Story-in-Short:

It has been twenty years in the industry and now having seen his rise, fall and re-rise, he plans to retire. Some chemistry he had with girls. His circle mostly had female tangents. It was indeed a psychological pleasure for him. Not everybody is good at this unique feature. He pampered and charmed all those women with whom he has never in a relationship with, till one day he realized that his life has 3 girlfriends already. His wife, his daughter, and his that female friend-the S.HE., who taught him to humble and dedicated to his family. Finally, he got committed to all 3 of them.”

“Anyhow, 80% of the people can’t understand 90% of what I say. Who am I? What am I?”
“I just have one love. I am Eklavya.”

In my view:

There are books which successfully build up suspense, right from the beginning and beguile readers completely. Until now, you must have read self-help books on management and related studies by this author. But this time, he has shifted towards writing fiction.

‘She is my…’, is an amazing work of fiction with utmost suspense in the beginning. The story begins with the protagonist desperate to meet the editor of an English daily. But, who is the protagonist? Well, the story is developed in a manner which doesn’t let the protagonist's identity exposed in the initial phase of the book. The story goes on and on, with the conversation between the protagonist and the editor, wherein the protagonist seeks help for a perplexing, yet fascinating thing.

As one reads the story, it feels the protagonist is a psychologically ill person, suffering from split personality disorder. At least, this is what is evident from the conversation, however, twists and turns in the story establish and make the scenes explicit. And this, by and large, is an exciting specialty of the book. The relation of Krishna and Eklavya is special and worth reading is the help and role the former plays in the latter’s life.

Also, worth knowing is the ‘SHE’ condition that is being talked about in this book, which is kept clandestine for a longer time, before revealing.

The cover page of the book is not so interesting. But, a book should never be judged by its cover, and a book like this, certainly not. The narrative is extremely intriguing, as is the narration. The characters have been built properly. The story proceeds comprehensibly, at a comfortable pace.

I have read and reviewed books written by Mohit Jain, and have always been fond of his writing style. However, those were self-help and this is a fiction novel, and I was curious to know how he must have authored it. And after reading this book, I didn’t feel as if he has written fiction for the first time. That aura, gentle and rejuvenating effect is just captivating.

Yes, there are a few grammatical errors in the book, which could have been avoided. But, nothing much to worry, as these few errors don’t really irk one in the process of reading it.

I am recommending this book to all those who are looking forward to read something interesting, and importantly, unique.

I am rating this book with 4.25/5. Congrats to the author and I am looking forward to read more from him!
