Book Review of 'NOTHING FOR YOU MY DEAR...Still I Love You'

BOOK : NOTHING FOR YOU MY DEAR…Still I Love You

AUHTOR: ARPIT DUGAR

PAGES: 183

BLURB:

Avinash, the young protagonist of the story is not really keen on getting married. But he agrees to look at the prospective brides as he does not want to disappoint his parents. One such girl he gets to meet is Neha. Avinash honestly admits to Neha that he is not interested in marriage. When she asks him for the reason behind his decision, he recounts his past. He remembers Lisha, a beautiful girl he had fallen in love with during college. He also remembers how he and his friend were mistaken for a crime, caught by the cops and then spared. While narrating the story, the author also describes some beautiful places in Jaipur and Dehradun. What happened to Avinash’s college love story? Will he now end up marrying Neha?

MY TAKE ON THE BOOK:

I read it for the second time and kind of thought I need to put up a review for this beautiful book. The first time I read this book, it was in paperback format while on my second read, I read it from kindle.

Avinash, portrayed in the story as a rich, handsome and descent guy was being forced by his parents to get married. Avinash was been obliged by his mother to pick Neha from the beauty parlor. He can't refuse his mother and went for it. In their way to home, Avinash disclosed honestly the fact that he doesn't want to marry anyone. When being asked by Neha why he do not wanted to marry, he tells her a story.

This book is a roller coaster of emotions that would surely take a toll on you.

It takes you though the story Avinash tells Neha in the car. Avinash takes her to a flashback journey of his college days and the girl he loved head over heels.

He starts telling about his life right from the beginning. From his childhood. He told her about Lisha, with whom he played many pranks. He told almost everything he could have told.

I loved the part in the book where Avinash and his friends go out for a walk after midnight and steal litchis for fun and then get caught up by the cops who were investigating a rape case that has taken place at the very same spot the boys were found. 

Avinash, a pretty simple guy described in the book gets into trouble every time even when he isn’t responsible for it. Once he was taken by the police, in another scene it was shown that he was rusticated from the college. In one or the other way he is time and again surrounded with problems.

The larger portion of the book is the conversation between Neha and Avinash.

The story Avnish was telling Neha, was quite predictable (may be because I read it for the second time and I kind of know what was going on). The shock was the Sarojini Nagar blast that changed everything.

Did Avinash marry Neha after that?

What happened to the girl Avinash loved?  Where was Lisa? This you will find when you read the book.

The cartoon characters printed at the beginning of some of the chapters are eye-catchy and in some way, help in describing what the author intended to in that scene. 

The thing which I learned reading the book is, nothing is permanent. The ones you love may not love you back, but it’s better to be honest. The ones you love may love you even much more than you can think, but, may be time isn’t right at that moment.

Love comes our way, sometimes we ignore it and the other times it is just lost within the thin air. 

   

The things I disliked in this book is- firstly, use of too many hindi phrases (which makes the content weak) and secondly, the cover of the book (It could have been better).

P.S.- I liked the book and would suggest others to read it too. But again, my taste of books might not be the same with you.

Overall rating- 3/5

Book Review Of 'And the Mountains Echoed'

Book: And the Mountains Echoed

Author: Khaled Hosseini

Pages: 466

BLURB:

Ten-year-old Abdullah would do anything for his younger sister. In life of poverty and struggle, with no mother to care for them, Pari is the only person who brings Abdullah happiness. For her, he will trade his only pair of shoes to give her a feather for her treasured collection. When their father sets off with Pari across the desert to Kabul in search of work, Abdullah is determined not to be separated form her. neither brother nor sister knows what this fateful journey will bring them.

And the Mountains Echoed is a deeply moving epic heartache, hope and, above all, the unbreakable bonds of love.

MY TAKE ON THE BOOK:

I had this book with me since a long time, but this lockdown period made me take hold of this book.

And I don’t know how and why I escaped myself from reading this book for so long that was just lying on my table. I know everyone loves Khaled Hosseini’s work and this beautiful story ‘And the Mountains Echoed’ is just an amazing work of his.

Looking at the cover, my first impression was that there would be mountains and maybe, the story was portrayed in a place where beautiful landscapes are shown, rivers are flowing and you know, everything going smoothly and all.

But when you go deep into the story, it’s not what you think. The story is portrayed at Kabul, a land covered with deserts. And nothing goes smoothly, the attacks on Afghanistan, the bullets, the untimely death and tragedies are evident in the book.

There was a letter, rather I would say a long letter, which was given to Mr. Markos by Nabi who was the chauffer and care taker of Mr. Suleiman Wahdati. The letter which was mentioned was only to be read after the death of Nabi. The letter was enclosed with the will of the property that was in the name of ‘Pari’.

Nabi was Abdullah and Pari’s uncle. While delivering Pari, they have lost their mother. Nabi always tried to be attentive to them, especially to Abdullah, who most seemed to need it. Once a month, Mr. Wahdati generously let him borrow his car, and he would drive down to Shadbagh, his native village to visit Parwana and her husband Saboor. He offer to take Abdullah and Pari rides in the car, to make them feel that they are not alone.

Later on, Pari and Abdullah who shared unbreakable bond were separated when Pari was left with Nila to spend the rest of her life on the insistence of Nabi who worked at their place.  

Nila was a poet. Her poems defied tradition. They followed no preset meter or rhyming pattern. Nor did they deal with the usual things, trees, and spring flowers and bulbul birds. Nila wrote about love, and by love its not about Sufi yearnings of Rumi but instead physical love. 

Mr. Wahdati (Nila’s husband) suffers from stroke and become bed ridden. It was Nabi who took care of him. After Mr. Wahdati’s bed ridden condition, Nila took Pari along with her and moved to France leaving everything behind.

Nabi mentioned everything in the letter which made Markos think really hard. Markos was a plastic surgeon who came to Kabul to serve the mankind and lived with Nabi in his house along with some other people who were with him to help in uplifting the situations of Kabul at that time. 

Thalia(who began living with Markos and his mother in a small island of Tinos), a girl who has disfigured face from the childhood due to the attack of a dog, hides her disfigured face with a veil for the sake of her extremely beautiful mother. Who was later abandoned by her mother for her disfigurement. And later on, she refuses to correct the disfigurement when even Markos urges for it because she think this is her identity.

 Later on, the story is concluded with a bitter sweet ending where Abdullah’s daughter Pari, brings a guest to her home for her father who was none other than his own sister Pari. They were separated during their childhood which was a tragic one.

And before Abdullah was diagnosed with Alzheimers, he gives his sister the box he kept safe, the box with the collected feathers in myriads of colours, especially the peacock feather with that big eye and the write up along with them.

I really enjoyed reading this book and after reading this book, I am sure I am never going to remove this from the list of my favourite ones.

P.S.- Suggesting everyone to read this particular book. It is truly an amazing story. And I am sure after reading this book you will thank me for suggesting it to you.

Book Review Of 'Life is What you Make It'

BOOK- LIFE IS WHAT YOU MAKE IT

AUTHOR- PREETI SHENOY

PAGES-224

BLURB-

Life is what you make it is based on a love story that has been set in India in the 90’s. it has been described by the readers as a book potraying how love, hope and determination can together win over even the destiny. It is a gripping tale of a few significant years of the protagonist’s life.

The novel revolves around a woman in her 20s, Ankita, who has a past haunting her like a nightmare. As she grows up from adolescence to a woman in her mid 20s, she wades through different situations, engages in affairs with a couple of guys and is set-back by her parents refusal to accept her situation.

As a result of non-stop upheavals in her life, Ankita develops bipolar disorder at one point of time.

The story revolves around Ankita’s struggles, determination, her decisions and her faith in self. The book beautifully describes how she gets acquainted with her bipolar disorder, how she decides to help her own self and how she battles these situations all by herself.

MY TAKE ON THE BOOK-

What attracted me the most is the title of the book. The title made me eager to try and read this book. I was in class IX, I still remember. One of our teachers told us to write a review on a book and that was when I first wrote my book review. Although it was a long time back, I feel happy recalling those days. And this was the first book I wrote a review on ‘Life is what you make it’.

The story is set in the time of 90’s and moves around two cities.

The protagonist Ankita is in her 20’s who seems to have issues from the past that haunts her present. The prologue starts with Ankita sitting on a chair outside the doctor’s office.

The story begins with flashback and there are letters being exchanged between Ankita and Vaibhav. As the story moves on it becomes more clear that Ankita’s parents are one of those typical Indian parents who are strict and doesn’t approve their girls being in the group of boys or doesn’t approve any guy calling at home. But somehow Ankita and Vaibhav kept in touch.

Abhi the guy who she met at an inter-collegiate event begins to woo her. Later they remained in contact though calls and messages and sometime meeting each other. Ankita didn’t tell Vaibhav about Abhi and neither did she told Abhi about Vaibhav. Pretending Vaibhav all is well.

Later with Ankita getting into MBA in different city, she refused Abhi and his plea to stay in touch.

(Only if she had told him that she would be in contact, may be Abhi would have survived. What I hated the most in this story is Ankita’s feelings toward Abhi. Abhi was just being helpless ‘coz Ankita was leaving the city soon and may be it happens. At times we become weak, we become empty to see the person drifting away from us, there’s a void which makes the heart heavy with the guilt of nothingness. He just asked her to be in contact but she was a rock. She didn’t reply and turned him off. That caused all the troubles and may be that was the reason Abhi was found dead in the beach the next morning. The waves bringing his body close to the shore.)

The story goes from one city to another when Ankita with all her hard work and determination makes it to her dream of MBA. But perhaps life had some other plan for her. she ended up being in a mental hospital.

This event followed a big mark on her because she knew Abhi and loved him at some point of time. Why Abhi died nobody knew but the reason of Abhi’s death was evident to Ankita.

She moved on to the next city with a broken heart and when every thing was going good, her parents found out the ‘love letters’ and turn on her. In front of her they burnt the letters, from this, a huge bunch of emotions filled her heart and thereon her problems arises. She begins to miss he classes and college. She finds herself in a disturbing situation partly due to her fault and partly due to destiny.

Read the story to know more about Ankita, Abhi and Vaibhav. How did she managed herself with the episodes of mania and depression is beautifully written in the book.

P.S.-  it is the story of Ankita’s illness and her fight with it. It is a story of will power and establishes that even destiny can be overcome by determination. It is a story of love and more a story of hope.

You won’t regret reading this book. J

Book Review of 'Brahmahatya'

BOOK- BRAHMAHATYA
AUTHOR- RAJIV MITTAL
FORMAT- E-BOOK

BLURB-

A story of revenge and redemption and deeds shaped by forces that humans believe they have defined through mythology and scriptures but still struggle to understand.

A woman employee of a retirement home is shocked to discover that a new resident is in fact the son impersonating his father. The son is seeking revenge. She, by her past actions, is unwittingly complicit in his being there and now tries to thwart his peculiar plans. A senile woman-resident and an enigmatic founder offer him sage advice. The samudra manthan (a major episode in Hindu mythology), a slightly dim secretary and a sinister boss play their part in ensuring justice is finally served but in an unexpected manner.


MY TAKE ON THE BOOK-

“Brahmahatya” as the title reveals it is the act of killing a Brahmin.

Ravi Narasimhan referred to as Ravi in the content is the son Naru sir (generally used in the book)

Ravi works in Dubai and is the only descendant of his family. His father is a lone man staying in an apartment connected to his son through a mobile phone. His father was quite old and remained ill most of the time. The hospitalization of his father brought Ravi Narasimhan back to his hometown Chennai from Dubai. After reaching his hometown, he went directly to meet his father. His father’s condition was unstable and meanwhile, he needed to go back Dubai soon to attend a meeting. Since time was less, he thought of enrolling his father in a retirement home so that someone would be there for taking care of his father along with helping him in certain activities.

He got information about GMR, which was a retiring home, from a doctor who was treating his father. He tried to enroll his father there, but to his fate, the admission of his father in GMR wasn’t possible because of some medical regimen. His father wasn’t stable and that was the reason he had to take his steps back from GMR.

With the last hope, he went to “Blessing” which was yet an old age home where old people are taken care of. Somehow Ravi did his father’s admission there and went back to Dubai for his work.

One day, a sudden call from “Blessing” gave the news of his father’s death.

Ravi was fired from his job. And on that very day, he received a parcel informing that his father’s admission is approved by the committee of GMR.

Ravi was lost and didn’t know what to do.

Dr. Chari was the person who refused the admission of his father in the medical ground at GMR due to which he blamed Dr. Chari for the demise of his father.

Bhavna was a nurse at GMR, who used to take care of the people admitted in GMR. It was due to the fault of Dr. Chari, her daughter, Laxmi was born with cerebral palsy, which ruined her family and her husband.

Ravi, with no hope in life, acted the role of his father and took admission in GMR.

Mr. Kasturi was the founder of GMR, who was also a regular visitor in Ravi’s room. Kasturi handed over a book to Ravi which once was given by someone to him. What was that book about? To know more, read the book.

P.S.-The story has many turns and twists which eventually keeps a person engrossed in the story.

What happened at the climax was totally different from the initial chapters. Go through the book to resolve the tangled mystery in the book.

Book Review of 'The Forty Rules of Love'

BOOK- THE FORTY RULES OF LOVE

AUTHOR- ELIF SHAFAK

PAGES- 350

BLURB-

Ella Rubinstein has a husband, three teenage children, and a pleasant home. Everything that should make her confident and fulfilled. Yet there is an emptiness at the heart of Ella’s life—an emptiness once filled by love.

So when Ella reads a manuscript about the thirteenth- century Sufi poet Rumi and Shams of Tabriz, and his forty rules of life and love, she is shocked out of herself. Turning her back on her family she embarks on a journey to meet the mysterious author of this work.

It is a quest infused with Sufi mysticism and verse, taking Ella and us into an exotic world where faith and love are heartbreakingly explored…

MY TAKE ON THE BOOK-

Firstly, the cover is really gorgeous and beautiful.

Secondly, if you are lost, looking for answers or if you want to read some philosophical writings I will suggest you this book

The Forty Rules of Love is a book full of wisdom and knowledge. It is a novel within a novel. Looking at the title of the book one may mistake it simply about rules of love between partners but it is something beyond that. It explores the love in friendship, family, religion and life.

 This book consists of two parallel narratives. The first one is Ella. A bored housewife who feels stalled despite her gracious suburban life in Northampton, Massachusetts. Her teenage children are growing away from her and her husband is distant and unfaithful. Ella’s new job as a reader for a literary agency introduces her to Sufism through a manuscript she is sent to read which had a life changing impact on her. And the second one is ‘Sweet Blasphemy’, set in 13^th century, which is about a wandering dervish Shams of Tabriz, a mystic Sufi who thinks he should find a companion to whom he can deliver his knowledge.

(Let me tell you the meaning of Blasphemy- here you can take it as disrespect or something that is wrong)

Building her whole life around her husband and children, Ella lacked any survival techniques to help her cope with life’s hardships on her own. She was not the type to throw caution to the wind. Even changing her daily coffee brand was a major effort.

Love came to Ella as suddenly and brusquely as if a stone had been hurled from out of nowhere into the tranquil pond of her life.

As the story unfolds, Ella finds herself mesmerized with the tale she is currently reading. She felt so engrossed with her work that she wanted to know about the characters more and more. That’s when she googled ‘A. Z. Zahara’ the author of the book she was to write a report on. And to her surprise a personal blog appeared. The blog was titled ‘An Eggshell Named Life’ she found pictures of different places and underneath one photo it read:

No matter who we are or where we live, deep inside we all feel

Incomplete. It’s like we have lost something and need to get it back. Just

 what that something is, most of us never find out. And of those who do,

even fewer manage to go out and look for it.

Ella scrolled up and down the webpage and that’s where she got the e-mail address of Aziz. She noted it down and after a few days of exchanging e-mails, it became more frequent. It was obvious from the novel that both of them were in the same page of love. But you never know what life is going to bring isn’t it?

Baba Zaman was the one who taught Sufism to Shams of Tabriz. Baba Zaman got a letter from a person which said he was looking for a companion of Rumi(Maulana Jalal-Uddin).

(At first I thought that Rumi is a female character in the book, but then I was wrong :D)

 Shams believed he had a special mission in this world, and to this end he wished to enlighten an enlightened person. Thus, when he got the permission from Baba Zaman if he could go for the mission, without thinking of any consequences he went forward to an unknown land of Konya.

The author nailed it narrating the ‘sweet blasphemy’ the way it was shown in many perspectives of Shams, sometimes a beggar, the zealot, Rumi, the prostitute or even the family of Rumi. The novel beautifully portrayed the love of Rumi for Shams and the hatred of the townspeople and Rumi’s family towards Shams.

Kimya didn’t deserve the sorrows. My heart really bled while reading her part. Kerra too was annoyed and not satisfied with the change that Rumi was having in him due to the influence of Shams.

Ella later abandons her family and follows the path with Aziz. But that happiness didn’t last long. Aziz died after almost two years and his body was buried at Konya, where he wished it would be.

What happened to Aziz? How did he die? You have to read the book to know the details.

Some of the lines I liked the most in this book-

•       The past is a whirlpool. If you let it dominate your present moment, it will suck you in.

•         Life is temporary loan and this world is nothing but a sketchy imagination of reality.

•        Love cannot be explained. It can only be experienced. Love cannot be explained, yet it explains all.

•         The past is an interpretation. The future is an illusion. The world does not move through time as if it were a straight line, proceeding from the past to the future. Instead time moves within us, in endless spirals.

•         In chess, just as life, there were moves you made because they were the right thing to do.

This book is something that will make you feel good. But again, it depends on the choice of your reading.

P.S.- This book won’t make you feel sad or low. Instead, it will make you stand in the sea of reality and teach you things that will provide you a sense of realization of everything that relates to you and your life.

 And yes, forty rules are there but they aren’t just the rules of love, it includes life, religion, patience and God.

Overall rating- 4.7/5

Book Review of 'STORIES WE NEVER TELL'

BOOK- STORIES WE NEVER TELL

AUTHOR- SAVI SHARMA

PAGES-207

BLURB:

There are stories we never talk about. Stories we are afraid to share. They simply hurt too much, or no one wants to listen to them.

Such is the story of Jhanvi, who is a budding social media influencer. She appears to have it all together, living her ideal life, but something is missing: Jhanvi has this impossible need that drives her to be more perfect than any person could possibly be.

And the story of Ashray, who had a rocky start in life. with hard work and determination, he translates his dreams into reality, but his deep-seated insecurities come to the fore when life throws him a curveball.

As the two stories intersect, their lives change in ways they never expected.

In a world of loss, darkness and destruction, will Jhanvi and Ashray be able to tell a story of hope, light and recovery?

MY TAKE ON THIS BOOK-

The title of the book appropriately go with the story.

‘Story we never tell’ is the story of Jhanvi and Ashray, and it starts with the heartbreak of Jhanvi, and Ashray’s new job.

Ashray was left on the steps of an orphanage when he was a baby. He never knew his parents or whoever it was who left him there in the orphanage. He was never allowed to grieve for the loss of his parents. He was an orphaned child and that was his reality.

Akshita, who was a widowed woman, visited the orphanage to fill her life with the love of children. Soon, Ashray and Akshita formed a bond which felt unbreakable. By the time Ashray was five, she adopted him and Ashray found a new Maa in her. Through the years, they worked through the internal pain and fears.

He(Ashray) met Sakshi when he was travelling by a train where he had a small conversation with her and somewhere deep inside he found himself attracted towards her.  Though he never found her on his train ride from his office or from his home, but destiny is great. After he got a new job, he along with his friend Rishi went to Goa Music Festival where he met Sakshi again. There they formed a good bond and continued to be together when they were back at Mumbai. He was deeply in love with her and was even prepared to marry her but then, one day Sakshi told him that she has to marry someone her parents have chosen for her and this breaks him.

After a few days, when he wasn’t even over with Sakshi, his mother has a heart attack and lands up in a hospital. And unfortunately she dies.

‘Life is fleeting, it is temporary, and it should be spent loving the people we choose to let into our life. Everyone who enters our life must leave it eventually. But how we choose to spend our time with them is entirely upon us.’  

The death of his mother gave him a total shock due to which he got admitted in the hospital his mother died because of his panic attack.

Jhanvi on the other hand, trying to be a perfectionist, kept posting her pictures to show people how beautiful her life was when inside she knew how she was living her life. She was so much addicted with alcohol and diet pills that one day she ends up lying unconscious on her floor. Kavya, her friend helped her in all the ways she could and later on tells her that she needs to visit a psychiatrist.

Ashray was told to visit the psychiatrist for his panic attacks.

It was at Dr. Shyam’s clinic both of them met each other and developed a bond. People in need tend to lean on each other, the wounded often seeking out other wounded.

According to Sr. Shyam, Jhanvi, always resistant as she is, was a challenge. Her need for perfection so deep-seated in her created identity that it was tough to get her to separate herself from her perceived reality. But eventually, she could change herself and that was an achievement.

Ashray, he was a proof that life is sometimes nothing more than a roll of the dice.  A game played by fate in which some win and some lose, but no one loses forever. Ashray needed to learn that losing didn’t mean that he was lost, and that winning was not defined by how much, or how little others loved him. For him, the sense of abandonment was formed in his core that will never be replaced. The best that he can do is to find a way to know without a shadow of a doubt that they do not have control over the actions of others.

At the end, Jhanvi and Ashray, two slightly damaged planks laid in opposite directions, bore the weight of their illness. They leaned on each other when the pressure was too much for one of them to handle, and they made it through by finding the one thing that every human being needs. Love.

Overall rating- 3/5

P.S.- It is a story of hope, light and recovery. A light read that can be completed in one go.

Book Review of 'WILL GRAYSON, WILL GRAYSON'

Book- WILL GRAYSON, WILL GRAYSON

Authors- JOHN GREEN & DAVID LEUITHAN

Pages-308

BLURB-

One cold night, in a most unlikely corner of Chicago, two strangers cross paths. Two teens with the same name, running in two very different circles, suddenly find their lives going in new and unexpected directions, culminating in heroic turns-of-heart and the most epic musical ever to grace the high-school stage.

MY TAKE ON THE BOOK-

To begin with the title, the title depicts a name and they are basically two names of two different person but ironically the name of both the individuals that the authors described in the novel is the same. 

The story goes along the narratives of Will Grayson who is straight, the other Will Grayson, who is depressed and Tiny Cooper (the world’s largest person who is really, really gay). Tiny is putting up a musical ‘Tiny Dancer’ for which he is very much energetic and optimistic about.

After reading the first few chapters I was so much confused thinking what was actually going on in this book. Because as you go on you will get to know there are two Will Grayson. And it’s difficult to keep a tract of who is who.

 It starts with them not knowing each other until their paths inevitably converge the night the first Will Grayson went to meet Isaac, his online friend but ended up meeting the Other Will Grayson(o.w.g)  and Tiny Cooper.

You can differentiate the two Will Grayson in this way. For one of them, the letters are small without any capitalization like-

me: i’m glad that you exist

tiny:  i’m glad to be existing with right now.

me: you have no idea how wrong you are about me.

tiny: you have no idea how wrong you are about yourself.

me: stop that.

tiny: only if you stop it.

me: i’m warning you.

While in the other Will Grayson, the words are capitalized, like this-

‘Five hundred channels and nothing’s on’

‘You get the day off?’ I ask.

‘I can always get someone to cover’ he says. ‘Always’

‘I’m okay,’ I say.

‘I know you are. I just wanted to be home with you, that’s all.’

I blink out some tears, but Dad has the decency not to say anything about it.

This is one way of differentiating Will Grayson from the other Will Grayson.

This generation knows the perks and curse of the internet unknown and fake social media which in the novel is pointed out. O.W.G(Other Will Grayson) is also shown how he ends up heartbroken knowing that his internet friend, Isaac was actually Maura. While the first Will Grayson’s love life is set up by his friend Tiny to Jane Turner.

Will Grayson after knowing that Maura was Isaac, stopped talking and paying any attention to her. although she came and begged and apologized to him, he didn’t pay any heed. But at the near ending of the novel, Will goes up to Maura and says that ‘look. i just want you to know that while i still think what you did was completely shitty to you, too. not in the elaborately shitty way that you were to me, but still pretty shitty. i should have just been honest with you and told you i didn’t want to talk to you or be your boyfriend or be your best friend or anything like that. i tried—i swear i tried. but you didn’t want to hear what i was saying, and i used that as an excuse to let it go on.’ ‘It wasn’t you I liked. It was Isaac’.

In this book, the authors used the trial and error thing so nicely that it really makes sense. In a part where the two Will Grayson were talking to each other, one of them says that ‘In my recent experience, I’d say hurt tends to drown out sorry.’ To which the other Will says that ‘I guess there’s a reason they don’t call it ’trial and success’.It’s just try-and-error’.

But then, somehow this trial and error is pessimistic and maybe that’s what it is most of the time. And that’s how you find ‘it’. Like try-error-try-error-it or may be try-error going on for 15 more times and then you get ‘it’. (it- meaning what you really want)

Tiny Cooper ties the lives of the two Will Grayson in the end which makes him a hero

.

This book is a book about love in all its forms. About falling in love, about falling out of love, about loving your family, your friends, about realizing that love does not equal sex and its okay to love platonically; it is about acceptance, love for oneself. Even if you are a gay or the biggest fat guy.   

P.S- This book describes about the things a teenager guy faces being a straight or a gay whichever he is.

P.S.S- I can’t say whether you would like this book or not because it truly depends if you are able to understand the authors point of view.

Overall Rating: 3.6/5
