✳️'Unhooked & Unbooked' by Dr. Aditya R. Nighhot is a book that revolves around love, fame, friendship, desire and ego. This is a contemporary romance novel that will attract the reader to the story right from the very beginning.✳️

🔹“𝑭𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒄𝒉𝒂𝒓𝒂𝒄𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒔 - 𝑭𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝑷𝒂𝒔𝒕𝒔 - 𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝒏𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒎𝒂𝒏𝒚 𝒍𝒊𝒗𝒆𝒔 𝒂𝒇𝒇𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒆𝒅 !”🔹

✳️KD is a famous Rock star with millions of fans. Youngsters worship him as an idol. He's passionate, self centric, alcoholic and a womanizer. But when he met a stranger in the midst of a stadium, his heart trembled. He fell in love with a girl right then and there. Tia is now KD's only weakness. Can Tia change KD back to his former self; the loving and caring Kunal? Or is she on her way to breaking his heart?

Sameer has been in love with his best friend Isha for a long time. In character, both are polar opposites. Sameer is a nerd who believes in true love while Isha does not take romantic relationships seriously. She is afraid of commitment. Can Sameer gain Isha's heart and make her realize the value of sincere love in life? Read on to find more about these four interesting characters and how they will encounter each other.✳️

🔹“𝑳𝒐𝒗𝒆 𝒊𝒔 𝒍𝒊𝒌𝒆 𝒎𝒆𝒅𝒊𝒄𝒊𝒏𝒆; 𝑰𝒇 𝒕𝒂𝒌𝒆𝒏 𝒊𝒏 𝒆𝒙𝒄𝒆𝒔𝒔 𝒌𝒊𝒍𝒍𝒔 !”🔹

✳️This book gave me the impression like I was watching a Bollywood web series. All the characters, their personalities and emotions were easy to comprehend and relate. It was as if we knew them face to face. Even the author is one of the secondary characters in the story. I liked that idea 😅. There's a bunch of songs in this book. I enjoyed singing them while I was reading. The lines were quite beautiful. There is much that can be learned from this story. Each incident teaches us an important lesson. And It's truly shocking that this story is inspired from true events.✳️

🔹“𝑻𝒐𝒔𝒔𝒆𝒔 𝒅𝒐𝒏'𝒕 𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒚 𝒅𝒆𝒄𝒊𝒅𝒆 𝒐𝒏𝒆'𝒔 𝒇𝒖𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒆. ”🔹

✳️The cover reminded me of Kdrama and Kpop. I loved it. And the rhyming title, it was really catchy. The language used here was straightforward. The dialogues were in Hindi (Hinglish) and it was translated into English in paranthesis. But this has not reduced the sentiment/impact that the author was trying to convey. I would recommend this book if you're looking for a fast paced emotional read.✳️

Four characters with different pasts. But an incident changes everything. After that their lives become interconnected.
It takes us through a tale of friendship,desire, ego and love. It shows us how a person's decisions can turn his life upside down in a fraction of seconds.
KD is a popular singer . But he is egoistic and alcoholic . He has a weakness, Tia - a struggling model hungry for fame.
Isha is a social media queen who is fighting demons from her past relationship. Sameer is her friend . He is pure hearted and believes in real love . He has a feeling for Isha.
It is not just a typical romance novel. It also conveys some messages. It talks about the cyber crimes. It also sheads light about toxic and abusive relationships. Also highlights some other social issues.
The characters are well developed. But I couldn't digest some parts especially the how the police officer reacted when a women raised a complaint about a cyber crime.

I don't know why but I am still not liking the author's writing style, the character development and scenes feel like they are not true. This read felt like an unbelievable Bollywood movie.

As always I don't want to bore you with the summary of the story which is already given by the author above. Let’s dig into the review right away.


Review: This is a story that wraps Love, Lust, Fame, Kindness and Madness in a tangly plot which surprisingly is easier to read. The story begins with suspense and then all the characters and their substories are revealed as the plot progresses forward. There are too many emotions in it and most of them are valid if not some. 


The characterization of each of the characters in the story is good. But there are some issues like the past of Isha. I had no clue as to why she behaves the way she does here, maybe that is a continuation of the author’s previous books? I am not sure. But her background could have been portrayed a bit better. Without those explanations it seems like the author wants us to hate Isha which he achieves successfully, but then I couldn’t empathize with her as much as Sameer did at the end.


Though the portrayal of KD is good, with many films in the same niche it seemed a bit cliche. This book says so much about practical abuse that is common in many relationships and it's time that we give some attention to this overshadowed issue. I feel KD’s friend/manager is underrated, his character was the most practical of all and I personally like him the most.


What I found weird is the in between wisdom quotes from the author himself. The writing style the author has chosen is quite familiar with the Indian readers, but the sudden sprinkle of life quotes here and there were quite disturbing. Not only did it rupture the good flow of the plot, it also made each chapter appear as a moral story with a moral at the end. I am sure that was not the intention of the author, so such quotation could have been incorporated along with the thoughts of protagonists or the storyteller. Then again I think that would not suit the third-person/author-friend writing style. 


 This book has many strong moral opinions in them, which I appreciate. I would encourage you to explore all those opinions in Unbooked and Unhooked 


Verdict/Rating: Overall this is a good book, an honest attempt/experimentation(at least it looked like it to me). The author has come up with a good tale, very good characterization and has experimented with his writing style too. The set and pace of the plot is also good. I would give this book a 3.5-⅘ stars for all his efforts.


Recommendation: I would recommend this book to any beginners(readers) as the language is pretty simple and the plot is easy to understand. I finished the book in a couple of hours with ease. 


Happy Reading!

PS: Note to Author- Hi Adithya, you have done a very good job with this book. I would love to see your upcoming novels and how you experiment in them. Also, a suggestion from your reader - try to reduce the usage of the same words again and again. All the very best.

Love is a beautiful feeling. If nurtured with care, it blooms; When the ego strikes it hurts.

Popular and talented singer KD has everything on his platter; Money, fame and success but was living a life devoid of love.

His life took a turn when two talented struggling model or singer Tia and Rishi enter his world.

With the help of KD, they not only got fame but start touching the heights of their career.

🌼 But would they repay for his help or in turn start causing damage to his life & career?

On the other hand,
Isha is a rich, beautiful and spoiled social media queen who likes attention , believes in casual dating and makes derogatory comments on people for their looks.

Just the opposite of her, Sameer is a decent boy from a middle-class family who respect others, believes in true love and has feelings for Isha but always gets the friend zone by her.

🌼 What will happen when casual dating and toxic comments create havoc in Isha's life?

🌼 Will she be able to understand Sameer's true love or will end up losing him forever?

To know this, you have to read this book.

From the beginning to the end I failed to find a single flaw in the book.

Every character is well crafted & by each page, your curiosity to read the next one will def. gonna increase.

It's one of the best love stories, that I have read so far.
If you like romance stories this one is best to go with.

The story of the lives of 4 people who somehow meet and get tangled with each other for the most significant lessons of their lives. It is a nice book combined together in a good way. However, there were a few things which I found a bit problematic personally. But seeing overall it was a different and reality-based book with a different theme highlighting some big issues present within. I had a satisfactory experience reading it.

Sometimes we fall in love at first love but sometimes it takes time, like a chapter by chapter this story took my heart. In the beginning, I was in love with the first character than the second and then loved the whole book. Thank you to the author for writing such a great book that everyone wants to read and never want the story to complete.

Review- Book is amazing for those who are kind of bollywood fan (like me ), full of emotions, characters, heartbreak love,lust and a beautiful story line . Full of emotions yet written in a very simple way so reader can easily capture the light.
My personal favourite character was of Isha , the way she has been presented looks like she is a diva 🌸
Apart from story , you can feel the complications of now a days relationship , love and promises. This is the point where it shows reality.
And yes first love is never the last one.......
I liked the way all different point of story line of characters collided .

🌸Synopsis- Book revolves around four main protagonists - KD ,Isha, Tia ,Sameer. All four are very different from each other. KD ,a rockstar, Tia a struggling model, Sameer a nerd and Isha, fashion queen , there path collides one night and then everything changes for them .( Keeping it short Not to spoil suspense)

“Life is circular. It starts and ends in a circle. Things always happen for a reason.”

Unhooked & unbooked is a tale about life and love. It shows how our life is not just about us. Our story is entwined with many others to form one big picture. The plot revolves around how the lives of 4 different characters come together one night. KD is an egoistic superstar, Tia is a struggling model, and Sameer is an engineering student who is madly in love with his long time friend, Isha, a social media diva who is still trying to cope with her last break-up.

The book captures the dark side of fame well. Oscar Wilde once said that artists are weird, they do anything in the world to gain a reputation. As soon as they have one, they seem to want to throw it away. KD is no exception. He struggled his way from the bottom to reach the top. But along with fame, comes ego and arrogance. And though he has a kind and compassionate side to him, it is unable to stop his downfall. What happens with KD and Tia shows how media acts for TRP at the expense of other people's mental health, giving no care in the world about how it will destroy someone’s personal life or career. I got the impression that the author has tried to weave Isha and KD’s story together. Both deal with fame at different levels and struggle to handle it with dignity. They seemed to have a superiority complex. But at the same time, deep down they have a kind heart. Finally, both make some wrong decisions that can almost ruin their lives.

Another main theme of the story is how people are becoming victims of cybercrimes. It accurately represents the current status of relationships in today’s time where people judge each other only based on their superficial features. It also highlights the public's refusal to take cyberbullying seriously.

At last, the story portrays how we always get a second chance in life and love. Sometimes we need to close the door to our messed-up past to move on to better things. The plot is fast-paced, written in short crisp chapters and can be easily read in one sitting. I’d recommend it for beginner readers as the plot and writing style are easy to understand.

Book Review: Book-"

Unhooked & Unbooked" 

Author: "Dr. Aditya R. Night" 

Genre: "Fiction, Drama, and Romance" 

The book cover and the title "Unhooked and Unbooked" set the theme of the book perfectly. The title throws light on the status of relationships in the current generation.But the book cover presents the yearning we all have for that one everlasting love that we deeply desire. The author, "Dr. Aditya," has done a good job exploring the behavioural aspects of youth, which are reflected in the novel.

This is the story of four characters with different journeys who tragically collide one night.

The four protagonists are

'KD is a rockstar who is eccentric and egoistic.heart of gold which is overshadowed by his self-centeredness and obsessive behaviour towards his love interest. Will this lead to his downfall? 

'Sameer is a smart boy madly in love with his friend but is friend zoned. Will he be loved back? 

Isha-Gorgeous and makes heads turn everywhere she goes. A Social media sensation. But is love in her cards? 

'Tia is an upcoming actress who is dedicated to her love. But is love enough to sustain a relationship?

The novel takes on their journey, which includes both painful past memories and present-day affairs. Their choices land them in a mess.

Whenever I hold you close, so tight,

everything around you feels so right. 

And I just don’t want to let you go,

 because if I do, my heart feels low. 

If there is a day when we fall apart, and

 you are not close to my heart,

That day would be my last day alive,

 because, without you, I just can’t survive. "

This is one of the many songs and poems that we can read in the book that beautifully captures the feelings of a lover who cannot and will not survive without his love. The books give one such example of a love story, which is truly amazing. Reflective of today's fast-paced world, love is a mere comfort or an arrangement. But this love reaffirms the existence of love and spreads its wings to embrace us and fill our hearts with hope.

 Don’t give a fuck about your first love, give a round of applause for your second love, because they taught you that love still exists after you thought it could never happen again. True, we are sometimes so engulfed by the pain of the past and so deeply involved in the search for what has been lost that we ignore what is beside us and yearning to be with us.The author has sent out a realistic message through this quote and the story of the protagonists. 

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed reading this fast-paced book, which reflects the many passions and follies of the human heart and yet makes us believe that there is always a second chance in life and love. All we need to do is embrace it.

The story revolves around 4 different persons KD, Tia, Sameer & Isha.

KD is a rockstar a superstar singer who is the heartbeat of thousands of youth & their youth icon. But we know success always brings arrogance & that is what actually happened with him. He is egoistic, arrogant stubborn & never see people as human beings but as a puppet of his hand.
.
On the other hand Tia who is a struggling model & one of the biggest fan of KD. When both of them met each other a spark started sparkling within KD's heart.
.
The second one is about Sameer & Isha.
.
Sameer who is a studious serious & bookworm who just focused on his study is deeply in love with his long day friend Isha. But Isha is a social media diva who is far away from the realistic world & always in the virtual world. She loves to spend more time in Instagram rather than her physically meeting friends. But the reality is she is still in the trauma of her previous relationship & she is trying to cope up from it.

👉𝐏𝐎𝐒𝐈𝐓𝐈𝐕𝐄𝐒 :-
🙂 Cover of the book is okeyish. It's not that great & seemed to be copied from Aashiquee 2
🙂 Writing style of the book is nice smoothly flowing which is an emotional journey where there is love betrayal friendship madness of love everything you are going to encounter.
🙂 Language used in the book is simple & easily understandable. You can read it without any sort of difficulties.
🙂 Characterization of the book is quite good. All the characters are developed nicely portrayed wonderfully in the book.
🙂 Narration of the book is not so unique. After some point I feel it's just like another romantic read without any sort of improvisation
🙂 The transition of two stories can be more smooth & more precise.
🙂 Pace of the book is good. It's not so slow nor too fast perfectly paced.
🙂 It's going to be an one time read where there is loopholes but you can enjoy a sweet & simple love story through author's pen.

🍁If you are a beginner to read, I definitely recommend it for you as the language used is simple & easy to understand.
🍁Let's together go on a journey that is inspired from true events and is all about mad love, ego and obsession and find out what happens when the four-characters meet at some point in life only to make life a big mess!
🍁From the award-winning bestselling author comes another heart-warming tale of two couples and two contrasting relationships, emphasizing on selfless and selfish love. KD is obsessed for stardom but what will happen if the same stardom goes away from him? Will he still stand upright? Love for Tia is all about the other person but what if love for the other person is all about himself? Will Sameer ever gather courage to convey his feelings to Isha and get away from being friend-zoned? Will Isha ever get out of her past and move on in life? Will they all together redefine love and get over their problems?
🍁 At the end of everything, life actually a movie. A few characters play a lead role, a few play a negative role, while a few, play a supporting role in your life. All of them have their own screen presence and together they all make a film with you being the lead character. Each character comes in your life to teach you a lesson and his or her role is actually limited to that period of time.
🍁If you love yourself, you love others. If you hate yourself, you hate others, because in a relationship with others, the other person is nothing but a mirror. We often make the biggest mistake in a relationship by being possessive. If you love a flower, don't pluck it, because if you pluck it, it dies and ceases to be what you once loved it to be. So, if you love a flower, let it be as it is because love is not about being possessive, it is all about accepting and appreciating the person as he/she is.
🍁The climax had important message to everyone!!

Assalamu Alaikum 😊, 'One thorn of bad experience is actually with a whole wilderness of warning' - lines from the book

Book📗: 'Unhooked& Unbooked' by Dr. Aditya R. Nighhot

Genre 📸: Romantic suspense/ Romantic Ficti9n
_______________
Overall Ratings 🌟 : 4.5 / 5
Pages📚: 288
Language : Easy and Elegant
Safemark 💫 : 2 / 5
(Safemark - It denotes that the safety with the presence of Erotic/Romantic content. 5 denotes the presence of no such content and 4.5 denotes the little occurrence and likewise)
______________
💛 KD, an egoistic, alcoholic and a sex starved person is going through a down phase in his celebrity career. His only weakness is Tia, a struggling model. Isha, a charming and pretty social media diva, is battling with her past. Meanwhile Sameer, an innocent pure hearted nerd believes in true love and waits for the day when Isha would accept him. 4 characters, 4 path, one night and many lives affected!!!

💛 I feel this book mainly deals with current couple scenarios and modern culture. But it does have a good lesson at the end. I did expect a different climax for Tia but still author justified her story right from her perspective.

💛  Personally, I do feel intolerance towards Isha's action, but there is a good lesson followed up for her deeds. Fame is the deadliest drug that makes KD loose his senses. Neatly weaved plot with free flowing language is really intriguing for the readers. It does have some over romantic(/erotic) contents along.

💛 Some people are hurt from inside but don't want to express themselves. Some people don't accept their mistakes and blame others due to ego and arrogance. Some are too naive to give up on close ones. All we need in our life is acceptance and updation of our current version. That gives inner satisfaction and peace. This is what i felt the theme of the book after reading.

The book is a mixture of two love stories. One story is of a famous singer KD falling in love with his fan Tia who was a struggling actress. The other story is of Sameer and Tia where they are very good friends and where Tia is a extrovert girl and was in a habit to party and enjoy her life on her own terms.
•••
• KD was a very famous singer but he was a bit arrogant personality . His life turned over as the new comer named Rishi came in the industry and directors started choosing him over KD. KD helped Tia in reaching heights in the acting industry but their relationship went into question when KD was going through his struggling days and Tia started getting more engaged with Rishi.
~~~
• Tia never wanted to commit a serious relationship as she never believed in true love after her breakup. An incident happened with Tia which made Sameer more close to her but their story wasn't going to be end up happily without any problem and that problem will definitely make you cry.
~~~
The storyline is great . It look me a little time to read the whole book as i wasn't able to keep it aside . The story is so engaging and the basic crisp happened in between. At the last , there were moments when I felt this should not be ended this way but the author didn't make us sad and end it on a happy note. The title of the story is apt and you will get to know when you will read the whole story.

📙 Book: Unhooked & Unbooked
Author: Dr. Aditya R. Nighhot (@adityanighhot)

I would like to say that the language and writing style of this book is very simple, which is a plus point of this book. This is my first read by this author. While reading this book there was a desire to know what happened next in the story and it was this curiosity that I quickly finished the entire plot with interest.

Two stories run together in this book, how they connect at the climax, you will get to know after reading this book. The first story is about a superstar singer KD. KD struggled a lot before becoming a star singer, but it is said that the intoxication of stardom drowns everyone. KD is also a brash arrogant superstar who doesn't appreciate the people around him, not even his love interest Tia.

The second story is of a spoiled girl Isha. Isha has a lot of followers on Instagram. Isha has lost faith in love because of her previous breakup, she now believes in just dating and hookups.

Sameer is Isha's best friend and is in love with her but he is friend-zoned. It is very interesting to read how social media will change Isha's life forever.

In this book, you will get to read about revenge, ego, love, and a mixture of different emotions. I would suggest choosing this book if you want to read a good story.

"Love is like medicine; if taken in excess kills!"

✓The moment I got to know that this book is written by Dr. Aditya R. Nighhot, I knew that I had to read it. I've read "catch me if you can" and loved it. I must say that this book did not disappoint me.
✓The book narrates the story of two couples, KD - Tia and Sameer - Isha. In today's world, where love has been caged behind the bars of "money", "fame" and "casual dating" , this book has to offer you a heartwarming tale of two lovers, show you the selflessness of love while keeping the harsh truth before you, at the same time.
✓If you like bollywood movies like "Aashiqui 2" , you're going to love this book. Two different scenarios but both of them are equally good. The plot is gripping and the ending satisfied me. The character development of KD is worth appreciation.
✓The emotions and feelings of the characters have been portrayed so well that some portions of the book may leave you teary eyed and fill your heart with various emotions. The narration is so good that you might feel as you know the characters personally.
✓The language is lucid and the concept is not very complicated, making it a comfortable read for the beginners. However, the paperback version has 270+ pages, so beginners may find it a bit lengthy.
✓Highly recommended to everyone out there. Trust me and go for it.

"A full stop is not an end because we can always write a new sentence after it."
Holy hell, what did I just read??
➽ Detailed characterization leading to unforgettable characters
➽ Adorable, a fast-paced page-turner

That's a basic list, but this book is all of that and SO MUCH MORE. I know 100% that UNHOOKED AND UNBOOKED will be one of my best reads of 2022.

I will not bore you with the summary of this book as it is already given by the author. Let me get straight toward the review.

This is an enthralling read penned down by the author Dr. Aditya. The best thing about this novel is that the author has jotted down keeping in mind the realistic portrayal of life. He also expresses KD's story as being fictional while Sameer's Story was inspired by real-life events, which made the read more intriguing. I easily finished this novel in one day as I was so curious about what will happen next. Furthermore, the unexpected twists and turns added to the perfect tune of the read. All the characters were well-developed and well-balanced. The characters were so relatable that I thought it was a Kdrama or a Bollywood movie. There is much that can be learned from this story. Each incident teaches us an important lesson and it's truly shocking that this story is inspired by true events.

I would 100/100 recommend this book if you're looking for a fast-paced emotional read.

Two couples- four characters each absolutely opposite to each other. The book is a perfect example of 21st century's social media and glamor enwrapped love story.the four characters include KD- a popular singer, at the verge to loose fame due to loose ethics and behavior.Tia, who is a struggling model and seems to use KD for overnight stardom.Isha, a popular social media influencer who is rich and follows the concept of right swipe love relations.Sameer who is a pure hearted nerd deeply in love with Isha but gets friend zoned often.The characters end up being together thus affecting each others lives.The novel answers the whether either of the couple can have their happily ever after or not.
The book represents today's world not only with storyline but also with the language used and writing style. The book is a very quick read. It is not a pin pointed romantic love story instead a combination of lust, envy, obsession and selfishness.It portrays the wide spreading cyber crimes and people reactions towards then. The book gives an idea on how ones discretion is really important to handle complicated situation.
The books felt more of a bollywood artwork. So this book is recommended for light readers who are into Bollywood.

The book traverses through the lives of four characters and their sojourn through the challenges life throws at them.
Two stories run parallel. The first is of KD, an egoistic superstar bordering along narcisstic who is also an alcoholic with anger issues. He loves Tia, a struggling model, and goes all the way to uplift her career. However, his ego gets the better of him so does his addiction to the bottle and uncontrollable rage, and Tia, who loves him back, is forced to leave him.
Parallelly, Sameer is in love with his best friend Isha. Sameer is a nerd, while Isha is a hot outspoken girl who doesn't shy away from flaunting her good looks on social media. She is of a modern outlook and doesn't believe in love after a past betrayal. However, she falls into a trap laid by a suitor. Sameer stands by her every step of the way and eventually, as they emerge from the chasm of turmoil, life throws yet another curve ball.
The author has, towards the end made the stories merge together. So do they all have their happily ever after?
As a reader, I found traces of the Bollywood flick Ashiqui 2 in KD's story and the way his character arc was penned. However, the emotions were well portrayed, whether its a relationship between friends or lovers.
Overall an interesting read.

KD is a famous rock star, he is the voice of India. Youth are mad for his songs. He fell in love with a girl and help her to achieve in her career. But later his life turned upside down due to his egoistic and eccentric attitude.

Isha who is a young and attractive girl, spend her life clicking pictures, shopping, and having parties with friends and sometimes with strangers. Got into a series of unfortunate events. Sameer and Shruthi help her to get out of her mental trauma and the present situation.

At first, I couldn't get into the book, cause it exactly gave me Bollywood movie vibes, but after reaching the middle of the book, I somehow connected with the plot and was able to grasp the flow.

The next move in the book was easily predictable. (In my case)

in this book, We will come across two different kinds of emotional turmoils. On one side KD finds it difficult to control his anger and eccentric attitude. On the other side, Isha was tested by an incident which made her life living hell.

At the end of the story, the author himself will conclude the story and its moral take in's are quite different.

My Rating : 4.3/5

📍 This story is not about a single character, it contains different characters having different stories meeting at a point in between.

📍 KD is a very popular singer. He is kind of egoistic, a druggie and sex starves person.

📍 Then there is this girl Tia. She is a struggling model. When KD and Tia met they kinda fell in love with each other. KD helped her in her career. She got fame because of being with KD.

📍 Then there are two more people in the story, Sameer and Isha. Sameer believes in true love. Isha has shut doors for love, but Sameer still has feelings for her.

📍 The story of Sameer is inspired from real incidents, while KD's story is fictional.

📍 How are these four characters related in the story? Is there a connection? Will they find love in each other or will they fall apart?

📍 To know the answers to such questions, you need to read the book.

📍 The cover of this book is so beautiful, I just love it. The writing style of the author is quite good. He has narrated the story in a nice way. The language of the book is lucid. The story is quite intriguing for the romance lovers.

I'm speechless about this book,
The way it took a turn in the end was so good like at that time each and everything starts making sense....

In this book, two different stories are going side by side, I wondered what will be the relation between them and when it come to an end...damn
This book is perfect for those who lost their way in life, who lost themselves, whose ego is everything and nothing else matters.
This book will teach you that things which no one can...
We all made mistakes like them and we kept on making it..we need to learn from Everything that happens in our life and not blaming someone, not hating someone...

The quote I like the most in the book was-
"EACH CHARACTER COMES IN YOUR LIFE TO TEACH YOU A LESSON AND HIS/HER ROLE IS ACTUALLY LIMITED TO THAT PERIOD OF TIME"

I felt it when I read❤️ because it's true. So instead of blaming someone we should learn from it. Also, never judge someone without knowing anything...

You will find poems and songs in this book and they're so beautiful written 😍❤️
Guys do read this book..

A good romance and suspense novel. It is a story of love, friendship, lust and ego. The story revolves under 4 person KD, Tia, Sameer, Isha. KD is a rockstar, who got the fame with lots of struggle but the fame brought ego and arrogance with him. KD fell in love with Tia and soon she became an actor with help of KD and both fell in love with each other. Tia was deeply hurt because of KD and his ego, what will she do? Next comes story of Sameer and Isha, both are good friends. Isha is hurt because of her first love and she doesn't trust in love anymore. She live her life through Instagram and Sameer falling for Isha. Will Sameer confess his love to Isha? Someone is blackmailing Isha. Will Isha be able to fight back? How the two story unite to form a single?

My view:
A story filled with twist and a story of modern era. You'll be able to know how someone's life can change in a night, how fame changes you and your life, and what happens if you lost the fame and how Instagram changes your life. It has some erotic parts in it. You'll feel the love and friendship.

Book:- Unhooked & Unbooked
Author:- Dr. Aditya R. Nighhot
Format:- Paper'back
Rating:- 5/5

This book is a great read especially for one's who admire fiction. 4 characters are taken as the protagonists in the storyline. Two parallel stories combine to make up a single plot.

The four characters are KD, Tia, Isha and Sameer. KD is an arrogant guy who's a great rockstar! Tia is a super model , beautiful and smart. She just gains fame while KD looses all his fame as a rockstar. What will happen next?

Isha and Sameer are best friends and gradually, Sameer develops love feelings towards Isha. Here's the twist, Isha is not able to cope up of her past relationship experience. So, what do you the same will she accept Sameer as her better half? Know it all yourselves by just diving deep into the storyline.

The author must be appreciated for scribbling such a mind blowing storyline. Readers will get a felling as if the storyline is being acted on the stage. It's really a page turner. Highly recommended for fiction lovers.

Thank You.
Happy Reading 📚

we follow 4 different characters through two parallel stories told by another character which is the author..yes he is part of the story.
KD 's character showed what fame can do to a egoist person. I first thought Tia is a gold digger but she turned out to be a really good person.

sameer was a really selfless character who helped Isha in the crisis without judging her character which is rare now a day.
Isha had a superiority complex which got shattered and she learnt her lesson.

Both the stories have high drama. The prologue kind of gave away how they were going to meet but that was okay. I liked how the characters crossed the paths and completed the full circle. I constantly felt that the narrator knowing the other story was kind of creepy, but got the explaination in the end.

Many social topics and lots of problems of this generation were discussed in this book and even though thats important I wish those were woven in conversations or with fewer sentences rather than whole paragraph.

To be honest I could not connect to the characters on emotional level maybe because I am not a big fan of typical Bollywood movies and the characters could perfectly fit in such movies which many readers may like. In all a fast paced ,interesting story with lots of ups and downs but a nice ending.

This book is a tale of friendship ,love ,ego, desire and betrayal . The book beautifully reflects that life is so unpredictable and all we need is to always 'trust the process'.
KD the superstar singer, an alcoholic and egoistic person, for whom success was everything in his life .Where as Tia is a struggling actor, hungry for fame as well as the biggest fan of KD. When they came across each other, little did they knew that they will change each others life forever.
On the other hand Sameer, a bookworm, is deeply in love with social media Queen Isha who was struggling with her past. But for Isha Sameer was 'just a friend'. But then when life took some unexpected turns her 'friend' Sameer comes in rescue for her.
All these four lives gets tangled with each other and becomes interconnected and life turns upside down within a fraction of second with just a single decision.
'Unhooked and unbooked' is a perfect page turner and more than just a love story. I loved the story line and character development so much.Overall it was a pleasure to read @adityanighhot 's writing.
