Losing Hope (Hopeless, #2) : Book Review

Losing Hope (Hopeless, #2) By C olleen Hoover ‘Losing hope’ is a continuation of Hopeless Series. Where ‘Hopeless’ is written from the point of view of Sky, Losing Hope is written from the point of view of Dean Holder. This series as mentioned in my review of ‘Hopeless’ is much more than a love story. Here’s the link to the review of Hopeless: https://bookreviewsbyricha.blogspot.com/2018/06/hopeless-book-review.html ‘Losing Hope’ lay opens the emotional turmoil your loved ones go through when you commit suicide. It’s not only you who dies but the part within your loved ones die along with you. Your loved ones blame themselves, consider themselves as a failure as they couldn’t recognize what you were going through. Your parents, your siblings, your close friends never remain the same as they were. Something break within them which can’t be mended, which can’t be healed. They remain in the denial state for whatever happened. But after reading ‘Losing Hope’, I changed m...

I Am M-M-Mumbai : Book Review

Image
I Am M-M-Mumbai by Rishi Vohra Rishi contacted me to give a read to his book, initially I was skeptical but after reading the synopsis I decided to give it a read and I must say I didn’t regret my decision even once while reading. It’s a simple story and a quick read having a freshness in the writing style. You won’t keep the book down before completing it, it’s like watching a romcom which you can’t just turn-off in between. Overall, it gave me a feel-good factor after reading. One thing which I liked about the book is it reminded us that Stammering is not to be made fun of. Rather it's a verbal disability like any other physical or mental disability. Stammering needs proper medical treatment like any other medical ailment. And the line which struck me the most: “When life brings you rock bottom, the only direction to move in is up.” Storyline: There is nothing explicit about the story. A simple plot is written in an entertaining style which would hold your inte...

Two by Two: Book Review

Image
Two by Two By Nicholas Sparks Whenever I don’t want to read a book but want to listen to a story like my father used to tell me in my childhood, then, I pick a book written by none other than, my all-time favorite author Nicholas Sparks. Reading his book is like taking a break from reading; For all that while, I forget that I am reading a book rather it gives me a feel as if someone is telling me a story. Until today, I have read 9-10 of his books and haven’t disliked any so far. But before ‘Two by Two’, all his previous books which I have read were based on the romance genre However, ‘Two by Two’ is a lot more than a love story and thus, will be wrong to categorize it under the romance genre. This story inspires you to keep going on what may happen. It gives the reality check that you are left with no option but to move on with life, even when you least want it, even when you just want to sulk or crib or cry, even when you just want to shut yourself in a room, lif...
