Book Review

Teenagers and youngsters in their early 20's will definitely love this book. I found the language too simple, and even a beginner will understand. What would catch the attention of the reader is the simplicity and the honesty with which this book has been written, that makes the reader so gullible to believe the events of the novel. And also the fact that love stories don’t always end with a happy ending.

Some of the quotes from the Book:

"She Died. I Survived.
Because I Survived. I Die Everyday.”

“NOT everyone in this world has the fate to cherish the fullest form of love.
some are born ,just to experience the abbreviation of it.”

“Someday you might be sad, when you might wish to talk to me but i might not able to do so.”

“Tere jaane ka asar kuch aisa hua mujh par, tujhe dhoondate dhoondate, maine khud ko paa liya”

JD’s rating: 4.0/5.0
