Quest For Love... Interesting Yet Predictable (Book Review)

Book: Finding Juliet
Author: Toffee
Publisher: Srishti Publishers

Finding Juliet by Toffee is a story about Arjun’s transformation from sweet and simple guy to the womanizer. The sole purpose of the protagonist’s existence is finding true love and it turns out that he manages to do a PH.D in how to fail in any relationship.

“Can a Geek ever find love?” is what essentially the book about. The geeky Arjun starts as a bichara innocent little boy who has been having hard luck when it comes to love and relationships.


This nice guy can’t seem to be able to decode the key to women’s complex mind and ever confused heart. His tryst with women began early, however it’s only when he gets a guru in form of a close confidante Krish, he learns how to win over women; nevertheless this quest takes him away from his original purpose of finding true love.

It is no rocket science to understand that Arjun is supposed to fell for or rather realize his love for his childhood friend Anjali and his quest will see a happy ending. It’s predictable! However, what is interesting to see is how he gets there; how does the realization of true love dawns on him.

The story also portrays several relationship elements youth today go through - attraction, lust, friendship with benefits, casual sex, no- string relations then there’s also some love-at-first sight, love, trust, honesty, bromance among others.

The author’s writing style is fluid and nowhere did the plot felt boring. The cover is interesting and tells you that you are in for a quick and fun read. Overall it is a simple read, nothing to gain or nothing to lose.

I received a copy from Writersmelon in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

My rating: 3.5 Stars

Of Romance And Suspense (Book Review)

Image Credit Book: The Royal Roommate (Kindle edition) Author: PG Van Life is unpredictable. We plan many things but not everything happens as planned. Infact, most of the times life has surprises in store for us. The key is to play along and play it well. This is what you will find the protagonist -Amy doing in this book. Accepting the twists and turns life throws at her and running along with the stride. This the first book of PG Van that I have had a chance to read, and hence I didn’t have any set expectations. Good!  The story is about Amy, a young intern with a law firm (oh that just doesn’t matter). Turns out her new roommate has been replaced by an irresistible, sexy, tall and handsome hunk - Sid (now that’s what is important, right). There begins a love and hate – push and pull kind of chemistry between the two. Needless to mention, lust and love (in that order) blooms in the room. Interestingly, Sid is a spy and Amy is his suspect. However, from suspe...
