Why not me?

️  Love is selfless !!
️  Love has no limits !!
️  Love is unconditional !!
 


Is it so??
 
This is a love story which shows...how you should not love. And infact this book proves that the above sayings about LOVE are not completely true.
 
Since we have terms and conditions for everything, why not for love?
And here the terms should be....
All those quotes about love will be applicable only when you love someone who deserves it.
Not all will deserve you or your love right?

"Why not me? - A feeling of millions"  by Anubhav Agrawal is the author's true story of one-sided love and one-sided lose.


Anubhav meets Zoya through Facebook and they instantly like each other after a couple of conversations.  Anubhav knew that he is in love with Zoya and he always makes sure that he conveys it clearly. Zoya on the other hand is not ready to trust anyone yet, after been cheated by her ex-boyfriend earlier.

Though it might seem weird to fall in love with someone without even meeting them or seeing them, we all have been there. It's facebook era and on top of it "teenage". So what else can happen !!
 

Anubhav waited for Zoya to fall for him and after 2 years of distance and desperate wait, Zoya finally confesses her feelings for him and they are happily set to start their new relationship.
 
Meanwhile Zoya had to move out of town for her medical college and they start worrying about how this long distance relationship would work. 

As expected, things start falling apart and our Anubhav, as always, is there for Zoya (first as a friend and now as a boyfriend). But will Zoya be there for Anubhav when he needs her??

"Give time the time to heal you!"

Overall it's a good read but is too slow and predictable !! 

 
P.S : Sometimes it's too melodramatic and has too many exaggerations. But if you look at it as a teenager, such things happen in teenage.
And what are 'SUCH THINGS'?
  • Loving someone blindly, beyond the limits.
  • Giving tremendous amounts of love to someone who doesn't even care or deserve.
 
P.P.S : As the caption says, it is the story of thousands and a feeling of millions !
 
 
Happy Reading !!

A Wedding in December

It's December already and on top of it, the wedding season.
 
So I thought why not "A Wedding in December" !!


Soon after reading the blurb, I picked it up without pondering much or going through the reviews. And guess what? I discovered that my instincts are improving day by day.😛 (Although, I must agree that the beautiful cover looks too good to ignore).

Such a heartwarming and beautiful story it is !!

I realized as I'm reading this book, that in each fictional book I read till date, I'm finding atleast one character who is very interesting or very relatable to me. And in this, it's Jordon. Don't ask me why!! I just liked his portrayal. 

So here goes all the adjectives for describing the characters :

An impulsive younger sister-Rosie, An over-protective elder sister-Katie, the caring mother-Maggie and the workoholic father-Nick. This is "The White's" family, who have a tradition of celebrating every Christmas at their HoneySuckle Cottage in Oxford, England.

(But this Christmas is different and the one to be remembered. Want to know why? Go ahead!!)

Meet the loving boyfriend (Dan) with an interesting best man by his side (Jordon) along with a super-active and super-kind (to-be) mother-in-law (Katherine).

These are the limited characters that you'll see in the book and every character is special on it's own.

Storyline - As impulsive as she is, Rosie decides to get married to Dan, her current boyfriend whom she barely knew for few months. And as protective as she always is, Katie isn't sure of her younger sister's decision and wants to know more about Dan.

Maggie and Nick, having been lived separately for over 6 months, were on the brink of getting divorce. But by the sudden announcement from Rosie, they decide to keep their divorse a secret, atleast until the wedding.

They were all just a week away from the so called Christmas-Wedding of Rosie and Dan. Also, a wedding has to happen how it is planned right? But unexpected things happen when everyone have second thoughts about everything!!

Katie, apart from having her own emotional twinge with Jordan (Dan's close friend and the best man for the wedding), fails to find a flaw in Dan in order to call off the wedding.

Rosie garners new doubts about the wedding happening too soon and how can she tell everyone that she's still thinking?

Maggie and Nick are stuck at the edge of their relation and this wedding vacation apparently becomes their second honeymoon (all thanks to Katherine, Dan's mother).

With all these confusing and strange out of the plan events, will the Wedding actually happen in December??

You can read the excerpt of this book here from the author Sarah Morgan's website.

P.S : Nothing! Expect some snowy mountains and trails, as it's winter. Also, just grab a cup of coffee and start reading/listening before the wedding season ends or December flies. 

P.P.S : Absolutely no problem if you read even after that. Just saying!!


Happy Reading :)
