How will the story end for these three people? To know read 'One and a Half Love Story'

My Thoughts:

                The plot is nicely developed and I liked how the author started the story with the current time where the misunderstanding develops between Nimisha and Viraj and takes the readers to a flashback where we get to know how the story actually begins for our characters. I also liked how the author has played with the different timelines taking the readers back and forth between and making the readers curious to know what is going to happen next.

                The characters are well developed. The readers will surely feel connected to the characters. I especially liked the character of Viraj who is a thorough gentleman and even after going through all this he is trying his best to overcome all the difficulties and clear the misunderstandings.

                Language is simple and lucid. The narration is done beautifully and we can actually get a feel as if the story is happening right in front of us.

                The cover page is simple and beautiful. The title of the book is also apt to the plot.

                Overall, I really enjoyed reading this book and would surely recommend it to all.

Rating: 4/5
