A Rewarding Read (Book Review)


Book: The Anatomy Of Choice
Author: Harshali Singh
Publication: Readomania

The Anatomy Of Choice authored by Harshali Singh and published by Readomania is a rewarding read. One of the rare pieces when I begin my review with my verdict. It’s been ages since I have read something as captivating as this.

The plot revolves around Bhavya (Bee) and her perturbation and huff. It is about the choices she makes and how difficult she finds it difficult to accept the resultant consequences. In the process, she ends up ruffling her family members, her live-in partner and her ownself. The story also touches upon the goods and evils that resides parallelly within us; it reflects how sometimes we win over our demons while other times the evil gets better of us.





Not everyone would be able to relate with the protagonist, (I didn’t) but the smooth narration makes it easier to understand why is she doing what she is.

The book narrates not one but two stories one that of Bee and the other of Noorie – a courtesan of 16th century. Noorie’s journal talks about her longing for love and the sacrifices she made to be with her love. It helps Bee understand another perspective and thereby realize what path she should take.
The Anatomy Of Choice is one of the best writings I have come across in a long time. Read this book to know how simple as well as sensitive matters can be narrated fluidly. Also, special mention to the titles of every chapter, which is well researched; it gives you a sneak-peak of what you can expect in the chapter ahead.

This is second of the Haveli series and I have already bought the first book and look forward to reading soon.

My ratings: 4.5 out of 5.

I received a review copy of the book from Writers Melon in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

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...
