What does destiny have in store for Sara and Karthik? Will they accept their feelings for each other? To know read 'In Search of Spring'.

My Thoughts:

                The plot is interesting and I must say that this is not our regular love story. There are times when the readers will be emotional and there will be times when a scenario will leave a smile. I loved how the story just doesn't revolve around romance but also how sometimes we just go with the flow that others are doing and give up on our dreams.

                The characters are well-developed. I loved Sara's character a lot who even after going through so many difficulties doesn't give up in any way. I liked how she makes so many tough decisions and never looks back and tries to survives through everything accepting every challenge that comes her way.         Language is simple and lucid and the narration of the story is done excellently. The readers will be engaged throughout the story and feel as if it is actually happening in front of them. The book cover is beautiful and 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
