As the title suggests it truly is 1&1/2 Love Story which revolves around the trio Nimisha, Viraj, and Shriya
Nimisha was always that beautiful and popular girl in college every guy had a crush on. But now she's here At Banglore to visit Viraj. Viraj was always head over heels for Nimisha since college times and now it's like a dream come true week he's living. Then there's Shriya,Viraj's colleague,a rich and almost spoilt girl , who always looks up to Viraj and has ultimately fallen in love with him.
One accidental conference call brings them on the edge and all the three are left vulnerable and craving for true love and trust. But as the author quotes at the top side of book -- "Love Makes Us A Better Person", the three finally gather themselves and the way they sort themselves is quite heart lifting to read.

One and A Half Love Story by Vishal Anand is romance genre book revolving around Viraj, Nimisha and Shriya set in Bangalore. There is love triangle, there is kindness, there is misunderstanding, there is understanding and above all there is love. To know more about Viraj, Nimisha and Shriya and their love story read the book!
With the valentine's week approaching this book would be one of the perfect picks for the vibe. Set in a corporate world, the book gives little insights of corporate parties and it's culture. Written in simple language, detailed characters will make you like the book even more. And last but not least let's just take a moment to appreciate the cover! How beautiful it is?? Simple yet eye catching and also perfectly goes with the storyline.
I would recommend this book to everyone who loves rom coms or want to read something light.

So, basically the book is love triangle with two female and a male characters . The book is quite interesting and fun to read as you can see that author develops the story slowly and steadily by giving enough time to the characters to develop and present themselves before the readers.
The narrative is also smooth and I really enjoyed the ending as well.

Review of a romantic book I recently read: One and a half love story by Vishal Anand
This book is the typical love triangle story between Viraj, Nimisha and Shriya.
The story starts with an interesting prologue and the smooth flow of writing keeps you turning pages to know what happens next? Viraj is an entrepreneur working at a start-up, this is his journey of love
I admire the sweet vibe of the cover. It's designed very nicely. I'm someone who picks the book on basis of cover, so I actually appreciate and mean it. I liked the easy, lucid writing style - even a beginner can read this book. There are mostly conversations and dialogues, which keep the story go smoothly.
The characterization depth is well done of all of the characters, including side characters. The portrayal of one-sided love and heart-break is also something anyone can relate to.
I recommend this book to people who like love stories and want to start reading.

Book: One and Half Love story
Author: Vishal Anand
Publisher: Moments Publication
Genre: Romance
Format: Paperback
Pages: 200
*Spoiler Alert*
Let’s discuss it in depth:
One and a half love story is built around the main character Viraj and the struggle he faces with two women- Nimish and Shriya. Viraj is a simple guy who values simple things in life. He is career-oriented and takes pride in what he has accomplished in his professional life. He has been madly in love with a girl Nimisha since college. He believes that love happens only once so he refuses to give away the special place he has in his heart for Nimisha.
Soon Shriya comes into his life and leaves no stone unturned to convince Viraj that she is madly in love with him. Viraj does respect her feelings but says that he thinks of her as nothing more than a friend. Shortly after Shriya comes into his life Viraj and Nimisha decide to be a couple. Things are going great but Nimisha accidentally finds out about Shriya and believes that there is something going on between Shriya and Viraj. Convinced that Viraj has cheated on her, Nimisha decides to cut all ties. This sends Viraj spiraling down who is trying desperately to make things right.
Book Review:
In all honesty, this book was a guilty pleasure. At places it made me feel like- ‘No, that does not happen’. On the other hand, it felt like ‘Yup! That’s exactly how it happens’. The author's personification of Viraj is simple. He is a kind gentleman, quite old school, and knows that hard work pays off. While reading this book I have realized that Viraj, as a person, is attracted to strong personalities.
Both Nimisha and Shriya are well endowed. They both have abandonment issues since they live in India all by themselves. Their parents choose to settle abroad while the girls made their careers in India. Both Nimisha and Shriya are strong in their own ways. They can have the entire world to themselves. But the question that arises here is- why did both these women love Viraj?
My theory is neither of them loved Viraj. For both of them Viraj represented a male figure which they desperately wanted in their life. They both fell in love with Viraj’s kindness. Viraj being a gentleman has always been respectful and helped both these women at different points in time. They loved Viraj for his values. Once you read the book, you will realize that Viraj, despite being mad at Shriya for literally destroying his relationship with Nimisha, helps Shriya after the tragic accident. This is what made me question the feeling of both Nimish and Shriya. One does not fall in love with a person just because they took care of you after an accident.
I think it was their desire to have a male figure in life- strong, someone whom they could rely on which made both Nimisha and Shriya have feelings for Viraj. In the book there comes a point, post-breakup, when Nimisha confesses that she didn’t feel a spark between herself and Viraj. There is no further explanation as to why she says that or is it even true.
Coming to the literature, I would say that it is a little amateur in places. The beginning is a little rocky but eventually, it wraps you in a sense of reality. As you progress you realize that this is how things happen in real life. People take risks and jump hoops for people they love.
In many ways, I could connect with Viraj as a person. He is one of the most philosophical characters. He is one of those characters whom you hate in the beginning but eventually start loving.

My Thoughts:
The plot is nicely developed and I liked how the author started the story with the current time where the misunderstanding develops between Nimisha and Viraj and takes the readers to a flashback where we get to know how the story actually begins for our characters. I also liked how the author has played with the different timelines taking the readers back and forth between and making the readers curious to know what is going to happen next.
The characters are well developed. The readers will surely feel connected to the characters. I especially liked the character of Viraj who is a thorough gentleman and even after going through all this he is trying his best to overcome all the difficulties and clear the misunderstandings.
Language is simple and lucid. The narration is done beautifully and we can actually get a feel as if the story is happening right in front of us.

FAB - BOOK REVIEW OF "One And A Half Love Story" by Vishal Anand
Genre - Fiction(Contemporaray Romance)
Rating - 4.5/5
QOTD: Do you believe in love at first sight?
37+Grace Marks a book that is a roller coaster ride filled with love, comedy, life, and most importantly, beautiful bonds that we go through in our lives. So I had already read that book, to be precise, I had read that book a while back when I just started out with reading, so then. Even now, I love that book, so that book is ended on a surprise note and not getting know what the author was is trying to say from the ending. As I am a beginner, I don't know that that suspense will lead to a sequel of it 😅 But yeah, I got to know that this book "One and A Half love" book is the sequel of the fantastic book "37+Grace Marks."
.
Of course, we have Viraj here, and now he is working in a startup in Banglore, and let me tell you a secret I think you know it if you read the 1st part of the book. Yeah, you got it right. Viraj is still in love with Nimisha. Likewise, we have Nimisha in this part of the book too. Of course, they will be there as they are the protagonists of the book. With both of them, we have another main character in the book, which is "Shriya."
.
Nimisha and Viraj are in love with each other. So on account of Valentine's week, she has come to Banglore, where Viraj is currently working. And that's how the story goes on, and there is much more to say about this book, but it will be great if only one can read it and feel it.
.
The characters are beautifully developed. If you have read the first part of the book, you will have the chance to connect to the characters even better. Even I suggest you read the first part of the book and then the second part to create a bond with an imaginary person or feelings, which we as readers love to do so. The language is lucid. And the story repeatedly switches from past to present. We will have clarity about it, so no need to worry about it. The plot is excellent, and the book is fast-paced, so one can read this in one sitting.

I'm giving this book five stars because of its simplicity,easy to understand and glossy cover page.Book start with the introduction of Viraj,who is employee in the startup and had a crush on his classmate girl named Nimisha.Viraj is waiting for her at airport because he was going to meet her after a long time. For him it was just like a dream which was going to be real.He was on the seventh Heaven.
In this book ,the third main character is Shriya,who is Viral's colleague rather friend. Shriya is helpful for him,which Viraj also likes. But in this there came a feeling of misunderstanding and situations got worse. Nimisha thought something wrong,which really doesn't happen. Viraj broke down after Nimisha left him alone ,he sunk himself in more responsibilities, work to forget these things. He also tried to connect with her,but couldn't. He then decided to go to Pune.Will he be able to convince her to go with him?
I felt awesome while reading this book, i couldn't put it down,to know what will happen next.
One must read this book.
Love has the power to place you among the stars, but it also has the power to slam you down, hard! So much, that you can never get up again.Love can change a person thoroughly.❤❤❤❤

The story revolves around three main characters Viraj, Nimisha and Shriya. Viraj, middle-class boy loves Nimisha a lot but it's only a one-sided love. Nimisha being a very career-oriented girl doesn't reciprocal his love. While they are the best friends who care for each other, Viraj hopes someday Nimisha would love him back.
Everything is going well until Shriya comes into his life. Shriya is a colleague of Viraj who loves him despite knowing his feelings towards Nimisha. The story focuses on this triangle love story. Will Nimisha reciprocate Viraj's love? Will Viraj forget Nimisha and move on with his life? Is Shriya just his colleague or is there something else to the story?
The story is a typical triangle love story that we read every day. Although the story is narrated well I could not feel connected to the story. But the characterization and the plot was really good. There was not much of the emotional touch to the story not there was any surprising element. If you love reading simple love stories then you can give this book a read. Overall it was a good book but expected more.

For a long time, I wanted to read something light to alleviate my mood, and I stumbled upon this book by Vishal Anand. The book is very entertaining and emotional at the same time. It tells the story of Viraj, who loved Nimisha from college days. He confessed his feeling for Nimisha from day 1, but she was not ready. An accident changed everything for them. Nimisha came to celebrate Valentine's week with Viraj in Bangalore. She lied to her office at Pune. The week was memorable. I loved the narration as the two stories were going parallel. One with Shriya and the other with Nimisha during valentine's week. Shriya, on the other hand, was a new employee at the office of Viraj who was selected by him and Shloka, his colleague. Shriya was rich and lived a luxurious life. She fell in love with Viraj. The climax comes when Nimisha leaves Viraj and the unfortunate accident of Shriya. I loved the ending because I was anticipating the same ending. The narration was comprehensible and a light-hearted story. A sweet love story that is recommended to everyone who wants to lighten up their mood.

" ONE AND A HALF LOVE STORY"
penned by author Vishal Anand.
This book was a light read. The character portrayal was great. The tone was quite radiant and soft. The language is lucid and clear, so beginners can go for this without any second thought. The writing style could have been better but the narration is good and engaging. The emotions racing between three protagonists from each of their views were beautifully portrayed. The end is however predictable to me, so that was a disappointment. The cover is in yellow but which is quite attractive and the title is very well inclined with the plot. Overall this book is a blend of love, hate, jealousy, trust issues, and much more. This story has the power to transform into a commercial movie. I would recommend this book to all romantic book readers who love reading commercially hit romantic books in India. My best wishes to the author!

Recently I went to a nearby bookstore after a long time and my eyes went on this beautiful cover of a book called "one and a half love story." Although I am not someone who prefers reading romance fiction, yet after much thought I decided to give it a read as the blurb specified seemed quite simple and interesting.
.
.
Why I got this book?
1. Beautiful cover page
2. A good simple storyline
3. Good font size (for a person like me who wear glasses)
4. One time interesting read
5. Economic price of the book
.
.
Storyline- This book by Vishal Anand revolves around three people i.e. Nimisha, Viraj and Shriya... It's kind of love triangles that we usually witness in Bollywood cinema however author has tried conveying the story in very interesting manner. The language used is quiet simple and hence I think this book can be picked up by beginners too. Whom and why Viraj chooses at the end of the story will leave the readers wondering.... So don't waste your time and grab your copy now.... :) Happy reading

I know my review is to be about what’s inside the book but it’s cover plus the pages are so pretty. The pages are thick and the font size is just perfect. I might also have sniffed the pages a few times.
The story is narrated in two timelines that perfectly come together in the end. Viraj is working in a small start up company in Bangalore where he is introduced to Shriya, who is the newest addition to the company and he has been given the task to train her. While Shriya develops feelings for Viraj she is unaware his heart already belongs to someone else.
I liked the characters and the plot was interesting too. The book highlights the negative effects of having a toxic and manipulative person in your life and though it does not speak directly on it, it conveys the message clearly.
The writing was good but the storyline could have been more interesting. The start was slow, there wasn’t much happening and the pace of the book remained slow till the end.

Fascinating love tale
The book is halved into three half's LOVE, HATE, and OTHER FILTERS with the three main characters Nimisha, Viraj, and Shriya.
The story is a love triangle in the backdrop of corporate lifestyle in the travelogue of Bangalore.
The story starts in February, jumps to November, and finally sets off in February, and Valentine's day has significance in the plot.
The corporate setting adds much color to the delightful love tale. Coming to the plot Viraj and Shriya are good friends but Nimisha Rungta mistook their affection at another level drifts apart with Viraj.
An accidental conference call ruins his relationship.
But As usual like all the other love endings they both get-together and Shriya bids goodbye.
The exciting part is the conversation between them which is so lively and intrinsic. And the simple ongoing language makes it easy for readers to get glued to it and enjoy the love buds with the tender frames of words.

"isn't it weird? Considering physical beauty as the only criteria for loving someone or being loved. Beauty is a delusion. Love makes us all beautiful."
.
A simple tale on love and how it can influence people on different aspects. Viraj is an ordinary typical Indian bachelor who is madly in love or say madly indulged in a one sided love for Nimisha. Well, eventually she too reciprocates the same feelings but little did they know someone was going to interrupt their perfect little love story. Shriya who is in desperate search for love thus searching for a true purpose for her life meets Viraj and finds him a reliable trustworthy person. She too falls for him and complicates the entire situation. Will Viraj be able to find peace in between all this Chaos of a "triangle" love story?! that's what this book is all about. Highly recommended if you are looking for a sweet romantic story.

Story revolves around 3 people- Nimisha, Viraj and Shriya. Nimisha travels all way down to Banglore to meet Viraj. Then unexpected events happen where she gets to know about Shriya. What happens next? Who is Shriya? Why is it one and half ? I really liked the way how author had written it in a decent way. Its quite a medium paced story. Beginner friendly and good charcater connect. My personal opinion is that few occurrences of bar and drinks might have avoided. The best part is that the story is touchy and emotional in its own way.

The book's preface itself managed to pique my interest! It started rather curiously itself and the book then gradually disclosed the entire story. The flow of the book was indeed very nicely maintained and the end too did not disappoint me.
I must confess though that the characters could have been written in a slighlty better manner. 'Curvy girl, full lips, long hair' appealed to me when I was a teen. But now, I find it too shallow!

One And A Half Love Story is a tale about a love triangle, more of a misunderstanding between two people in love, with poor communication skills, leading to a thrid person taking advantage.
Ah, a perfect love story starts! But where's the triangle yet? It's Viraj's hot office mate, Shriya. Will Viraj and Nimisha find their ways back to each other?
Perhaps, you'll have to read the book!

The story revolves around three people Viraj, Nimisha, and Shreya. Viraj an aspiring and hardworking boy works in a startup in Bangalore. Nimisha a beautiful and confident girl who came to Banglore to celebrate Valentine's week with Viraj. Viraj is madly in love with Nimisha since college time. Shreya colleague of Viraj belongs to a rich family and carefree. She also fell for Viraj. He cleared with Shreya that they both are just good friends. But the misunderstandings make Viraj’s life upside down. What happens next?
The story is written in different timelines, and the author did a great job to maintain it by his amazing narration. The writing style is very simple. The author executes all the characters very strongly. But the storyline could be more interesting. Though this is a modern love story with full drama, jealousy, and manipulative elements. Overall, it is a decent book to read.

Rating: 4/5
This is the story of Viraj , Nimisha and Shriya. Due to some call of Shriya, a misunderstanding builts in between the other two. What happened exactly and whether the issues are resolved or not. What were Shriya doing in the whole story? Read, Read to know more… I really like how the characters were built and the narrative was so good that I could feel everything happening right infront of my eyes. One can feel the depth of pain of one sided love in this book. Besides, reader will also cherish and appreciate the office /Corporate culture shown, parties, and above all the love story.
Language is really easy . Reader can read it in one go. Cover page is beautiful. What an irony , sunflower is symbolic of friendship and rose flower is symbolic of love. Despite the fact that it is one and half story, the cover has sunflowers , and not red roses. I personally felt that the cover page is really beautiful. I really liked the whole story but I was bit unsatisfied with the end of the story. I donot know but it could have ended in a matured way. Title does justice to the theme and plot of whole story. The line “ Love makes us a better person” touches our heart and soul.
Why one should read this: This book has the vibes of whole valentine week , there is a love triangle. It is also like a travelogue of Bangalore. It has a lot of emotions. While I found myself laughing and happy at some places, at other places I found myself sad, going with a flow of the story. Get a copy and this love story.

What will you do if one day you find a girl saying she had a great time with your beloved and wants to spend all her life in his arms? And the only thing you know about her is that you don’t know anything about her.
These lines made me go for this book. A usual love triangle story but with a pinch of spice. I usually don't prefer reading romantic novels but this one kept me hooked till the end.
Love.....how do you define love??? The book made me question the feelings the characters had. Do they really loved???
If you love romantic reads or if you are a new reader, then, go for it, you won't be disappointed.

Wow this book was rollercoaster of emotions. At the end of the book, I finally understand why the title is one and half love story and it was completely apt for this book. The tagline of the book is " Love makes us a better person." and this has deep meanings in this book.
The narration in the book was in 2 seperate timelines but it was written parallel to each other. So it kept shifting between past and present, somewhere it lost the fluidity. But the point at which the two timelines merged, it all made sense.
The story is about 3 individuals( Viraj, Nimisha and Shriya) and their love. Viraj has been in love with Nimisha since college days but she never reciprocated it then. But after an unfortunate accident, sparks fly. Whereas, Shriya works in Viraj's office and Viraj mentors her. Shriya is a spoilt rich kid who is only looking for true companionship in life.
Will Shriya's quest ruin Viraj's life? How does all their lives entangle? Who does Viraj end up with? Read to find out!
The ending was pretty nice. It was enrapturing. Overall, it was engaging read. Looking for a romance to start off the new year? This is the one for you.

This is the story of love and friendship. The story revolve around Viraj, Nimisha and Shriya set in Bangalore.
Viraj had a crush on Nimisha since the first time he set his eyes upon her in college. Nimisha has come to Bangalore for a week to spend valentine’s day with Viraj. But a conference call with Shriya changes it all.
It was a good story. I loved the message it gave. Shriya was my favourite character. Even though she was a rich spoilt child in the beginning, she has learnt a lot and changed by the end. There were many beautiful quotes in the book.
I did not like that Viraj would do anything Nimisha told him. He wouldn’t be himself around her and let her know his likes and dislikes. They would only do things that Nimisha likes to do. It was as if he was not a person of his own and did not have any likes and dislikes of his own

Just like a coin has two inseparable sides, love also has its good and bad side which are inseparable and once again I got the proof about brightness and darkness of love through this book.
This book narrates the story of three human beings, Nimisha, Viraj and Shriya, who are fighting to live in this world where messy emotions play with heart and society plays with mind.
At the beginning, I must say that I was not able to grasp the plot. It was more like a telling of some incidents of Viraj's life but despite that something was pulling me to continue and it was when I reached at the middle or maybe a bit before that, I fell in love with this book. So, shall I say the beginning part is slow-paced and boring? Not at all! Day to day lives of Bangalore along with some tourist spots as the backdrop and let's not forget the male protagonist, Viraj, through him I could actually feel the rush of Bangalore. And I must say that the author's power to show us each and every moment happening in the book rather than only telling, blew my mind off. Good settings accompanied with beautiful descriptions are always a treat for me and the author has done a great job there. I loved the light-heartedness at the beginning of the book which is shown through Viraj and Nimisha's initial stages of love.
Now let's discuss the themes which touched my heart:
1. "Men's don't cry." This particular dialogue hit me hard right at the beginning as it's true that still now if a man is seen crying, it becomes a sign of weakness or 'behaving like a girl.' Sigh! I will only say that every human being has the right to be vulnerable and cry, be it any one.
2. Parents' love or parents' money? Shriya's character screams how much love is necessary in today's world and if anyone lacks love, mainly parents', what disaster it can bring to one's life. And this is exactly what happened to Shriya where she kept on reminding me about the person who was throwing hands and feet as she kept on trying to hold the caring and loving feeling which she found in Viraj and the more she couldn't get hold of that straw the more she became desperate.
3. One-sided love. Every human being has the right to love any one but when it starts to ruin your loved one and mainly you, it's better to let it go and as stated by Viraj in this book, Love makes one a better person.
4. Relationship and its trials. Is love enough to keep a relation going? This book has the answer where it has clearly showed what a misunderstanding if not communicated and cleared within time, can even make one lose love, mainly when the distance is long physically.
5. Insecurities. Nimisha's character clearly states what insecurities do to a person. Though she was beautiful outside, her inner securities plays a huge role in her relationship with Viraj.
So, my dear friends... I will recommend all of you to read this beautifully plotted and engagingly narrated book because, maybe the characters are fictitious but I can say that the story here can be relatable to many.
Thank You.
