I went into this book with high expectations due to the amount of praise it has received online, but unfortunately, it did not work for me. When I read fiction, I look for a narrative that feels intentional and immersive—one that allows the story to unfold naturally rather than feeling loosely assembled. This book fell short of that expectation.

As I progressed, I found the writing increasingly difficult to engage with. Much of the dialogue came across as snobbish or childish, and it often felt unnatural rather than serving the story. I mean, what kind of writing is this, “Every morning she tried cleaning her intestine, but the efforts were useless. …”. I am at loss of words.

In addition, the narrative was frequently weighed down by unnecessary details that disrupted the pacing instead of enriching the world or characters. These issues made it difficult to stay invested.

While the author is young and clearly passionate, age alone does not account for the lack of narrative polish, especially when many authors at a similar stage demonstrate a stronger command of dialogue, structure, and restraint. Ultimately, this was not a book I could continue or recommend. It became my first DNF of 2026, which is why I am giving it one star (because that’s the least you can give on Goodreads).

Honestly I did not like it. The language of the book is like whatsapp chats. Maybe GenZ or college students may like this book as it has all that kind of material which the teenagers would like. I really couldn't resonate with the book much but first time readers may find this book good.

I wish I could give 0 stars. Do not fall for the marketing gimmicks like I did. This book was all over social media and Bookstagram, but buying it was the worst decision I’ve made in the last decade. I can’t recall ever feeling this much regret after spending money on a book. The writing is extremely amateur. Utterly nonsense. It feels like the author doesn’t know the basics of how to construct a sentence or explain simple emotions. It is full of gibberish and grammatical errors, and the language feels more like a WhatsApp chat than a novel. While I know this is a debut by a young author, the flaws are just too hard to ignore. I am only five pages into it, and the way intimacy is described honestly makes me feel like puking. The mix of English and Hindi is jarring, and it’s clear no proper proofreading was done. A novel should tell a story, not leave the reader trying to decode nonsense. It is heartbreaking that this passes for popular fiction while genuine Indian writers who actually craft meaningful stories are overlooked. If you are an avid reader, stay away or your brain might explode. If you are new to reading, please don’t start here or you will end up hating books forever. For the love of God, avoid this one.

I've read this book a couple of years ago and loved it like anything and then after 2 years I re- read this again and loved it even more.
Not even once, this book gave me a vibe that this is the author's debut novel. The writing was impeccable and nuanced.
The writer definitely knew what he was bringing on to the paper and never it felt like the story was stretched..It was just to the point and perfect.
I fell in love with the characters..felt their friendship..this book is not just your regular love story but reflects light on many aspects like Love, Trust, Friendship, Travel and most importantly many social issues that we witness every single day were very subtly put into the story and it all makes it worth the read

A simple yet heartfelt story about four people and their intertwined journey through love, friendship, and healing. The short chapters made it a fast-paced read, but I took my time to savour every moment. I loved how Sai found her spark to start a travel company after visiting Hampi, and how Sagar’s genuine bond with his friends truly reflected the title. The twist with Harsh’s manipulative father and the Bollywood-style groom kidnapping kept me hooked till the end. A warm, easygoing story that feels like a friend narrating it right to your heart.

It’s a 3.75 for me.... the story feels like a movie, with emotions flowing naturally and moments that stay with you. Sagar’s writing has a simple yet cinematic charm. It’s heartfelt, relatable, and quietly beautiful.

We Are There for Each Other is a simple, feel-good story about four friends, a trip, and the realizations that come along the way. While the trip is an important part of the book, the story doesn’t just focus on travel — it also explores life before the trip and how things change during it.

The book feels very much like a movie — especially a South Indian friendship-and-love story. There are moments of action, emotions, nostalgia, friendships, relationships, breakups, and self-reflection. You don’t really have to think too deeply while reading; you just go along with the flow and experience the journey.

What stood out to me is how relatable the story feels. Many situations mirror real life — friendships among a group, expectations from love and relationships, dealing with breakups, coping with changes, and even personal insecurities. One particular aspect that felt very real was how a character struggles with health and body-related insecurities, and how that affects self-worth. Those moments hit close to home because they reflect how many of us compare ourselves to others and feel inferior at times.

The friendship dynamic, trips with friends, and observing life from different perspectives bring a lot of nostalgia. While reading, I kept remembering my own trips, moments with friends, and personal experiences — and that emotional familiarity is where this book works best.

That said, this is a normal, routine story. It doesn’t try to be extraordinary or deeply complex, and it succeeds as a light, comforting read. I wouldn’t say I loved it, and I don’t see myself returning to it again — but I did enjoy the journey while it lasted.

Overall, it’s a feel-good, relatable, easy read. Not unforgettable, not bad — just a warm, nostalgic experience you enjoy once and move on from.

Story starts with Malar and Sagar, who are born in the same building. As friends Malar and Sagar always met once in a week on the terrace, that was their meeting place where they shared, they week updates and spent time with each other.
One day Sagar’s another childhood friend is invited to their usual meeting place, Malar and Harsh connect instantaneously. While Harsh has his share of love failures, Malar had hers so they both understandably do not express. Malar starts gym with Harsh, on the request of Sagar, to keep herself healthy.
On another day, Sagar runs into Sai, a girl who moved into their building a few days back, when he reaches the terrace early for their usual weekly catch up. Sagar likes Sai and introduces her to Malar and Harsh. All four instantly become good friends.
Sai plans for a Hampi trip and all four friends went on for the trip. Here life turns heaves and hell, for all the friends. To know read the book, I liked the narrative of the book and the characterization. One of the lines I liked in the book is, “That’s what Love does to us. Either it destroys us entirely or gives us a purpose in life. “
My take on this book, for sure when you start taking your life into your hands, you meet the right people, talk the right things to them and you get all the courage in the world you needed. Just that you need to be strong and stand for yourself. I did like the friendship between Sagar and Malar, Sai is a sweet character with clarity on what she wants but Khushboo is a dynamite, she is like the special appearance Super Star who comes shines and goes. Amid all the movie masala of the book, it was Khusboo who turns the tables. She is the MAN of the BOOK.
This is a simple romantic book and for many is a quicker read than me. Worth reading it and best wishes to the author.

At first glance, We Are There For Each Other might seem like a classic “friends to lovers” story, but it’s far more than that. The emotional depth shared between Sagar and Malar is honest, heartfelt, and beautifully flawed. Their relationship isn’t about grand gestures—it’s about being present, being patient, and being real.

What really touched me was how authentically Malar’s mood swings and emotional turmoil were portrayed. As a woman, I could deeply relate to the rawness that hormone imbalances can bring. Sagar’s quiet presence and steady support made their bond even more special. And yet, even though they understood each other, the pain they felt in the moments they needed each other the most was heartbreakingly real.

The connections with Sai and Harsh added warmth and depth, showing that love isn’t the only emotion worth exploring—some friendships and feelings exist just to be felt, not labeled.

This book felt like a soft, emotional movie. It reminds us that being there for someone isn't always perfect, but it’s always meaningful.

A beautifully emotional tale that lingers like a warm afterthought. A must-read for those who crave emotionally grounded, feel-good fiction.

A Cinematic Masterpiece!

It is rare to find a book that feels both grand and intimate at the same time. For a beginner writer, what has been achieved here is truly larger than life.
What I Loved:
The Flow: The writing is smooth and moves like a breeze. I found myself flying through the chapters.
The Pacing: There is a great balance in telling the story. The author knows exactly when to speed up the action and when to let the emotional moments breathe.
The Characters: This was the highlight for me. Absolutely all the characters are equally treated and elevated. They are so well-written that these characters will stay with us for some time.
The Writing: Beyond the plot, the quotes are also good. There are so many beautiful, meaningful lines that I found myself highlighting as I read.
The Vibe:
The entire reading experience was heartful and deeply moving. The imagery is so vivid and the stakes are so high that the story felt nothing short of a movie playing in my head.
Bottom Line: An incredible debut that feels like the work of a seasoned pro. High quality from start to finish!

We Are There for Each Other is a beautiful and emotional story that highlights the importance of friendship, love, and being present for the people who matter most. The book focuses more on relationships and emotions rather than dramatic twists, which makes it feel real and heartfelt.
What I loved most about this book is how naturally the bond between the characters is portrayed. The friendship feels genuine, supportive, and strong, and the love story develops in a very comforting and believable way. The writing style is smooth and engaging, making it easy to connect with the characters and their journey.
The emotional moments are handled well, without feeling forced. The ending, in particular, was satisfying and meaningful—it tied the story together nicely and left a warm feeling after finishing the book.
I would highly recommend this book to readers who enjoy emotional stories with strong friendships and gentle romance. Overall, it’s a well-written and touching read that stays with you even after you turn the last page.

I picked up this book because of the hype on social media.

While I understand this is written by a young author and that it is their debut, the flaws are hard to ignore. The narration feels weak, the story lacks solidity, the flow is broken, and the emotional depth is missing.

What bothered me most is the way intimacy is written. Whenever the author tries to express closeness between the partners, the choice of language simply does not work. Not everything has to revolve around making out. Even if intimacy is central to the story, it can be expressed with sensitivity and restraint. Here, it often comes across as crude rather than sensual.

I also could not understand why there are so many characters with no proper arc or closure. It either feels unnecessary or like forced suspense without any payoff.

On top of this, there is a clear lack of continuity and proper proofreading. This kind of careless writing style completely puts me off as a reader.

I genuinely wish I could give this book zero stars.

The story starts with an erotic touch, which honestly hooks me right away and made me want to keep going. The writing is super simple and beginner-friendly, so I’d definitely recommend it to people who are new to reading books.
Everything went well and keeping in mind that this is fiction. You nailed it bro, I saw and felt every emotion that you wrote for your characters.

A few small cons: Sagar Chudesara
The narrator felt a bit thin, a guiding voice could’ve helped it win.
After romantic and erotic scenes, fillers appeared more and I dont remember them atleast.
The climax felt rushed and Bollywood-inspired, not bad, just slightly misfired. Also, felt bad for Priya..!! but yeah, fate arghhh.

Final thought:
A good starter romance with an engaging beginning and easy language. Could’ve been tighter near the end, but still worth reading.

For me the book ranges from 3.5 - 4 on the scale of 5 start rating. This is mainly because there are parts which are unclear. Although, the storyline, the character buildup, the detailing, explanations and emotions building through words is great 10/10 for that but at many instances things went up and down with unclear about the base and somethings felt unconnected when turned the page for next chapter. The story narrative is done is a great manner, loved the way but POVs could have been mentioned at the start of the Chapter to get a clarity which chapter belongs to which character. Yet, I feel @Sagar Chudesara you have done a great job, would love to read ahead your writings, as they are simple, loving, and completely relatable to desi bollywood movie lovers....

In the beginning I felt disconnected and stopped reading the book after 10 pages because it’s not that engaging but I want to give it a try so I started on 14th of this month and I read 130 pages in the first day itself. I’m not a great reader, but when I started from the beginning, it felt like okay, it’s decent after 10 page while reading it, so I can continue it and the end is satisfied, but the structure needs to be more improved and in the beginning of the story, few points are like that couldn’t happen. The story couldn’t be narrated. So during that point of time, I didn’t understand what author is trying to say, but anyway, it was good book. The story was decent and you can give it a try.

Title and front page attarcted me and I purchased. But I did not have any expectations as its a debue novel.But when I started reading I just can't resist myself to stop reading, though I have other stuffs to do. I have finished this book just in 3 days in my busy schedule.

Its an amazing book. I never lived in an apartment. I never had friends like Malar, Harsh ,Sagar Devika etc. But still I was there in that story. Beacause you had written this story in that beautiful way. Some warm feeling, motivational,I m not able to describe that feel good things by words. I really enjoyed. Its simply super. I recommend this to everybody who is in search of feel good books.

I picked up this book because it was everywhere on Bookstagram, and I regret that decision more than any other reading choice. The writing feels like a patchwork of random Bollywood plots stitched together without coherence. The language mix of English and Hindi is jarring, and the lack of proper proofreading makes it worse.
A novel should tell a story, not leave readers decoding gibberish. If this is what passes for popular fiction, it’s heartbreaking for genuine Indian writers who actually craft meaningful narratives. Marketing can sell a book, but it cannot make it readable.
My blessings to the brave souls who still plan to read it—you’ll need divine intervention.

“We Are There For Each Other” is the debut novel of Sagar Chudesara. The story begins by the reconnecting of two old childhood friends, Malar and Sagar, who grew up together in the same building in Malad, Mumbai. Harsh, Sagar’s school friend and Sai, a new inmate from South India add more colours and twists to the story. The novel is a rollercoaster ride with ups and downs in the lives of four youngsters in their twenties. Love and friendship are the central themes of the book.

I would like to sincerely appreciate you for the way you've narrated this story. It's written so compellingly that I couldn't stop reading-it kept me hooked from start to finish. For the first time ever, I completed an entire book without taking a break or postponing it to the next day.

Chapter 35 truly moved me-my eyes welled up with tears. The pain the character felt was expressed so deeply and authentically that it touched my heart. It's such a feel-good story, yet so emotionally powerful.

Definitely not a great book. Lacks the very basic structure and language to keep a reader engaged and motivated to continue further. There is nothing new to look forward to in this book.
The author clearly cannot handle any criticism, as the moment you give any feedback he takes off the comment on his Instagram page. It is definitely not worth the hype it created on the social media platforms.
Will definitely not recommend this book.

Problems don't start when you see darkness, but it starts when you begin to see darkness even when there is light around.


Loved reading it. It was easy to read, comforting, and a real page-turner. I wanted more, but it ended too soon 😁🤭

My favourite characters were Sagar and Sai. Even though they had limited appearances in the story, I really loved their characters and the impression they left.

Give it a try—you’ll love it.
Happy reading!

Refreshing and can’t put it down

I saw instagram reel of this author promting his book. He’s indian and I am as well so I have to give him a chance. I found it on kindle unlimited and dive into it. There are so many twists. You will go for a road trip and experience all the beauty of the city. Must read I have no words to explain how much I love this.

We Are There for Each Other is a gentle and comforting read about support, empathy, and showing up for the people who matter. The writing is simple and sincere, making the emotions feel real and relatable. It’s not a fast-paced book, but that’s part of its charm—it gives you time to pause and reflect on your own relationships.

An absolutely soul-stirring and exquisitely woven story — delicately stitched in fine black threads on a canvas of white, making it both breathtaking and serene. I’ve just finished We Are There for Each Other, and the emotions still linger like a gentle fragrance in the air.

Engaging story, sub standard language. Rated 3 points because the story was engaging enough to take me to the end.
Strongly recommend that if English is not your natural language, then hire a quality editor.

It’s a light, easy read, and I wouldn’t strongly recommend it. However, if you’re looking for a simple story to relax with, you can give it a try. The plot is straightforward with a happy ending. I’ve given it 4 stars to appreciate the author’s effort.
