Book Review - Love bi the Way by Bhaavna Arora

Blurb-

Rihana is a painter who is trying to find inspiration in love. Zara is a businesswoman trying to make a niche for her company in a male-dominated world. While Rihana is fire, Zara is ice; Rihana is openly sensual, while Zara is more cautious with her heart – they are opposites that attract. They are different people bound together by their house – ‘Cupid’ – and their pet golden retriever, Tiger.

As they navigate their fulfilling careers and try to leave behind troubled pasts, they find solace in each other. But Tiger is not the only male in their lives. Rihana finds herself a string of sexy men, while Zara emerges out of her shell and meets an actual prince who sweeps her off her feet. But can these relationships last? And what road will they take when love happens bi the way?

About the story-

The plot revolves around two girls – Rihana and Zara. Both of them are doing extremely well in their careers. Albeit both of them are different from each other, but the only thing that is common between them is the scar from the past. Both of them have had a broken families and their share of wounds. Now, after toiling hard, they find their love in an unexpected place.

Writing & Narration-

The writing style of the authoress is common, but the thing that I really liked is the way in which the authoress has elucidated the little facts of the society. The way Nandini is trying hard to cope- up with her drunkard husband and still didn’t want to leave him because he is the ‘Man’ of the house and the way her husband leaves no opportunity to beat her black and blue is something that is no exception in this society.

The narrative skill of the authoress is also good and I could easily connect myself with the characters of the book.

Title & Cover-

The title of the books is interesting and forces readers to explore the content of the book. The cover is really unique and intriguing.

Pros-

• ·         The book holds something unique than the other ‘Love’ based books.
• ·         The character justification is the up-to-the -mark.
• ·         The emotions have been woven fine.

Cons-

The writers hold the power to change the world with their words. The authoress has chosen a substantial theme, but she should have worked a bit more on the enhancement so that she could have given a proper message to the society to ponder upon.

My verdict-

“Love is like the truth – everyone has their own version. The heart has its own justification for love, especially the one the world denies.” This whole sentence justifies the book in one line. Our society has a very different definition of “Love.” According to the society, love is something that should only exist between a man and a woman. Anything other than this is illegal and unacceptable.

Although, we are progressing towards something good; but this progress is only limited to the technology and other resources. When it comes to the mindset and the freedom, we are still living in the era where unusual norms and regulations are the only things people follow.

In reality, there is no precise definition of love. One can love anyone in whom one can find solace. If only the society can understand! But, Bhaavna Arora, through this book is trying to give out a message to the society, which could have been more subtle.
