Everyone Dreams Under the Same Moon by Shatakshi Pandey
“𝑾𝒆 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒕𝒘𝒐 𝒅𝒊𝒇𝒇𝒆𝒓𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝒋𝒐𝒃𝒔 - 𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒇𝒆𝒆𝒅𝒔 𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒔𝒐𝒖𝒍 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒐𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓 𝒇𝒆𝒆𝒅𝒔 𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒃𝒐𝒅𝒚 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒘𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒊𝒇 𝒃𝒐𝒕𝒉 𝒄𝒂𝒏 𝒃𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒂𝒎𝒆? 𝑻𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒍𝒅 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒂𝒍𝒍 𝒊𝒕𝒔 𝒑𝒆𝒐𝒑𝒍𝒆’𝒔 𝒍𝒊𝒗𝒆𝒔 𝒘𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒃𝒆 𝒉𝒂𝒑𝒑𝒊𝒆𝒓.”

This is the story of love, loss, second chance and finding your passion your calling, story of Siya and Reyansh, story of Kunal and Ashvi.Their journey of finding happiness and everything in between.

The story is written so beautifully, it's simple yet profound. It's thought provoking had me questioning my belief, evoked emotions of deep longing and joy.
I highlighted way too many paragraphs in this book.
I felt the connection between Siya and Reyansh, their conversation had me reeling and spellbound.
Kunal and Ashbi their own story was heartbreaking and inspiring as well.
It's a short read of 126 pages, but it still had a great impact on my mind.

Everyone dreams under the same moon "Dedicated to the dreamer in you!" By Shatakshi Pandey

If given a choice what would you choose? Your passion or your current job?

Recently a friend of mine left her job to pursue her passion for baking. She isn't established yet but I have never seen her this happy. Not just her but I have seen a lot of people leaving their comfortable big fat jobs to pursue their dreams and I have wondered what makes people leave a life of comfort behind to chase their dreams?

Answer would be happiness and satisfaction. No matter how much money you have , if you ain't happy then life will seem dull.

This story is about following that passion and living one's dreams. It's about Siya who is passionate and in search of what makes her wake up smiling every morning and Reyansh who is software Engineer working in London who actually isn't happy with his job.

Then there is Kunal and Ashvi. Ashvi believes that life should be lived to the fullest. Kunal isn't happy as he has been bullied all his life, so he doesn't believe in love.

The book is about friendship and love, how they help each other achieve what they crave for. Every character in the book feels real coz they are flawed. Perfect life doesn't exist but you can turn your life around, if you pursue your passion and that's what it is about.

I enjoyed reading it cuz it dragged me out of my comfort zone and asked me are you really doing what makes you tick? My answer was yes, coz I always wanted to be a doctor and helping people out had been my passion.

So what about you? Are you living your passion or not yet?

What is your dream??

Everyone can dream but not everyone has courage enough to follow it.

Everyone embraces a unique dream in their heart or they are in search of their dream.
After all, life is short, we should at least live with the dream that makes us feel happy for waking up every single day.

It is beautifully weaved story  that revolves around having a dream ro drive our lives where Siya is looking for happiness and learning where to find it, and Reyansh is exploring the meaning of happiness.

The front cover of the book is interesting & catchy one I can say. Though it could have been better, but as per the base plot of the book, the way it is designed, can surely be termed as ‘justified’.

The title of the book is good and highly inspiring I must say. It goes with the theme of the story perfectly. Hence I consider it appropriate for the book. This plot has all sorts of elements present, that is needed to develop an inspirational and love story. Be it in any aspect, whether it is friendship or family love, it covered every zone and perfectly woven.

I’d like to recommend this lovely book to every avid reader & to every love reader, romance lover, and to the people who loves to read motivational journeys.

And kunal is siya's bestfriend who doesn't believe in love because of his dark or harsh past. Reyansh and Siya meet each other in a painting workshop. And from their they know each other and story starts from their only ,fall in love , and start seeing dream. Book was full of love, hopes, dreams, courage and friendship..

✳️August was a really hectic month for me. So, basically I started reading during the third week of this month. 'Everyone Dreams Under The Same Moon' written by Shatakshi Pandey is a tale to inspire the dreamers in us. The reason why I chose this book to read was because it was short, had an intriguing title, and had a really gorgeous cover. I really adore the night sky...😅✳️

🔹“𝑨𝒏𝒅 𝒊𝒇 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓 𝒇𝒆𝒆𝒍 𝒍𝒐𝒏𝒆𝒍𝒚 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒂 𝒍𝒐𝒐𝒌 𝒂𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒎𝒐𝒐𝒏 𝒃𝒆𝒄𝒂𝒖𝒔𝒆 𝒔𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝒔𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒘𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒊𝒔 𝒍𝒐𝒐𝒌𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒂𝒕 𝒊𝒕 𝒕𝒐𝒐.”🔹

✳️The story revolves around mainly two characters; Siya and Reynash. They both have personalities that are similar. Siya is still searching for something that makes her happy whereas Reynash has his future plans all set. A friendship buds between them, but fate had other ideas for them. Kunal and Ashvi, Siya's friends, too have a captivating tale that will have us swooning over them.✳️

🔹“𝑰 𝒃𝒆𝒍𝒊𝒆𝒗𝒆 𝒘𝒆 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒕𝒘𝒐 𝒅𝒊𝒇𝒇𝒆𝒓𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝒋𝒐𝒃𝒔, 𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒇𝒆𝒆𝒅𝒔 𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒔𝒐𝒖𝒍 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒐𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓 𝒇𝒆𝒆𝒅𝒔 𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒃𝒐𝒅𝒚, 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒘𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒊𝒇 𝒃𝒐𝒕𝒉 𝒘𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒂𝒎𝒆?”🔹

✳️The story teaches us to follow our dreams. We should always strive to achieve our goals, regardless of how challenging they may seem. Thanks to this book, I was able to realise that I am headed in the right direction. This book does wonders to all the dreamers and inspires us to pursue our passions.✳️

✳️The story is written beautifully. Loved the narration. It progresses rapidly and we can finish it in one sitting. This book is a good choice if you're seeking for something quick to read at a busy time.✳️

The story is all about dreams and dreamers, how one should pursue their passion to lead a happy life. This is the central theme and it sticks to it mostly. With inspiring quotes and reiterating certain dialogues, it makes sure that the readers get "don't do what you don't like, find what you love and do it."

I'm okay with this being the main idea of a fictional book, even though real life is just too realistic for such free spirited philosophy(or at least for the surface level idea that this book is all about).
But... here's what I'm not okay with: Siya, the female MC who feels inspired to find her spark after meeting Reyansh, our male lead, is reduced to that girl who waits around for her guy to go find that spark. It just felt like not being true to the whole idea.

Well, this is a review written from a very pessimistic place, so take it with a grain of salt. Pick this book if you're looking for a very short read. I wouldn't have found a fault with it if I wasn't over analysing it.

Book - Everyone Dreams Under the Same Moon.
Author - Shatakshi Pandey.
✓The story revolves around four very different people; Siya, Reyansh, Kunal ans Ashvi and how their life changes after they meet each other. Honestly, I was not expecting much from this book but I loved how things about various emotions were penned down. I literally finished it in one sitting. This book is basically contemporary romance with a tint of philosophy. If you kik reading John Green or bollywood romantic movies, then you should give this a try. The language is lucid and the vocabulary used is easy to understand. The story line is fast paced. The characters perfectly complement the plot. The plot was predictable but I enjoyed the book. The story is short, simple and sweet. I loved the writing style. Overall, a good one-time read.

There may come a point of time in our life when we are happy with the way things are, but yet we still get this gnawing feeling that we are not satisfied enough.

They say happiness is short term feeling but contentment or fulfillment is what sustains through our entire life, hence that must be our priority which needs to be achieved.

‘Everyone Dreams Under The Same Moon’ by author Shatakshi Pandey is a tale that revolves around such different individuals who come from varied backgrounds connected by a special bond.

When Siya and Reyansh first met each other, they were both a little lost and trying to figure out what was that thing which was missing from their lives that left them with a feeling of discontentment and a state of vexation.

On the other hand, there was Kunal, who had been dealt with some unfavorable circumstances, which in turn made him cynical but his perspective changes when Ashvi enters his life.

Now how will these four individuals navigate through their circumstances and make the best of their situation is the narrative of the story.

I liked how the author has focused on characterization and given enough time to develop a story that will leave its impact behind, hence I am going to give this FIVE STARS ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

*everyone dreams under the same moon*

This book talks about four people, Siya, Reyansh, Kunal and Ashvi whose view of life is a little different than that of the people around them. The book's main themes are love and friendship with a significant touch of motivation. It gave me typical contemporary novel vibes!

All the characters are very likeable. Each character can be seen to portray one very admirable quality. Siya's bravery; Reyansh's coolheaded nature; Kunal's innocence and Ashvi's happy being really made this book enjoyable!

On the whole, this was a very enjoyable light read. The plot was nice. It definitely has an inspirational message that I really liked!

▶This book is such a sweet and beautiful story. It has a mix of everything like love, friendship, finding what they want in life, and finding their happiness.

▶It holds the message to readers, when we have the chance in life, whatever it may be, how is the person/going to use the opportunity and find happiness in their chances?
Sometimes we used to think, this is what I want in life? Whatever the work they were doing in their life, even I used to think, is this work for me? I'm happy with my work.

▶ This story is all about Siya, Reyansh, Kunal, and Ashvi. Siya and Reyansh meet at an art shop, Siya, I like her character in the story, she is always passionate and eager to find something that makes her happy, and she is an encouraging bird in the group, and Reyansh, who is a software engineer and working at a top company, but he is not happy with what he's doing in his life, he feels like, he is missing something in his life, it's not complete at all, whatever he's does, he always thinks that what is it? And where I'm going in my life?

▶And Kunal, who is Siya's friend, is not a believer and he has trust issues with others because he has the same sort of past of love. Lastly, Ashvi is fun, carefree, loving, and caring about others around her, believing in little things and living her life as best.

▶this is a short read for me, the plot is simple yet beautifully portrayed with amazing characters who find their happiness and love in their journey. Check out this book guys, hope you'll like this.

This stunning story starts with Siya, a financial analyst living her mundane life. She is a girl who wonders what can look forward to as she indulges under the moon lit night reminiscing the memories of her love long gone.

Reyansh , a software engineer met siya at anpainting workshop .One thing lead to another and all we know is that they reallyy like each other together or not.

Kunal , the cold hearted cool guy is Siya's best friend . Eventually life has its own mystery and the world is too small where fate makes us meet somehow . So was the case when Ashvi came into Kunal's life.

Will these contemporary lovers get a happy ending? How are they connected? what is the real story?
To know read this intresting piece of work.

I absolutely enjoyed this book with a great cover, genuine language and some lines are just phenomenal .
It is an entertaining story especially the parts where the dynamica and interactions of the lovers happen. This book will inspire you, stay with you , and make you laugh as well.

A Must Read.

Everyone dreams under the same moon is a very beautiful and inspiring read. it follows the journey of 4 people.

the book tells you to find and follow your calling, to be that version of you which you've dreamed about. also, it is full of great inspiring quotes and few adorable moments between the main characters too! *squeals *

one of the many beauty of this book is that it is a short and quick paced book that can be read in one sitting and is written so well for a debut novel!!!

📍 The story starts with Siya looking at the moon as she finds herself lonely.

📍 Siya is an analyst. Her job is to analyzing people's financial growth.

📍 She's in search of something that makes her feel happy for waking up every morning.

📍 She remembers her good days with her lover, how they met and everything. The author has narrated it very well.

📍 Reyansh is a software engineer. Reyansh and Siya meets in a painting workshop, where they are going to draw their thoughts.

📍 Then there is Kunal, he is Siya's best friend. He doesn't believe in love and he hasn't felt it yet.

📍 At last comes Ashvi. She believes in living her life to the fullest.

📍 How did Kunal and Ashvi meet? Is there something between them? What happened to Siya and Reyansh? Why aren't they together? How did things fall in place when they met each other?

📍 Check out the book and read it to find answers to such questions.

📍 The language of the book is quite easy. Sometimes you'll be laughing reading it and sometimes you'll be sad. The author has written an interesting story to read.

"Our truest life is when we are in dreams awake"
I think there is a dreamer within all of us. A dream is not what you see in sleep, Dream is something that does not allow you to sleep and turning your dreams into reality is one's success.
Everyone dreams under the same moon is a story about the dreamer and shows how the dreams are fulfilled with passion & dedication.

The story is plain sailing and narrates about Siya & Reyansh, and their journey to finding happiness. Siya is a hardworking girl and a genuine dreamer who always feels that life must have some true essence, like a goal that makes us happy to wake up every morning. A life without a purpose is just running in a circle.
This story provides us with a clear difference between the job that feeds our soul and the job that feeds our body. If a job fulfils both then you are the happiest and most fortunate. I am a true example of this who left a fat salaried job to follow my passion to become a writer. Though I haven't been a writer yet but have co-authored a book recently (check it out: https://www.amazon.in/Two-Words-Naba-...). Small steps though, but determined and focused on my dream.

This book is a good combination of friendship and love. Siya's friends Ashvi and Kunal are always supportive and Reyansh is a special friend whose wavelength matched exactly with Siya and both stood for each other to achieve the same goal. Art brought them close and it made them fulfil their dream of creating an Art gallery. Reyansh who was on his death bed and struggling between life and death was motivated by Siya. She gave him a second chance by pushing him to live life and achieve his dreams. Friends can make miracles and can make your life filled with joy and opportunities.

I finished the book in one sitting as the language is simple and the narration is very appealing. A good book that makes to believe in our dreams and be pragmatic.
"Happiness cannot be bought, it can only be created by what we already have!"

Don't just dream but have the courage to follow it.

📍What a beautiful debut! It's emotional nonetheless but gives an important life lesson, to kee on going & have a never say die attitude. Keep on pushing yourself & inspiring others & spreading positivity!

It also emphasises on the importance of journaling & how it helps one have clarity, declutter & destress. In this story, it helps a lot more than that, it helps a loved one know much more about the person & revive him from coma.

Also, i loved the letter Reyansh's father wrote him. Infact i have thought about it a zillion times, to write to my loved ones so that they can remember me for eternity & have something for keepsake.

Dreams, this story also motivates us to follow our dreams, our passion, something we love to do instead of getting bogged down by the mundane routine of life. This book came with a beautiful hand-painted matching bookmark & i am going to keep it safe forever. The book is written from dual Pics, of siya & reyansh. The minute detailing, the designs are beautiful & also the poetry peppered throughout the book is a total delight.

A wonderful debut & a good read if you are looking for a simple love story & something to get motivated to follow your dreams. Also the writing style is a lot more than i expected of a debut.

How lovely that the book's first few words provide you  with the entire ethereal ambiance you were hoping for  when you decided to buy it in the first place!

✨🔖
Siya, a young woman in her twenties with dreams in her eyes and grit in her heart, opens the narrative. She is caught between a well-paying job and her quest to find her ikigai, or life purpose. Reyansh, a man she knew would captivate her with his charm and tenderness from the start of the painting school, enters her life at this crucial juncture. The plot develops and demonstrates the companionship of friends, the complicated but charming family drama, and how unstable life can be. Readers will grin as the narrative comes to a happy conclusion.

1)First and foremost, the cover. The cover was the first  and biggest reason I desired a copy of thisbook.It's very  lovely and dreamy. I know they say don't judge a book by  itscover, but some things are just too gorgeous to ignore, and this cover is one of them!

2)The book has a very simple, uncomplicated  design.I really liked how each chapter was broken up and explained from the perspectives of both Siya and Reyansh.

3)Last but not least, the book is really simple  and suitable for beginners. In addition, this is one of  those books you should choose if you want to break out of a  reading rut and enjoy some Indian-ness romance.

𝚆𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝙸 𝚍𝚒𝚍𝚗'𝚝 𝚕𝚒𝚔𝚎!

1) The plotline may be improved and made more unique; I felt it grew too general, something we see all too often in some shows and novels.

2)There was also very little character and environment development for both Siya and Reyansh.This was sadly  lacking.

Anyways, that's it. Hope you guys pick it up, if it appeals to your taste☺

Living a dream life is simple on paper but complex to make happen. Your dream life is going to vary from someone else’s in several aspects. It doesn’t just mean there is only one ideal dream life to be living. For some people, to create a dream life is to work at a job they love, or enter a flow state of mind while working. For others, it’s being in good physical health, having a loving family and a strong network of friends. In the end, a living dream life is a life that you consider fulfilling, full of purpose, and satisfying. And just because you are pursuing grander things doesn’t mean that the life you have is unsatisfying either.

Everyone Dreams Under the Same Moon by Shatakshi Pandey is a story devoted to dreams and the dreamers present in everyone. Siya, an analyst is searching for her purpose in life, which satisfies her soul and makes her happy. Reyansh, a software engineer who settled in London, left his job and came back to India to follow his heart and acknowledge a real sense of happiness. They both meet each other at a painting workshop and fall for each other at first instance. But then before things go ahead Reyansh meets with a serious accident & goes into a coma, leaving everything upside down for Siya. Did Reyansh make it to life or did he stay in the black hole of a coma? To know the whole story, I will recommend reading this book.

The story is written in a laconic and appealing style. Human emotions like faith, hope, love, friendship, life, dreams, rejection, dedication and resolution can be found in the book. The narrative is from both characters giving a 360-degree view of the story. The characters are well-developed and defined by the author and each character has been given equal importance. I feel the story should have been a little longer to feel more associated with the characters and sentiments.

It is a simple and light read for beginners and highly recommended to all the people who believe that dreams do come true.

📍 A short, inspirational read that teaches us that we should never stop believing in dreams.

• INSIGHT: Everyone Dreams Under The Same Moon is based on two main protagonists—Siya, a financial analyst who aspires to be an interior designer, and Reyansh, a software engineer who left his job to open an art gallery. It is a short, sweet read about two people chasing their dreams and what happens when destiny brings them together.

• REVIEW: The story begins when Siya meets Reyansh in a painting workshop. Their love for art ignites their friendship, and they, along with their friends Kunal and Ashvi, start hanging out frequently. Despite their troubled pasts, they begin moving towards achieving their dreams when suddenly, tragedy strikes. The story then shows how they try to fight and overcome the tragedy to fulfil their dreams.

The narration is smooth, and the characters are likable. Despite their flaws, I could relate to every one of them. The descriptions are also vivid. However, although the author has a decent vocabulary, the prose is littered with grammatical and punctuation mistakes. One or two rounds of editing were required to iron them out.
Although slightly filmy, I found the ending decent too. The characters are given the closure they deserve.
Overall, this is a decent one-time weekend read.

• BEST QUOTE FROM THE BOOK:
Happiness cannot be bought, it can only be created by what we already have!

• STRENGTH:
1. Likable characters.
2. A light, heart-warming read.

• WEAKNESS:
1. The several grammatical and punctuation mistakes.
2. Some cheesy scenes.

• TARGET READERS:
Readers who are looking for a romantic, inspirational read. Since this book covers the journey of two young adults, readers in their late teens, young adults, and adults should like it. The book does not contain expletives, so it is suitable for children and early teenagers too.

• GENRE: Contemporary fiction

• RATING: 3.7/5

🌚 EVERYONE DREAMS UNDER THE SAME MOON 🌚
By Shatakshi Pandey

❝If we can identify the core of our struggles, while simultaneously understanding that we are truly in control of making changes, then we can utterly change our trajectory.❞

✒️I've laughed, cried and contemplated. There are self-help books, and then there's 'Everyone Dreams under the same Moon'!

✒️Through this book Shatakshi herself takes her readers on a journey through her their own triumphs and losses, heartbreaking moments and celebrations.

✒️As a debut author, she beautifully presented each and every chapters of this book very intriguing and inspiring. Everyone can relate to Siya's story.

✒️The story of Siya and Reyansh, young souls who run to live their dream life quitting their corporate job. In that journey of their dream they met at an art workshop from there their relationship starts. There is a lot of emotions hiding inside the book. Buy your copy to read more of their story.

✒️Why do we feel we need permission, even if that permission is from someone we don't know? Because of LIES. Lies we've been told and lives we've told ourselves.

"Something else will make me happy."
"I'll start tomorrow."
"I'm not good enough."
"I should be further along by now."
"I am who others think I am."
"My best isn't good enough.

✒️The author doesn't sugar coat it, she doesn't tell you it's going to be easy nor does she tell you that change will happen overnight. What she does tell us is that YOU ARE WORTH IT. You are worth the fight, the struggle, the battles, and the pain. YOU ARE WORTH the hard work, the tears, the rejection, and the exhaustion. Because,

❝Life isn't meant to be merely survived-it's meant to be lived❞

✒️Two reads completed, several passages highlighted, and a whole new perspective on life through this story and the pursuit of happiness. :)

Highly recommended!!

‘Yes, everyone under the sky has the same 24 hours but we all live differently. We all dream under the same moon. Anyone can dream but not everyone has the courage to follow them. Irrespective of the circumstances, true happiness always comes from the thing you love to do the most’  

Siya and Reyansh meet rather unpredictably at an art workshop, where they instantly connect.
 
Siya is in a deliberate search for something she loves and it is Reyansh, who helps her discover the same. Reyansh on the other hand, left his well-paying job in London and returned back to India after he finally found the courage to pursue his passion that he knew all along; that of opening an art gallery.
 
During the course of Siya’s passion hunt wherein they meet each other, they exchange some heart-warming talks over the rooftop or at the fish pond where they feed the fishes bread crumbs or at a balloon therapy session. There are some real takeaways in these talks that would make you want to reflect upon on a deeper level.
 
Later through the story, an incident takes place which again shows us towards the end of how much important a true dream is one’s life and how it has the power to alter life itself.
 
On the whole, this book talks about finding what you love the most and eventually having the courage to follow it.
Your current job could be paying you well enough but does it really give you that happiness, that satisfaction, that feeling of being the best version of yourself?
 
Through the story of Siya and Reyansh, the author emphasizes on being bold enough to follow your passion because it is there that your happiness truly resides.
 
A simple, short and quick read, this book can be read by anyone under the sun or should I say moon? 😉

Everyone Dreams Under the Same Moon is a beautiful story which revolves around having a dream to drive our lives.
It starts with Siya reading the name of Reyansh on the page of her journal. She misses him a lot and thinks everyday where he has been. It had been a month since he went missing without any notice. Later she found out that Reyansh had met an accident and was in a coma for a month. The doctor told Siya that there is no guarantee that Reyansh will be able to recover and before she lost all the hopes, she received the news she was not ready for.
Did Reyansh make it to life or did he stay in the black hole of coma?
How will he react when he gets to know that Siya read his personal diary and also the unread letter from his dad?
To know the whole story, I will recommend you to read this book.
This book is unique in a way as the narrative is not only from Siya or from Reyansh. Instead, narrative is from both the characters and together as well, thus giving a 360 degree view of the story. The author has done a good job while writing this story with the right amount of twists and turns to keep the reader engaged.

I loved many sentences from this book but out of all my favorite ones is " Everyone is writing their own story, son. You can be the page-turner of yours. Maybe your first few chapters were rough but you can always change it with the turn of a page. Your story will have all types of characters - of love, dream, hope, even failures, but don't forget to live all of them to the fullest and always keep in mind that it's you who has the power to change your destiny with just a turn of a page. Be fearless; the fight is not over until it's over so do not give up! "

🌸 Everyone Dreams Under The Same Moon
🌸 Author - Shatakshi Pandey
“Let your dreams be your wings.”
🌸 Plot - Everyone strives to fulfill their dreams. Dreams , small or big , give us the motivation to live and survive under all kind of situations.
Everyone Dreams Under The Same Moon is a heart warming story of Sia and Reyansh who meet in an art workshop. Both of them get a chance to interact with each other and come to know about each other’s life . Sia tells Reyansh that she is still trying to figure out what exactly she want from her life whereas Reyansh tells her that he has already figured out what exactly he wants from his life .
They both enjoy each other’s company and get connected automatically with a beautiful bond of love and care .
With dreams in their eyes and strong will to accomplish their dreams,
Will they both be able to share their ups and downs together?
Will their dreams come true ?

🌸 Review - Its a sweet story which tells us about real happiness. Real happiness lies in perusing your own dreams . Just earning money can’t be your source of happiness, happiness is in following your passion. Author has wisely put the subplot of Kunal and Ashvi in between the main plot and all the characters are very well connected.
Author has touched a very important and sensitive topic .
Everyone has a dream but in this materialistic world people sideline their dream and focus on earning money , good career and a good name in the society for themselves and by the time they realise the hardcore truth it’s too late for them.
A very realistically put story of our aspirations.

The stories about Siya, who was an analyst, she was always inspired by idea of having a dream that makes your heart restless unless your achieve it, that makes you cross your limits and realize your inner potential, something that makes you feel alive and make you want to wake up every morning. She met Reyansh in painting workshop, where her painting was exchanged with his painting to complete each others half made paintings. They both shared each others views about life and dreams.

Reyansh has quit his job of Software Engineer, London to come back to India to live his dreams. They both used to write about their day or goals in journal, this is something that gives them to track life, where they are going forward. Also, it feel as if they are talking to someone with an open heart. They both had feelings for each other but before they tell each other, one day, Reyansh met a serious accident and got into coma. But Riya didn't lose her hope. She tried everything to bring him back. She believe that those who loves us, never really leave us. They always leave their best shared memories with us here. Love is like raindrops falling from same cloud separately and then meeting again on the ground after a duration of time and merging to be one. We all are in search of our raindrops to make us feel complete.

The story will make you feel connected, inspired and emotional. There are lot of takeways if you are a dreamer too. The book is all about believe, hope, love, life and passion. The story and its content will touch your heart. I would recommend this to anyone who loves to read well written story and is in search to find inside dreamer and passion.

A cheerful novel full of diverse emotions...

I really enjoyed the whole novel; may it be the characters, scenes, storyline, twists etc. I absolutely loved the way in which the author touched my soul and inspired it to work to make my dream a reality. The novel tells the story of Siya and Reyansh who meets unexpectedly in an art workshop. They had their own flaws in their characters. Siya is not happy with her profession and wanted to do something that will make her happy and earn her money at the same time. But she was unable to find anything that will really make her glad as many things made her smile. Reyansh is a confident young man who wanted to start his own art gallery. Even if he was confident he lacked positivity in his life. He was always afraid of failures. They had different dreams. What happened when they cross their way to each other's life? Read "EVERYONE DREAMS UNDER THE SAME MOON" to know more.

This book is purely a creative work of fiction. But each and every part of the book can be felt deep within. The use of simple and easily understandable language is a main attraction of this book. The visual imagery is used brilliantly throughout the novel. Above all it perfectly defended the subtitle of the novel 'A tale to inspire the dreamer in you'. Even if it is just a work out of imagination it is able to inspire the readers - the positive atmosphere sometimes did the job and the dialogues some other times. I would say there is a soul in this work which acted as an unseen force that carries optimism, hope and a ray of light.

This book is recommended for each and everyone who is a dreamer!!! Hope you guys will also enjoy it as much as I did.

About the book:-

Everyone dreams under the same moon "Dedicated to the dreamer in you!"
Some people spend their lives in search of their calling.
But Siya doesn't want to spend her life searching for it, she wants to spend living it! She is in search of some thing that makes her feel happy for waking up every morning.Reyansh a software engineer working in London, living his best life until one day his definition of happiness is questioned.Kunal doesn't believe in Love, maybe because he has never met someone who loves him back.Ashvi believes in living life to the fullest.What turns will their journey take when they will meet? Come on! Join them in their journey in the search of themselves.

Story mainly highlights the two characters Siya and Reynash along with their friends Kunal and Ashvi and their journey from dreaming the best to living the fullest. Story was really touching and beautiful but author could have written a little more. Ending was really unpredictable twist and turns out beautiful heart warming story. Felt like watching a movie. This book will help you to understand the importance of one's dream and life. Overall an easy and quick read. Author's narrative style is beautiful and language is quite easy. The cover picture is also kinda aesthetic.

"We have two different jobs- one that feeds our soul and the other feeds our body and what if both can be the same? This world and all its people's lives will be happier." I totally agree with this quote mentioned in the book. I know we all need to look for jobs with high salary packages but the reality is that we all force ourselves to work unhappily only for money. I do understand the difference between work for either money or one's own happiness. Tbh , bookstagram is the latter for me. I have found it to be my happy place. Siya was in search of reason for being happy everyday. I found her character the same as mine. We all look for such reasons, but the truth is that we should be happy with the things we own in our life. Reyansh , happiness has a meaning for hime, but an incident in his life changed his world. He got to learn new chapters. Whereas kunal doesn't believe in love, or Ashvi was one who lives life to the fullest.
How their lives get interconnected?
This story will make you happy,  emotional, sad , surprised or you will question your own beliefs. This fiction story has elements of nonfiction too. I loved the way the author has written her thoughts and viewpoints for life.
I recommend this book to readers who look for something motivational and real life lessons in fiction books.
