Book Review : I Don't wear SUNSCREEN by Kavipriya Moorthy




Spoiler alert!
A nice read: A psychological play coming into picture. Some suspense leaves you wanting to know what next. The friendship between Laksha and Pallavi is depicted nicely. The middle class family home and the values, how education is held at high pedestal, the crunch they would feel to use air travelling too frequently.  The strong mother and a caring father, everything fell into place.
Few ambiguities left me wondering. We have Pallavi explaining how she was thankful for Laksha’s interference when it came to her friendship with Prabhu in the starting few chapters. I expected her 'point of view account' of the story throughout. And one or two times I felt I missed few pages where I had not. I expected Saurav to be more sympathetic to her even while  giving the pink slip. But human minds are unpredictable but it was me being a little 'empathetical'. Rounder character(except for Laksha, as Laksha's character could not be better described )  would have added more depth to the book.

The final part could have been taken positively where Laksha meets Prabhu but I don’t know if it’s just me but an odd chill slid down my spine, another setback and would she be able to handle it?

Book Review: Destined by Rubina Ramesh

Image
Why should a woman be made to choose? Why can’t she choose both, duty and Love? When the burden of pain and the fear of losing your love is bearing upon you, just the presence of someone next to you is too valuable. Esha’s struggle to be strong as she stood by her father in his battle with cancer, and the Deja vu she experiences is heart wrenching. And trust me, I was so engrossed in her pain that I was shocked at my desire to hit Ayush. Out of the blue came a marriage proposal, a contractual marriage for six months, meant to benefit her father’s treatment and to remove the complications in Rohan’s life. What they both didn’t see coming (to the delight of my two doppelgangers—the one in white with a halo on top of her head and the one in black with red horns) was the intense attraction between them. The brewing friendship, companionship, intimacy, and finally love was perfect. Not even a second of dullness. The book holds you to Esha and Rohan’s romance till the end.

Book Review - Her Secret Husband by Sundari Venkatraman **********THE BEACON… RED LIGHTS… ALARMS …  BIG BIG BIG Spoiler ALERT…. “What if I need you desperately?” “Do you love me or just lust after my body?” “Can’t I do both?" Phew….. I am already feeling hot. And I have just read page 24 which is just the excerpt before the novel begins in the book. (exasperated…) So what am I doing writing? Good question. Cause unlike normal book reviews (psssst I doubt my reviews usually are normal .. my eyes  rolling up lips turning at one side) here I thought, (wicked glint in my eyes) a running commentary for a change ;-) And guess it’s a surprise for all romance lovers especially Sundari Venkatraman’s avid readers. The book has been released just about an hour ago, I couldn’t help myself and I grabbed the kindle copy from amazon.
