My Warmest Sorrow: A Passionate Second Chance Romance
♥ What would you do when you come face to face with your past? ♥
Social media which is often a source of entertainment can be a source of great sorrow as well. Especially alumni WhatsApp groups, as not all memories are pleasant.
When Ajay, now an IAS officer, gets added into his college WhatsApp group, all his classmates welcome him warmly. Except for Jasmine.
Jasmine and Ajay were inseparable while in college. Their relationship had transitioned from being best friends to lovers over the duration of the engineering course. But then fate had intervened, and they became estranged.
Five years of silence have created a wall of sorrow between them. Their interactions in the class WhatsApp group are nothing like what they once used to be. Every moment churns out more anguish and unpleasantness.
Jasmine is still living with the repercussions of what had happened in the past. Ajay's indifference throws her into despair.
What had caused their separation?
Is love still hiding underneath their public facades?
What lies are they concealing?

This book is an unique book with a real life reflection. The book is a fictional work yet it shows the different perspectives of a relationship.
The narration is kept simple and easy making it a good read for all. It's inspired from the real-life experiences & stories, I feel, which is being presented in a beautiful contemporary fiction. In the form of a fictional story, the author tried to potrait a reflection of the human in the present world that leaves a deep impact on our minds.
We as human beings are generally adviced to date a person who has same frequency or vibe, yet we fall out of love. As the time is passing by, we realise that the meaning of love has changed over the time.
The story has many characters in it yet it mainly focuses on two characters, Ajay and Jasmine.
Jasmine are Ajay used to date during their engineering course but they fall out if the relationship. Both were living out if eachother's life yet they came together in a whatsapp group which has their common friends. Will this reunion bring a change in their life? How will this affect them?
The emotions are being well captured by the author. Each character development is well penned down. The layers of each character opens up as we go by the flow of the book.
I have already mentioned that the narration is kept very simple to make it a comfortable read. The flow of the story is so smooth that it can be easily finished in one sitting only. The author has penned down all the characters well.
The language used is lucid. The book is layered beautifully. It was a nice book to read.

A feel-good romance story about second chances and rekindling love.
My ratings: 4/5
Jasmine and Ajay were college sweethearts, inseparable and the best of friends. Cut to five years after college, when they come into each other's lives after going their separate ways. While Jasmine seems to be happily married, Ajay too has moved on with a steady girlfriend by his side. Is their romance really dead though?
What I liked about the book:
-> It narrates the story from both the main character's PoVs.
-> It teaches us that sometimes all we need is a face to face communication for clearing all the misunderstandings.
-> The revelations come bit by bit, helping maintain the curiosity in the minds of readers.
-> For once, it felt good to see that social media, especially WhatsApp was shown in a positive light and led to something good.
What I did not like about the book:
-> It's pretty straightforward and predictable.
Quotable quotes:
->Hope can be a very debilitating thing when shattered. It pierces the very soul.
-> True love lies within you. Do not seek love outside of yourselves.
-> Let your own light shine. Do not dim it for anyone. Each one of us is responsible for our own happiness. Make yourself the priority in your life.
-> You shouldn't shut out the world just because one person chose to throw you out of their world.

My Warmest Sorrow: A Passionate Second Chance Romance
by Preethi Venugopala
While reading this book, I got to learn a lot of things.
This book is a fictitious work, but it shows different views on interpersonal relationships. This is one of his best stories, and it is interesting to read the boy's point of view.
The book begins with a wonderful quote from Rumi. We humans are usually advised to date people with the same frequency or vibration, but we fall in love. Over time, we understand that the meaning of love changes over time.
The author is very sincere to his work, presenting an amazing plot, passionate characters and love topics related to daily life.
As I mentioned before, the narration is very simple and easy to read. The story is so fluid that it can be easily completed in one breath. ...
Great job by Preethi Venugopala mam , and wishing this book heaps of success!
Highly recommended ,
Happy reading😌✌️

It's an anecdotal one however the writer has depicted it with a practical touch and the Author's composing experience is unmistakably noticeable in this. The front of the book is stunning and it holds a picture of a lovely couple.
It's an account of Come back of previous existence and Social Media assumes a significant part in the book. It's said that Social Media which is a wellspring of amusement can be a cause of agony moreover.
The Story goes on with the Alumni Whatsapp bunch where Jasmine and Ajay met after quite a while.
They were admirers of school days yet destiny played a pitiless principle and the two of them isolated. The five years of separation made an inlet between them.
The Author has managed her job sincerely by introducing an amazing plot, enthusiastic characters, and everyday life-related topics of Love.

I had never read a book that started with a WhatsApp group, which made this book very interesting. The backstory, the present, and angst, the emotions, everything was pretty well-written. I do wish there was a little more clarity about the past, but overall it was a very good book 💞
