Book Review - Breaking Free by Neha Nayak



Blurb-
After Noya calls off her wedding on the big day, she decides to travel. Alone. That’s when she notices Ranbir, who is insistently and coincidently touring the same places that are on her itinerary.

She tries her best to avoid him – thinking him to be either someone sent by her parents or a stalker – but whenever she falls into trouble during the journey, he is always there for her. When they meet at her NGO opening ceremony in Goa, she realizes he isn’t a stalker after all.

With time, friendship blossoms and she learns he is about to get married. She also gets to know that his bride – to – be is money – loving imposter and wants to reveal her true intentions. Ranbir is drawn towards Noya and confesses his feelings, but she has other plans. As Ranbir invites Noya for a trek to the Himalayas, he wonders if this could be a journey to their hearts.

Breaking Free is a cocktail of emotions, with the tanginess of love, care, and friendship.

About the story-
The story revolves around Noya who has experienced heartbreak. To relieve herself from the memories of her past, she decides to go on a pilgrimage trip. Throughout her trip, she meets a guy named Ranbir, whom she thinks to be a stalker. Slowly and steadily, their friendship comes back on track and experiences many ups and downs as well.

Writing and Language-
The editing of the book is very poor. Initially, the story has been expressed in the first form, but later on, it turns to be in the third form. There are many grammatical errors. The authoress has to work on her expressive skills as well. The language is no different.

Title and cover-
The title of the book is interesting and has done justice to the story as well. The cover also catches the attention of the readers.

Pros-

  • ·         The story is sweet and simple.

  • ·         The language used is simple and understandable.

Cons-

  • ·         The editing is poor.

  • ·         The authoress needs to work on her writing skills as well.

My verdict-
The story is sweet and simple. Language is understandable. Many times, it goes offbeat. The story seems too fast somewhere. Initially, it resembles the Bollywod movie Jab We Met. But, as it progresses, it has its own twists and turns.

Ratings – 3/5

An Insight of Adhira and the journey of Aditti Gaur

Image
For the first time ever, I am going to conduct an interview on my blog. And, I am glad to introduce Aditti Gaur, today. Her much celebrated book 'Adhira' is back to lure your hearts with her kindness and self - sacrificing traits. So, let's hear about Adhira from the authoress herself.  Q. How did you come up with the idea of writing a book? A. Since childhood or you can say school days, I had a strange habit of writing fictional scenes into my daily diaries, which were inspired from the things happening around me. This strange habit followed me after my marriage also. Just the intensity of the scenes kept on changing, from childhood's immature memories to grown up's mature dramas. One fine day, my husband got one of my diaries and he read the things I wrote in that. He instantly came up with the idea of story writing. After several denies from my side I had to agree on that because he was so sure that I can do it. And that's how Adhira came ou...

Book review - Postcards from Memory by Sameer Satam

Synopsis - Every moment that passes is not coming back. Yes, there might be moments in future, like the one you just experienced. But it's not going to be the same again. The one that was, was one like itself. It cannot be replaced. It's gone... Long gone... Dissolved in this crazy tasting, highly intoxicating drink of life. In an attempt to capture these bits and pieces that keep dissolving to give their distinct flavors to this colorful cocktail, I end up scribbling on my pad. This book is a bouquet of such moments that started with my mindless scribbling and ended up in verses. Sweet, Bitter, Sour, Sublime... Each piece has a taste of its own. About the book- This book is an anthology of poems. You will find poems on every single emotion. The feelings and words are very touching and the poet has summed up every word keenly which matches with every person's emotion. You will relate to this very easily. My verdict - I loved every single poem but my personal t...
