LOVE, LIFE, SEX
In the world where we live, there are 7 billion or counting of people. Among the billions, people have billions of hearts and their trillions of relationship and enormous times of sex. But with this, they have trillions of heartbreaks, separation, breakups. Some relationships are broken by themselves or by their blunders; or some by their fate and some because of their families. It is because no one can ever escape the pit of love. It happens with every human life; maybe once, twice or maybe thrice. It comes when you don’t want to fall in that pit. And that moment even you wouldn’t be able to save yourself but surrender to the consequences. But whenever it comes to anyone life, does it have any impact on that person? Some would say ‘yes’ whereas some would deny. It must be because somehow people could find the way to get rid of that. A simple boy, well not so simple in his nature; sometimes a good person also pretends to be a bad person according to the situation. Because he also has some kind of depraved nature. He doesn’t know all the languages of love. As we don’t know what is written in our fate, similarly we never know when love comes and touches our feet. He has many crushes in his life till that one single person comes to his life. After this, his life changes, he senses the aroma of love, he feels how his circumforaneous turns greenish. He experiences how his body electrifies when she touches his cheek or when she kissed him. But as we know, happiness and soreness are two sides of our life. So, by gods’ grace or by fate when it comes, it breakdowns all the happiness in his life. One may blame his personality, his responsibility, and also his love and also blame him. This is the story of a simple middle-class boy who craves for love, but when he experiences that, how love turns his life lucid and ethical to deplorable; for this love how, his career is ruined and how sex changes his career and his fame too. He struggles to gain his fame, his name; but will he gain the same from his friends’ circle or his family? So, how these three things are co-related to each other in his life or any human lives that projects the whole story.

Some grammatical errors are there, but the story caught you in emotional scene.

This is really awkward!! With the understanding that this book has received rave reviews from so many people on various social media channels I am disheartened to share my feelings about the book. My opinion is definitely not in sync with any of those people, and I sincerely apologize to all the fans and the author. It is equally painful for me as it is for any other reviewer . I understand that it takes a lot of hard work for an author to put down his heart-n-soul in one book and share it with the world and my next words are not favorable (please ignore if you have a weak heart) but then that's what book reviews are all about, right! HONEST GENUINE REVIEW!
I felt this book was simply sad. The entire plot of the story revolves around a very generic love story which doesn't make any sense even in the simplest of tenses. Speaking of tenses, there is none in the book. The entire book is full of grammatical errors and the narration is very straight forward diary entry where one paragraph may or may not have any relation with what's coming next. Rather, this book felt like reading a diary entry by 'Manoj Sethy', where he is talking about his everyday life and he has simply converted it into a book and published it.
Other than that, the book is absolutely abrupt, confusing plots, asking for sympathy from its readers and disgusting in terms of demeaning the status of a women. The portrayal of the characters in this book is such that 'MANOJ' is some god-like character for whom the character, 'Sonam' is going head-over-heels and there is an unnecessary character, 'DEVIL' who stands in-between the two and whose presence and existence doesn't make any sense till the end. It is portrayed through the book blurb that 'Manoj' is the sufferer here whose life has changed, faces societal pressure, financially deprived, psychologically depressed and so much more... But after reading this book, my feeling were otherwise. Manoj has a life, a career choice to make, friends and a family to support him in no matter what circumstances could be. A lover who cheats or maybe cheating, 'Manoj' feels his life is over and tries to commit suicide and so much more... (only trying to get attention of the readers to feel sorry for him) Bogus! It's true that people do commit suicide in love, I do have my sympathies with them and feel sorry for them. But, while writing a book the presentation, the narration, the character description needs a LOT OF WORK!
Concluding, I wanted to stop reading after first 5 pages as I was really hoping that at one point the narration might mock the reader but it didn't happen. And after first 35 pages, it was my compulsive disorder that didn't allow me to put the book back down until it's finished. You know that bug in you that says, "let's see how bad could it be?". That's the bug I had!
I have so much more to say, but let's not. I still apologize to the author and hope you get your copy run through for some genuine reviewers and not friends and family. I do feel you have the potential to write, you just need the right push. All the best for your future endeavors.

Love, life, Sex' was published on 30 September 2020 by Evincepub Publishing. This is the second book written by the author Manoj Sethy. His debut novel is 'A dirty world'.
.
" When you don’t expect anything at a stage or moment, the Almighty has already a plan to create some incidents in life"
~ Manoj Sethy, Love, Life, Sex
.
It is a story about a guy named Manoj who was born in a middle-class family in Orrisa. His father didn't want to born while his mother was eagerly waiting to see him cry for the first time. His mother loved him with everything and supported him every time He had two stepbrothers. He grows up and reached the 10th standard. He was doing good in studies till class 10 but was distracted in 11th. He accidentally falls in love with a girl named Sonam but they both were from different castes which made their relationship complicated. The antagonist of this story is 'D', he's Sonam's ex-boyfriend, he tried several times to break Manoj and Sonam's relationship. In his life of chaos and confusion, he had a best friend called Ayush. Ayush was like a lifesaver for him, he always motivated Manoj whenever he felt down, he helped Manoj to solve his problems whenever he was in chaos. He was such a good friend.
This story will take many twists and turns. It will tell you how life can change in seconds, how everything can become nothing.
.
The author had described the discriminations faced by the Character Manoj because he was from a minority community. The author has described the life of a middle-class boy beautifully. The character I liked the most is Ayush, he's generous, kind, helping, and supporting, I too wanted a best friend like him. There is an acute romance between the two characters which I liked. Even some moments were so beautiful that I can't even describe, you'll get to know all these after reading the book. At some points, I found the story very relatable. The pain and sorrow that Manoj experienced were heartbreaking. Though the book is fictional some parts were inspired by real experiences which makes it more realistic.
The language of this book is not tough so beginners can pick it up too.

We always take some people for granted who love us and when they're not with us, we cry for their presence.
.
This book has my heart. The story is about Manoj who is a final year student who belongs to a minority community which later becomes the reason for his grief and suffering. We still believe in the Caste system!
.
Manoj who fell in love with a beautiful girl Sonam but as I said earlier, both of them belong to the different caste which creates obstacles in their relationship every time. Manoj also has to deal with Sonam's ex-bf as he always tries to break their relationship. But true love stays strong no matter what happens.
.
And this is how the story further takes place, a lot is going to happen in Manoj's life even his father never wanted his birth still Manoj stays strong to fight with all the challenges and write his fate and in all that, his best friend stands with him, Ayush.
.
My takes:-
💪 No matter what lives puts on your table, you should never feel sad and disappointed instead get up and get ready to face all the hurdles.
💪 we don't what the almighty has written in our fate but he never restricts us to write it by ourselves. And the one who helps itself, God also helps them.
💪 True love is eternal and if you have the power to love then also have the courage to stand for your love.
💪 The book is also very helpful for the people who have just come into a relationship.

genre- romance
Pages-127
💙Manoj- a final year student, trapped in his own house, in a small city of state Orissa.
Facing the consequences of his own deeds, he recollects how he got into this pothole.
💙Starting from the day when he enters into his preschool, to the end of his final year of graduation, his every sentiment of crush, attraction, adolescent love, intense lovemaking, betrayal, agony everything is there in this book.

💙The storyline is simple not much different than what you must have read earlier, Fast pacing, with natural writing style depicting each scene in quite realistic way.
WHAT I LIKED THE MOST→ This story is non- fiction which makes it more relatable but after one point it became overwhelming.
KEY ELEMENT→ The constant suspicion of who is uttering the truth and who is hiding it made me intrigued.

Rating- 4.7/5

First of all congratulations to the author for his second book. The debut novel of the author came by the name of The dirty world.
Talking about the plot, its quite appreciable. The story revolves around, a boy from a small town, and how suddenly his life takes a turn. Manoj, the protagonist accidentally falls in love with a girl named Sonam but they both were from different castes which made their relationship complicated. The story revolves around Manoj's life and how after he met Sonam, in class 11th his life changed.
The author has expressed, how still discrimination is faced in the country, also the way he has described the life of a Middle class boy, its quite condemnable. I simply loved the language, in which the plot is portrayed. What I loved was the friendship, Ayush was there with him in all his ups and down, and this made me smile from my heart.

This is the second book of this author.
The protagonists were Manoj and Sonam. Manoj was a tall and average-looking guy. Sonam was a beautiful young girl.
When Manoj felt lonely in his life he met Sonam while he is in 11th grade. She was junior to him. He fell for beauty at first sight. He started developing feelings for her but he hasn't taken any initiative to talk to her. Once he got a friend required from an unknown girl. Then he got to know that she was Sonam. He was over the moon by that time. After that started talk to each other.
what happens then? Will, he confessed his love to her? Will they live a happy life? What are the incidents that happened in their life? Was the remaining story of the book.
I felt it was slowly phased. If it has some twist and turns it would have been a wonderful story. I didn't say now it's not good but if it has some more twists it would have been a better story.
The language used in this was Lucid. So beginners could also try to read it. If you are looking for something about teenage love with family drama go for it. It's for you guys.
