One More Time
HE WAS YOUNG.
HE WAS LOST.
HE TRIED TO RUN AWAY.
But how far can you run, when
life has other plans for you?
Andrew, a college dropout, wakes up on a
flight to London. He is chasing a life he
cannot yet see. But he believes that this flight
will turn his life around for good.
As the plane lands, flashes of memories flood
his mind and his heart halts at the memory of
a pair of sapphire blue eyes, brown shiny
hair, and a smile that would make the
hundreds and thousands of roses and all the
mountains of Earth bow their heads in shame
and jealousy.
But every time he remembers that face, he
hears a nagging voice in his head, “You don't
have much time left.”

OKAY MATHEW when I started reading your book you didn't warn me that this book is going to break my heart.
If you’re looking for a quick heartbreaking romance story this one is for you.
I wasn't thinking I was going to like it this much and I wasn't prepared to cry this much just from this book!!
The epilogue was the part that broke my heart into a thousand pieces.

“Why couldn't our life be simple and beautiful like this? To find happiness in every little thing that you came across,” are the introspective thoughts of Andrew, the story’s protagonist.
This is a story of an altruistic young man who is traveling through Bali, trying to find himself. While this is ultimately a love story, the writing itself whisks you away in an entertaining and immersive way to the world of the storyteller. The vivid descriptions of the scenery capture almost the tangible feeling of being there. I could smell the sea when he swam and bask in the beauty of his surroundings with him.
Aside from the lovely writing style of the author the story itself is relatable. Love, travel, the feeling of chasing something that is just out of reach is a thing most people can understand. I found myself wanting to know this person more and more and know how his and Ainsley’s story was going to end. The epilogue tied everything off so perfectly. It really took me by surprise and broke my heart, but in a good way. What a pleasure it was to read this debut novel, I absolutely recommend this book to any lover of modern romance stories.

One More Time is a beautiful written novel. It’s a story about Andrew, a medical college dropout who is chasing an unforeseen life. He is roaming freely in Bali and is living his life like the movie Eat Pray Love. He has no idea what the future holds for him. Then he is smitten by the blue sapphire eyed Ainsley. But destiny has other plans for him.
The book is filled with scenic descriptions of Bali. I liked how all the places are described beautifully without going overboard. The book ends on a bitter sweet note. I loved the climax of the book and the way it is written. The book is written in a simple and easy language.
There are very few books which put a smile on your face and this is one among them.

This little book shows a lot of promise from such a young writer. Filled with vivid descriptions and scenic settings, the book will transport you from the beaches of Bali to the quaint little streets of London.One of the things that captured me most was the descriptions of the place, cultures and customs in Bali. It was almost like I was actually there.
Although I do not generally read Romance, this was quite entertaining and the twists and turns in the life of the protagonist keeps you engaged. Really good work for a debutante! Waiting for more!

The perfect ending
I kept reading this book wondering when the conflicts would arise. But the ending came out of nowhere and explained it perfectly. It’s a beautiful story and I could only hope that someone feels about me the way that the main character feels about the love of his life. It was an interesting perspective to read from the point of view that this story was told. I recommend this book.

The plot is simple. But it never fails to keep your attention intact. With each page, as a reader I never lost focus and was not able to put it down.
There are two POVs that makes it all the more easy to understand and also fulfilling reader's hunger to know more.
The book is filled with great emotions. And it's appeasing.
Overall a great book for a debut.
