Before I married and realized life is better than fiction, I was a romance book addict.Mills and Boons were my 3 books a day (at least )diet.When I read Roma’s book blurb, it reminded me of my college days and carefree romance.
What better way to spend a weekend than read a sweet poignant book of young love which battles all odds with plenty of interesting twists to keep it from being just a romance.
The author Roma Gupta Sinha has several books under her belt and is experienced in the art of mingling social issues in a chick lit romance.
The protagonists are sketched out in interesting details with enough mystery to keep this romance a page turner.
Who is this for?
Chicklit lovers, rustic romance, and young adult fiction readers will enjoy reading it.This is the perfect book to spend a weekend afternoon reading curled up in your armchair.
Romance with an underlying thread of social justice to make it interesting
What could have been better?
The background and childhood of the main female character Priyam is too turbulent.Her mother who has suffered as much as her seems to be left without fleshing it out.I felt her character could have been more developed.Meer is a nice character perfect boyfriend material in fact.
So no complaints there.
Would I recommend it?
Recommended for anyone looking for a light breezy romance. Overall an entertaining read.

I’ve read it too for the Carnival (my review will be up soon). I agree with you, it’s a very sweet story, with a lo of hope in spite of all the difficulties.
I too thought Priyam’s past needed a lot more flashing out. It is only mentioned almost in passing. I was never sure what it was that make her so untrusty of men.
The storyline is very interesting
