Title : Once Again With LOVE!
Author : Abhirup Dhar
“Once Again with Love’, a romantic tale is a debut novel of Abhirup Dhār. The book covers a usual story of two love birds, circumstances that distanced them and coincidence or destiny that made them again a pair. A book carved with simplicity, romance, and lessons on relationship.
As the blurb of the book goes:
“It’s a small world! Dev smiles and taps Mishika on her shoulders. One rainy afternoon; two ex-lovers meet after six years by chance at an airport. They have moved on but they sit to talk….Come…fall in love…out of it…in it again…and discover the meaning of being together with Dev, Mishika and Priyasha-three oddballs muddled by the phenomenon of love, confusion and relationships while they come of age.
‘Once Again…With Love!’ is a quirky take on love, confusion and modern-day relationships.”
I feel the lack of professional touch in the cover design of the book, it wants to reflect about the story, but it isn’t appealing and eye-catching. A fast pacing story with little description and no superfluous description, but I want it to be a bit more descriptive so that I can get indulge with the story and feel the presence of the characters. It paced so fast that at places I couldn’t find a place to delve. But for those readers, who like to go through short tales without much description and prefer light read, this could be the book you are searching for.
Talking about the storyline of the book, a very simple storyline in which author tries to add a twist in the end. I wish if the story could have some more twists and turns and if it could serve something unique, though how many love stories I’ve gone through I always seek for something different and unique and that is what I expected from this book when I started reading it.
Coming towards the writing fashion author has chosen, a very simple writing style, easy to go with, basically what novice reader would prefer. Articulation is also simple and nice, but could’ve been improved. Author chooses not to beat around the bush, very candid while narrating the story, one event overs and he directly switches over to another. In fewer words, nice characterization, conversations are fine and I could imagine the scenes to pretty good extent.
Simple,short and sweet!
