Book Review- To You, With Love

There is no friend as loyal as a book.

That’s right. A book is such a satisfying yet sometimes annoyingly long thing. I tend to get

annoyed in a very funny way because when I just want to finish the book and get to know the plot twist, my mind thinks of different things, what could happen, is this character responsible for this, etc. I don’t think I can ever get bored of the feeling of a book or its smell. A book holds some kind of magic, a magic that attracts you and you just want to stick to it and keep on reading till the time you are finally content with the ending and, importantly, the author.

I recently ascertained about a book by Shravya Bhinder and honestly, nothing could be done to ameliorate it. 'To You, With Love' is a story about two lovers (who formerly knew each other as students in the same school) who fall in love when in their mid 20's. This book will take you on a rollercoaster of emotions and experiences which everybody faces in their daily lives. The girl, Ayra, was adopted after her father married someone else and believed that simplicity is the key to brilliance and always dressed simply. Sahil, a boy who wasn't interested in filmy things like romance, or the smell of rain, had parents who were very "filmy".

There are so many turns in every 20 pages, turns which the reader might not be expecting. This book will definitely engage a person because of the writing style that Shravya Bhinder has used, expressing emotions and episodes with ease and realism.
