Story-in-Short:

“Hurry up or be left out!” 

Haven’t we all heard this at least thousand times in our lives?

(Okay you have heard more.)

The point is we are all in a hurry to make something. Be it careers, relationsships, excuses, success, cover-ups, babies, lives. 

Om and Hari. 

Their dreams may be at the far ends of a rope, their journeys may be markedly different from each other’s but their desire is common-to-make it on their own! 

What makes this even more tedious is their race against time in doing so. They are the dreamers, the strugglers, the under dogs, the go getters, the nerve wreckets, the charmer’s and… they are You! 

In my view:

Sometimes, we can simply overcome the difference between us and someone else, and help each other in a lot many ways. How much ever the variances may be, the role we play in the other person’s life often helps us to get along pretty well and a new chapter in life thus emerges. 

Parul Tyagi’s fascinating story revolves around Om and Harini, two distinctly different individuals, forced to meet and see each other by their respective families, with the sole intention of getting married. What makes the two stand apart is the evidently wide difference between their characters and journey. However, their aspirations are more or less the same. So, can desires dissolve the difference and draw them closer? Can these desires give rise to a new equation? 

Well, this is what you’ve got to find out from the book. The story is totally fresh and something you would want to immerse in. And once you start reading it, the story pulls your attention in such a way that you won’t feel like halting in the course of reading. For me, I could finish it in just two settings! 

The cover of the book is interesting. But what is even charming and intriguing is the title. The story moves comprehensibly, but at a quick pace – which the readers are going to enjoy for sure. The narrative is  fascinating, and so is the narration -- it becomes a bit dull in the central part though. Apart from the protagonists, there are other characters too, which nowhere collide or create confusion.

The best part about this book is the feeling of watching a movie that one experiences in the course of reading! I am recommending it to all those who are looking forward to read something really fresh and unique! 

Considering everything, I am rating the book with 4/5. Congratulations and best wishes to the author for her debut novel!
