Short
Summary of the book:
Meet Shikha and Yash. The two young people
seem an unlikely match and Shikha fights against her attraction to the younger
man. Both are loveable characters and the story is well-written.
What
I liked about the book:
Although this is a short, romantic read, the
story was complete. It also shattered some preconceived ideas about relationships
between Indian men and women.
What
I didn’t like about the book:
I loved the entire book.
My
favourite bits in the book:
When Yash accidentally meets Shikha’s son and
gets in touch with Shikha again that way.
My
least favourite bits in the book:
The end. I wanted to know what happened next.
But, joking aside, I loved this book.
Any
further books in the series? Any more planned by this author?
This is the first in a series. I really have
to stop myself at the moment from buying the next one and find out what happens
next. It will be a follow on from this one, right?
What
books could this be compared to and why?
This book was an eye-opener, romantic and had
a feel good factor. As such, it could be compared with any books that also have
this.
Recommendation:
In
summary, I would recommend this book for the following readers:
