Book Review #77 : Something I Never Told You: Shravya Bhinder
Thank you caspipum for a copy.
Blurb:
When in love, you tend to take each other for granted, and sometimes, that can cost you a lifetime of togetherness . . .
Ronnie knew that his first crush was way out of his league, and yet he pursued and wooed Adira. Shyly and from a distance in the beginning, and more persuasively later. He couldn't believe it when the beautiful Adira actually began to reciprocate, falling in love with him for his simplicity and honesty.
Slowly, as they get close and comfortable with each other, life takes on another hue. From truly magical it becomes routine. There are fights and then making-up sessions-a clash of egos and doubts.
Things begin to change for the worst.
It is too late.
Ronnie and Adira will probably never find their forever after .
My Take:
Falling in love is one thing, and loving the same person for a lifetime in spite of their flaws and nature is another. Raunak (Ronnie) and Adira's story here talks about a very strong aspect of love and relationships.
We all fall in love, once our feelings are reciprocated we take them for granted. Granted that the partner knows we love them ,care for them etc. We never make an attempt to say them in as much words, assuming they know. Relationships are work in progress, they always need assurance and words to feel satisfied and happy.
Raunak falls in love with Adira the first time he sees her, this one sided love from college continues for few years. Destiny gives him opportunity by bringing them face to face, but being the shy guy he is never able to confess in spite of constant nudge from his friend/ cousin Rohit.
Raunak sees her being friends with other guys, which he is unable to digest nor able to pick up courage and confess to her his feelings. Insecure that she might fall in love with someone , he worries but never does the needful, until Rajbhir his boss paves a way by narrating his story of not being able to confess and lose his love forever.
Raunak and Adira come together, fight like normal couples do and make up too. But this time has Raunak gone too far? Will he be able to get Adira back after the ugly spat? Read the book to find out.
The characters are neatly described, the story starts on a emotional note which lays the foundation for the readers to know what is coming their way. A story for people in love, who believe in love. A cliched story with a strong message of never take people or situations for granted. Maybe we might not get a chance to say what it meant to us when relationships go awry.
My Rating:
I would rate this book 3.75/5 . Narration is good and there's lots of scope for improvement for the author. The story dwindles between past and present, connecting them beautifully. You can buy the book here.
