My Review:
This week has been pretty awesome. I have been reading Indian author’s book back to back and none has disappointed me in the last 15 days. And now I can proudly say, this book was the best from the lot. Like every other Preeti Shenoy’s book, this book will leave a long lasting impression in the reader.
The story starts in a Labor Room. Yes you heard it right. The main protagonist of the story, Vipasha called as Vee by her friends is lying on a hospital bed and is about to give birth to her first child. She is just 19. The unborn child’s father wasn’t around her. He even asked her to abort the child. Not just he, but her parents too asked her to abort and start a new life. But Vee had decided, she went against the whole world, she chose no one but her baby. She even left a well settled modeling career; her baby was the only thing she needed.
Even after having rich parents, Vee decides to raise her child by her own earned money. Apart from working as a gym instructor, she owned Paw-Factor where she takes care of Dogs, when their owners go out for a vacation. The Author’s love for dogs can be clearly observed here.
Life isn’t that easy, is it? Things were quite normal until Aryan (her 15 year old son) urged to know about his father. Even after his mother’s resistant he tried to contact his father, Ankush.
Will Aryan be able to contact Ankush?? How the story would change if someday Vee meets Ankush again. There is a lot in the story which can’t be described in this review. To know all these, you have to read the book.
As always, Preeti Shenoy has written a master piece. You just can’t afford to miss. I tried finding out some faults in the story, so that I can criticize it in my review, but Preeti Ma’am disappointed me. *winks*.
My Ratings: 5/5
(You just can't afford to miss this book.. READ IT NOW !! )
