“Being romantic doesn’t mean you have to be hopelessly in love, it means finding happiness in mundane things and keeping your heart alive with passions”

The story flashes back to the days when she met Ayaan when she started using a certain Social Networking App, just because her friends forced her into using one.

And what about the faith that she has on the love and all the notions of love just as they show in romantic movies,will that ever be restored in her life when the truth unveils?

Review:

 The Author describes certain situations relating to Romance Flicks (Bollywood/Hollywood) and I am sure every one of us does that. Haven’t you ever had a thought that a particular sequence in our life would turn out just as in the movie? The book is a refreshing read if you love romance novels and romantic movies. The writing is simple and the book is a good read on gloomy day, it certainly will make you happy.

Rating: 3.5*/5*
