Blurb -

It connects to the kind of boys who are in love and keep trying to convince the same girl in different ways for a believe in love but also, don't want to take advantage of a boy's feelings. The girls who are not conservative but don't want to pursue love.

Abhimanyu, a well known author returns to his engineering college in bangalore after a decade and notices a lot of changes in the college over this period. It reminds him of how he met his ladylove, Naina on the first day of college and fell in love with her at the first sight. Abhimanyu, being an impulsive, stubborn and impatient guy decides to propose her in a rush. She doesn't believe in love and has her own reasons for it.

However, a trick helps to melt her heart, but destiny has a different plan.

Storyline and Plot-

The Story was simple, yet interesting. It is a college life romance which many of us have witnessed. It defines the saga of friendship, family and love. The storytelling binds you with the book. Scenes are well written, humour are good. A guy named "Abhimanyu" visits his college in bangalore after a decade. The story goes to flashback and story begins. He came across a girl named - Naina Grover. He fall for her, it was like love at first sight. Naina on the other hand does not believe in love and love marriages. Present and Past life have been balanced nicely. The author has also showered knowledge about life, as he has correctly depicted " Life is not lived based on philosophies, it is lived on facts, let us accept it". The Twists in the end gives a interesting read.
One should always know that "Being in love and assuming to be in love are two different things".

What I liked -

1) Drama, fun and other elements are added by the author which connects readers to the book.
2) Hindi punchlines and shayris are well written and they add as an advantage to the story.
3) The writing is crisp.
4) The author has showed jealousy factor- which can be a parameter to judge the other's love.
5) The plot is good. Characters are defined in depth.

What I did not liked :

1) The story goes with a slow pace.
2) The Story is predictable, which u can predict midway.

My Rating for the book = 3.5/5
Book cover is really attractive, it goes for 4/5
Plot = 3.5/5
