About
the Author: Sandhya
Jane
The
Author’s style of writing can be termed not only as matured but extremely
confident too. The Book is unique in the sense that the whole book has been
written from two different points of views. One chapter has been written from
the point of view of Avantika and the other one from Rohan, both the lead protagonists.
Although this is a very difficult way of writing, but the author has pulled it
off with such finesse that it seems very natural. While doing so, she has done
full justice to the male point of view, and that too, without sounding
judgemental or without taking sides of either of them.
Generally,
when one tries to echo two different opinions on the same subject,
repetitiveness cannot be ignored. However, the author has done a commendable
job on that too.
About
the book :
The
book is about Avantika’s journey through love and life. It has the elements of
romance mixed with inner struggle. A very beautifully written book, which talks about giving second chances to oneself
and deliberates upon the complexities of human relationships.
The
Synopsis:
Avantika,
a successful investment banker, a single mother, who has a difficult past is struggling
against her growing attraction for her charming colleague Rohan. She decides to
tread cautiously where Rohan is concerned.
Rohan,
an attractive, smart, aspiring investment banker, two ranks junior to her is a
part of Avantika’s team. Even he struggles to gain the foothold in his career,
while at the same time battling against his strong desire for Avantika.
They
struggle ends when both give in, only to make way for a disastrous exit when Rohan
chooses duty over love. He goes on a
guilt trip for breaking Avantika’s heart. On the other hand, Avantika finds
solace in spirituality.
Will
they ever be able to meet again? Will she accept him back in her life ever?
From
the Reader’s point of view: When I went through the blurb of the book, I thought that it
would be yet another Boy meets Girl story; they meet; they fight; then they are
unsure before reaching agreement, etc.. I was proved wrong by the author. The
author was creative enough to allow Avantika to make decisions which were not
only unique but far more sensible too.
Cover
Page: A beautiful
cover page, but could have been better designed.
Overall
Rating: 4.5/5
