loved every bit of the book & can feel what Sahil was going through - with & without her. Hard to hold emotions at the end & so, worth reading.

To you, WithLove
A love story written by Shravya Bhinder.
Shravya takes us to the world of Ayra and Sahil through her mesmerizing words.
Sahil, a rich yet simple guy who lives in Delhi with his partner and is deciding to do his MBA from Bangalore when one fine day he happens to look at a girl just behind him in line and forgets everything but, remembers everything from his past memories.
Ayra, a simple girl, whose life is not so normal with so many ups and downs in life, she still manages to live her life each day and smile amidst all the pain.
Both of them have very different stories but, when love comes along, a new, very romantic so pure story is formal that everyone around glow along with them both.
This book made me cry towards the end and its sole reason was something happened something very tragic happened and the date was my birthday.
I know it is all fictional but Shravya made me feel and imagine everything as if its about my own love and my life.
I’ll definitely suggest every romantic genre reader to read this one and fall in love with the story of Ayra and Sahil.

⚠️ Trigger Warning - Homophobia, Eating Disorder, Sexual Abuse, Paedophilia

📖 Sahil and Arya were school friends and had feelings for each other, but as with the rule of time they separated from each other. Many years later, in 2017, Sahil recognized her in a sudden visit to a mall, but he hesitated to talk to her. Later, he went to Bangalore to pursue his MBA, though he always wanted to be a writer. In Bangalore, he got to know that Ayra stayed in Bangalore for her job and decided to meet her. As the story takes its pace, Ayra felt a sudden health condition due to her eating disorder and left Sahil with her unfinished book and requested him not to open that book. Like every curious us, curious Sahil opened that book by breaking his promise and read it till last and stumbled after reading its contents. What was there which shocked him and trembled? Later Sahil decided to marry Ayra to fill her void place. As the time went by Ayra's health started degrading and she has started diagnosing with an uncurable disease.

- The book looks very promising at the beginning, as the story started pace, it distracted from the correct flow. Just like every other story finished with the same predictable thing. Throughout the story, it gave me the vibes of the movie 'Sanam teri Kasaam'. The dark past of Ayra from her unfinished book where it caught some attention from me but as usual ended with a disappointing flow. But I would love to give 5/5 🌟 for the emotions and feelings of each other, the theme of romance, care for each other, break the phobe on homosexual love, perfect character developments, lucid and well crafted narratives. I wouldn't recommend this for its flow and end of the story. It will disappoint you, but would love to recommend this for Bhinder's added love and emotions in the characters and the story. If you have read it, let me know your thoughts in the comment.
Happy reading.

💖The book "To you with love" by Shravya Bhinder is one of its kind which is a unique one among love themed books.
✨The main characters Sahil and Ayra were best friends from their childhood. They both are different from each other like two ends of magnets repelling at each other. Sahil being careless and immatured at his character and Ayra on the other hand is quite sensitive and reserved by nature.

When Ayra leaves the school all of a sudden, their friendship gets ended.
They both have moved on with their lives, but one fine day destiny brings them together and they meet after many years at the mall where Sahil hesitates to talk. Later he realises that he still has feelings for her.

Book: To You with Love
Author: Shravya Bhinder
Rating: *****
Cover: The most promising cover as it has uniqueness of sunflowers other than roses and the promise to you with love.
The book “To you with love” is a heart-warming story of Sahil and Ayra, and their unique love story. Despite being opposites in everything, Sahil fell in love with Ayra. Childhood ignorance and fate separated them but a few years later they connect back. But soon their life changed as the truth about Arya and her silent nature is out and then the couple is thrown to sufferings and challenges. A story about love! A story about vulnerability. A story about second chances.
The book is written beautifully with great twists and turns. The use of language is simple with accurate selection of words which will hold your hearts till the end. I read it in one go as I couldn’t stop myself from turning the pages.
Shravya Bhinder has an amazing talent of writing, with beautiful selection of words, emotions, and the way story flows takes your heart to the fullest. Specially I must say, she has an art of narrating things amazingly to perfection which attracts readers to her books quite easily. Even her other book ‘Something I Never Told You’ is superbly written and executed.
The story shows how people get attracted to each other after having so many differences from start yet they are meant to be together. Love can happen at any stage, at any point of time and with deepest feelings sometime which are not described by plain words.
Sometimes it’s not a rose which may take your heart but a sunflower can also do the same. Its not necessary that only girls can get chocolates as gift sometimes even boys can have sweet tooth for chocolates. Not necessarily every story should have same start or end few stories are meant to be remembered for years with the journey of achieving togetherness.
Summary: Relationships require openness, and that brings vulnerability. If you open up, you risk getting hurt; if you don’t, you may never know the relationship you deserve.
If love is meant to be….
Right from childhood Sahil and Ayra have been very different from each other. While Sahil is careless, carefree, ‘new money’ and ‘the brat, Ayra is sensitive, reserved, shy and not easy to talk to. And that is probably what attracts Sahil to her. Their story progresses slowly and delicately, and things gradually take on a love-tinged hue.
However, there lives soon begin to unravel. Sahil learns why Arya is so private when the most damning truth about her life is revealed. Just as they overcome that challenge, another cruel blow threatens to tear them apart.
It’s now about a life beyond life, and love somewhere among the stars…...
I wish Shravya Bhinder all the very for her future endeavours.

Review
This is the second book of the author as I didn't like the first one and I didn't wanted to buy the second one but I did as I saw the experience of most readers who read this book so I also bought it and I do not regret about a single penny which I spent on this book as this book is full of love and a heart touching story which gave me a blissful experience.
The book shows an amazing connection with the parents and their love story too.
This 208-page book touched my soul and made me sad when they were in pain and when they were laughing I too laughed with them, this book connected with me.
The language of the book is lucid and narration is at its best.

📒After years when they both grew up,Sahil saw Ayra coincidentally and tried to talk to her but he was hesitating.
Sahil managed to find her on social media.Sahil moved to Bangalore for his MBA.
🕯️Little did he know there was something different written in his fate.🕯️
📒Ayra and Sahil texted every day and this was hampering his MBA.Sahil traveled to Delhi from Bangalore many times to spent times with her.Sahil was deeply in love with her because of her nature.He was a bit suspicious about Ayra's health but ignored his feeling thinking nothing can happen to her as she is so young.
📒One day Sahil went through her diary that she forgot to take with her.As he went through the pages he understood her passion for writing and one of the darkest past of her life was revealed.
🕯️WHAT WAS WRITTEN IN THAT DIARY?.....🕯️
📒Sahil was so much influenced by Ayra.He was mesmerized by her ideas and the way she used to see the life.Sahil decided to marry her.
Sahil gave credits to Ayra for making him a responsible man with a purpose in life.He decided to fulfill all her dreams.Together they had the best moments of their life.

🍁 I have been a big fan of emotional, heart-rending books , my all time favourite books (All The Bright Places and TFIOS) are from this genre. There are many reasons why this is my favourite genre, but the one i find the closest is the beauty of raw emotions- of love, grief, anger , of life in these books. All of these stories are fueled by these raw emotions , channeled flawlessly into the the characters , the situations, the special moments and all of it are what makes them special.
🍁 To You With Love is a story of two people, Sahil and Ayra . From the beginning, they have been very different from each other , Sahil being carefree, wealthy , a happy go lucky guy, while Ayra is sensitive, reserved , shy. Close friends since childhood ,some circumstances make them go away from each other, Years after, a random encounter , as though put together by destiny itself , makes them find each other again , and what follows is a story which takes the reader on a ride involving deep friendship, grief , endless laughs , special moments, unforgettable encounters and most importantly , pure, true love.
🍁 The author has beautifully carved the characters, and each of them have been given the deserved importance accurately throughout the book. The plot is immaculate, focusing on the raw emotions throughout the book, while also delving into some of the major social issues and problems people face in the world, shown through the characters lives. The story moves on with a steady pace throughout the book ,the author's writing is lucid and easy to read for everyone. She also includes a lot of humor, funny anecdotes, amazing quotes , special letters while nearing the end , all of these things keeps the reader interested till the last page. I couldn't find anything which i disliked in the book. What i loved the most was the main characters were not perfect , they were not exactly made for each other,both of them had their own differences, their own flaws , but the love between these two flawed humans was pure and flawless.
🍁 This book is excruciatingly beautiful, it managed to break my heart in a way , but for such a beautiful story, I'd gladly accept the tears, the laughs everything, without a thought. I can proudly say that i have three favourite books now. Sahil and Ayra will always stay in my heart♥️

Rating - 5/5 🌟 , this book deserves it:)

"To you, with love" is a story dedicated uniquely to unconditional love that 's find its way beyond any hindrance. Story is narrated by male protagonist - Sahil about his childhood friend and now love of his life, Ayra.
Sahil and Ayra were once separated and after a period they got to meet each other that brushed Sahil 's memories and enliven his past with Arya.
Sahil got to see her again in traffic and mall and his childhood love rejuvenates once again leaving him restless to find her.
Then they connected through social media and used to chat whenever possible.
Sahil and Ayra have been very different from each other since childhood. While Sahil is careless, carefree, 'new money', and 'the brat'; Ayra is sensitive, reserved, shy, and not easy to talk to. And that is probably what attracts Sahil to her. .
Once Sahil gets known the horrible fact about Ayra that is the reason of her withdrawn nature, though he manages to propose her and, later she accept his love , Right the moment the brightness of their love grew pale and their dreams to be grow old together left unsettled.
They kept waiting for a real miracle to serve their love with the same shine and glow again.
All the characters are of strong and purposeful ones.
Sahil was a confused and carefree guy escaping from responsibilities and only child of parents who are loving, liberal and warm hearted couple. Where as Ayra was simple sensitive and shy girl reserved in nature . She has dreadful past that keeps haunting her always but her attitude towards life and people is much positive and inspiring, though she has seen the hell.
She always inspires Sahil and made him transformed person. She did this task to inspire him till the end.
Story is blend of many emotions and up & downs. Besides Sahil and Ayra's love story there is another story of sahil parents' love marriage.
Author has put flawless effort for creating such a charming story that offers simple but intriguing plot with the soft- hard incidences happening around us, with smooth and pleasing narration alluring cover and much a title picked, referring as if written to a special ones.
Reccomended for anybody those who enjoy romance fiction.
