Thanks for such a beautiful book, it kept me glued till the last page. A beautiful love story of four people Meera, Vivaan, Kabir, Nisha. They do not know each other from the begining, they met and one after another as they became close friends by sharing love and affection they came to know the real meaning of life. The importance of love when they are not close, the power of love. The suspense in unusual behavior and that could be positive if given a thought. The sense of belongingnesse when one is very far away. The simple language of love which can be tought by anyone at anytime and at any place has very well discribed. Life teaches us a lot, every situation has somethig special your attitude towards that matters. One should read this book not for fun bit to learn and react in different situations.

This is debut novel from Savi Sharma and I heard a lot of buzz around this on amazon and other sites. I just grabbed my copy out of curiosity. Have tried couple of fiction pieces from Indian authors recently and none of them made me move beyond the initial few pages. I was ending up with unfinished books and did not want this one to add to that queue. So when there was nothing else to do on a rainy afternoon, I picked this one and must say the first few pages are definitely engrossing that I continued further without realizing till I was half way through it.The initial setup of the cafe, an aspiring author, a banker with a hint of mystery, the other parallel leads, were all simple but interesting. But half way through, the plot and proceedings become predictable. The story hits a sluggish path and the initial promise slowly starts vanishing. The ending is also very predictable and pre-climax is dramatic. The story of the parallel leads is also not well conceived and just left as supporting characters. They did show promise at one point which was not developed further.The plus points are the short length of the book which can be completed in a single go, in less than 2 hours. The characters are simple, their emotions, feelings, dilemmas and aspirations are narrated beautifully. There is a certain positivity that is maintained through out the book which gives feel-good vibes. The Radha-Meera silent thread and comparison is a subtle effect by the author. The simplicity is a plus for the book as well as lack of major interesting twists also gives a bit of incomplete feeling towards the end. There are no additional characters introduced as the story does not move beyond the four characters. Which makes the readers wonder at some point about the families and other personal details of these characters.The book will be instantly liked by teenagers and people who love chick lit stories. I definitely found it to be worth a one time read but I am not sure if I will go back anytime soon, as there is nothing superb to make it a repeat read.It is more of a Bollywood love story or a daily soap with a predictable story line. However the author shows good promise for a debut novel and can do better with a more interesting story next time.

A decent easy read. A cute love-story.Liked the way author narrates the story from each character’s perspective. Confusing to start with but get a hang of it quickly.I would have personally liked it more if the author had spent some time to describe and explain the way each character looks as that could help create a character in my mind. Also spend some time to slow things down and describe the surrounding (like the cafe) to make the reader relate to place.These may add up pages to the book and may slow things down but I feel thats the beauty of a book and an author definitely need make complete use of it.Having said that, I liked the story and the characters in the book. Sweet, simple and cute. Managed to finish this one in no time.Keep up the good work Savi Sharma.
