Book Review - VoiceMates by Anamika Mishra

Blurb-
Tulip Hill is an intelligent and obedient daughter to her disciplinarian parents. She has been a topper throughout her school, because her parents wanted her to be. Now, they want her to enroll in one of the best colleges. But Tulip harbors the desire to become a singer, for music is her only passion that helps her see through life’s miseries.

Then there is Sam – witty, easy-going and flirty. Both Tulip and Sam share their love for music. Yet, both dream of a different life.

What are those dreams? What happens when they meet and enter the biggest duet competition together? Will their love blossom during this emotional roller-coaster?

Join the VoiceMates in their musical journey to know more!

About the story-
The story revolves around Sam & Tulip and their love for music. Where Tulip has all the luxuries of the life, on the other hand, Sam is toiling hard to make his earning. Tulip is an introvert, while Sam is one friendly guy. Both of them are poles apart from each other, but share one dream – Singing. And, to win the VoiceMates duet competition is their only aspiration. On this journey, how they conquer the obstacles and make it to the end is interesting to know. Also, will they be able to win the competition or not is worth reading as well.

Writing & Narration-
The plot of the book is sweet and simple. However, it lacks as far as the narration is concerned. The editing has not been done properly. There are quite a lot of mistakes. Also, the authoress needs to sharpen her narrative skills a bit more.

Title & Cover-
Since the theme of the story is singing, hence the title & the cover are totally appropriate. In fact, I liked the title more. It is catchy and interesting.

Pros-
  • ·         Easy to read
  • ·         Simple & sweet story

Cons-
  • ·         Grammatical mistakes
  • ·         Could have been better

My verdict-
There wasn’t anything unique to pinpoint. The story goes on simply. At a few places, I felt it was very fast. The authoress could have added a bit of spiciness to the plot. It is the story about the two voice mates and not the soul mates. You cannot tag it as a love story. Why? Read the book and get to know about it. 

However, the best thing about this book is the strength and the passion for achieving your goals. Tulip is a vulnerable and naïve girl, but when it comes to her dreams, she can go to any extent. And, that message – Do anything to achieve your dreams – has been well portrayed.

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...
