UNNS - The Captivation by Sapan Saxena | Book Review

 

Blurb:


"Of course you know about the seven stages of love, but have you ever lived them?" Atharva Rathod and Meher Qasim. Lovebirds since adolescence. Bonded by love, separated by circumstances. They part ways only to meet again. But this time, he is on a secret mission... Are they in control of their own destiny, or its their destiny which is making them dance to its tunes? Only time would answer, as Atharva and Meher unwillingly and unknowingly transcend the seven stages of love. A quintessential tale of love and romance marked beautifully by its own rustic old school charm.



Review:


"UNNS" by Sapan Saxena, is a book that I loved reading. Initially the story started like any other romance novel with boy-meets-girl type theme. However, as you progress through the pages, a sensible and mature love story with a lot of thrill, twists and turns start unfolding.

There are three phases in this love story. And all the seven phases of love are described beautifully in the book. The chapters name were totally brilliant and at its' best. Unns is book with a unique story that keeps you hooked till the end. It may take a while to pick up but once you start enjoying the story, you simply can not leave it midway. One needs a lot of sensibility and sensitivity to write such a story. Though at some points the story felt inspired by some Bollywood movies but overall it was a nice read.

So what is this book all about? It is Love. Yes, it’s a romantic story with lots of twists and turns starting from the college times till the adult life. The narration style and description is beautiful and the language used is simple and easy to understand. At some places I felt the author could have described and explained the story in some more details without hurrying to wrap up everything. The end of the story could have been better and seemed a little abrupt without detailed explanation.

The title of the book is very interesting and catchy. The cover is also beautiful. With subtle and minimal usage of colours and fonts, the cover has come out really well. The rose on the cover image also has its significance which you realise after reading the book.

Overall, Unns by Sapan is an interesting read and is recommended to those who love reading romantic thrillers. If I am asked to describe it in one word then I would say: “unputdownable”.

I received a free copy from Writersmelon in lieu of an honest review. 

My Rating: 4/5
