My take on the book
I would begin by saying that this book
is a simple romantical read. A fictional romantic story of two people falling in love
and trying their best to keep their love strong and going. The two characters
Abhi and Aparna are refreshing. I am sure the author has no intention to write
the book in a typical love story, but it does give out a romantic touch, where
readers will enjoy the chemistry shared by them.
The story revolves around Aparna and
Abhi. The male protagonist Abhi is a shy boy who happens to fall madly in love
with Aparna. With the help of his friends Manish and Nidhi, Abhi took the
courage to ask Aparna out and that’s how their love blossomed. However, reality
strikes when both of them happen to go their own ways to study, followed
by taking jobs in a different city. The book shows how falling in love and
keeping the love floating needs more than just time and trust. It includes
family coming in the picture and making things more complicated. We are all
aware of how love marriage is a big thing in Indian society and the book has
clearly highlighted the same message.
Going by the subtitle of the book which
says, ‘Love is not a relationship’ it is clear that Love is more than that. I
won’t be giving away much about the story line, but I will surely say it is a typical love story of two people falling in love in a beautiful way and meeting the standard of
keeping the love alive.
I though the book was a cute read and it kept me engrossed till the end. With everything going smooth in the beginning, it however takes a turn in the later part of the story. Will they meet again,
will they find someone else. will they be able to know what is love and what is
a relationship, will they stand by each other or will someone else stand by
them? Read the story of two individuals who will bring romance, emotion, and
struggle and tell you what love is. Find out by grabbing a copy of 'she stood by me,' by Tarun Vikash.
