Review:
Messed Up! But All For
Love is the story of Neil, a senior executive working with a leading brand name
and his wife Gauri who is a dentist who runs her own clinic. Living a lavish
life in the city of Gurgaon they meet Drishti, a TV news anchor and her husband
Somesh. The story is about how their lives change after these four meet each
other.
The story is just another
romantic thriller’s which doesn’t have anything extraordinary to offer. We have
come across many similar stories. However the presentation is quite different
which makes the book a bit interesting.
The story and theme seems
to be inspired by Bollywood a lot and this makes the book and the story somewhat
unrealistic. Moreover there are a lot of intimate scenes which may not go well
with some readers. It has become a trend with the latest authors to stuff such material
in the story to make it more sellable. However, I feel it devalues the quality
of the book.
The language used is
Hinglish which can not be said literary. However, it may go well with readers
who are looking for a quick and easy read. The character development has been
done well.
The author has tried very
hard to include every ingredient to increase the selling points of the book but
for me they have acted as negative aspects.
The cover of the book is
also average and the title, okayish. All in all, the book is a mix of
everything that today’s authors are trying to stuff in their books to increase
the sale and readers base. However, this goes nowhere near a good story of
language or even theme.
All in all, The book is
for light reading maybe during a metro ride. It’s neither a love story, nor a
romantic one. Just a fast pace story to keep you busy for a couple of hours.
