BOOK REVIEW: This Love that Feels Right... by Ravinder Singh


30848916

Life would have been easier had it been possible for us to plan falling in love more importantly avoid falling in love . . . Love is not for you she told herself. Inside just like any girl she desired to be loved. She had accepted her life the way it was till one day love showed up unannounced uninvited That s the thing with love. It doesn t take permission. It s in its very nature to gatecrash into our lives. Standing face-to-face with love she finds herself asking Is this love right? The answer is not simple. It never was . . . This intense love story will shake every belief you ve ever had about love. About the Author Ravinder Singh is the bestselling author of I Too Had a Love Story Can Love Happen Twice? Like It Happened Yesterday and Your Dreams Are Mine Now.



BOOK REVIEW:
Finally completed this new book of Ravinder Singh. As expected the author is completely changed. I didn't find that Ravinder Singh who had made me cry with his first novel "I Too Had a  Love Story" around 5 years ago. Its sequel was quite emotional too but from last year his novels are changing. Just like his last novel "Your Dreams are Mine Now" this one too is totally based on logic and yes it's hell boring.

Honestly speaking there's no story in it, it's all about how one should deal with the situation if he or she is an extramarital affair. Yes it's actually tantamount to those bollywood movies of the 90s but there's a logical twist. Instead of making one guilty the author has logically solved the problem. In short the author has showed us that being american by dress isn't enough we need to be Americanized from our heart. And if you can't accept extramarital affair there is this character Manvika who'll produce logic for you to fight your thoughts.

Basically this isn't like John Green's books where the characters weave the story, this isn't like Nicholas Spark's "Safe Heavens" either where problems are revealed with time, here the knot already exists and the author has thrown three characters to disentangle it. You can predict the entire story from the very first page and at times the book is quite monotonous except a few places where the author has spoken about several aspects of gym ( last year i saw him uploading a picture in gym vests, i guess since then he has joined gym and as writers are the mirrors of society the entire gym is reflected in his book. He has even dedicated this book to his gym instructor. Sometimes you may feel that this book is all about gym only.). So, why this book got published ? Simple because it's based on a grave problem of our society.

This book can be a solution to our rising divorce problem but as a romantic novel , no this book isn't up to the mark and i would suggest not to buy this book unless you're going crazy to solve your extramarital relationship. A few noticeable things in this book is it's concept of 'attraction' and 'love' and its concept of 'society' ( If you want to know these concepts, and i guess you should know then you can inbox me freely)

P.S- This review is my own opinion and it may differ with yours.

BOOK REVIEW: She Swiped Right Into My Heart by Sudeep Nagarkar

She Swiped Right Into My Heart
by SUDEEP NAGARKAR

'In the event that you've never had companions, 

You've never truly lived' 

This is the thing that the book says and this is the thing that precisely inside this book. A story comprising the narrative of closest companions and love. 

She Swiped Right into My Heart is an anecdote about affection picked up and lost-and the mending energy of companionship. 

The story rotates around three young ladies, closest companions. Geet, Shibani and Tushita. 

Geet is a standout amongst the most disagreeable young ladies in school however she is closest companions with the excellent and looked for after Shibani. To win the prevalence vote, Geet readies a fanciful sweetheart of her. She realized that the mystery will blast out sometime yet till then she is enamored with her fanciful beau and she is getting much regard on account of her non-existent sweetheart. 

Tushita cherishes Andy, the person who gives her agony as it were. He is constantly possessive about her. At long last when Tushita chooses to separation with him. He gives her a hotshot and makes her life a major wreckage by gifting her extraordinary damage to her body and soul. 

Obviously, Geet's mystery turns out, and she is currently all humiliated in the entire school. However, at that point, Rudra, causes her in being her phony sweetheart. 

Vivaan, Tushita's closest companion comes to think about her circumstance and that she won't have the capacity to walk again so effortlessly. And afterward, he gives her a help. He turns into her quality and rouses her to attempt her best. 

Shibani detests Vivaan on the grounds that he is the companion of Andy, however, later on, she needs to trust that all men are not the same. 

Geet and Rudra fell for each other. Be that as it may, again a fiasco comes into both of their lives. 

Do read the novel to jump into the rushes of a flawless story, loaded with adoration, feelings, sentiment and excellent words. 

Best piece of the story is the journal of Tushita where she keeps in touch with her musings and her story in wonderful words. 

Vivaan turns into the saint of the story by winning all hearts. 

Shibani is solid and overcome. She is sufficiently solid to open up about her homosexuality. The book demonstrates a decent concentrate on this part. Much the same as men are pulled in to ladies and ladies to men, Shibani is pulled in to ladies. It's not her slip-up , she is not doing it purposefully. She is a human like every one of us.
