About The Author:

Pavithra Ramesh is a graduate from Mount Carmel College, Bengaluru, looking ahead to pursue her MBA in International Business and Finance. She has been an excellent academic performer emerging as the second topper in school (Commerce Stream) in her CBSE Board exam. Commitment and perseverance is her basic mantra. While based in Dubai, she has written many articles for a Sharjah daily newspaper. She has been the PR Event head of the Commerce Core Team in College and an active participant in cultural programmes in the field of dance. She has also participated in National Level Business Fests. She was a member of the entrepreneurship cell in college and was involved in the editorial team of Bengaluru e-cell. Writing is her passion. She now ventures with her first book ‘No Time to Pause’.  She believes that desire is the best driving force to success and trusts her instincts to find her goals and aspirations.

Book Blurb:

Life of a young adult is filled with joy and mystery. 'No Time to Pause' is a narration of a typical college student who decides to stay miles away from her family to get value education. She faces a host of challenges, encounters varied adventures and meets people who leave a tremendous impact on her life. With the college term ending, she leaves the institution not only as an academic achiever, but also a strong woman ready to face the rough world out there. She realises that life keeps moving on and there is no time to look back or regret.

My Review:

Well the book blurb tells a lot about the story. This book speaks of life experiences of a young girl, especially about her college life.

Pari, protagonist of the story is a college student who joins a private college in Bangalore, far away from her home, Dubai. She then joins a PG, meets with other girls and forms a formidable bond. It is then she meets Aditi. Aditi has a story to tell and her story is something that would make the reader turn the pages of the book. 
So who is Aditi? What does she has to do with story? Well to know everything, you have to read the book. It would be unfair to the author if I describe the entire story here.

To be honest, I was confused who the main protagonist of the story was. Though the story mainly revolves around Pari, Aditi too has an important part to play. If you guys are looking for a light read then you would love reading this book. But lack of strong, intense contents would be a 'No-No' among the novel freaks. 
Well, if you someone who is new into the world of books then you would love to read this book and dive into the world of energetic and enthusiastic bunch of girls.

The story is slightly fast paced. Many a times I felt as if the characters are in a hurry to complete their part.

Likings: Easy Read, Chick Lit, Page Turner, Could easily be finished in a couple of hours.
Disliking: The characters are in a hurry to finish the story, Lack of editing, One time read.


My Rating: 3/5
(Chick Lit lovers would love it, intense reader might get upset)
