BOOK REVIEW- “Red is for Love, Black is
for Kohl” by Priyanka Bhardwaj”
A very interesting story, explaining
relationships, discovering some new bold aspects of friends, friendship and
true love in today’s world while achieving dreams, ones dreams...
The story is about love,
relationships, friends, friendship and championship. Indeed it is true nothing is perfect in life, neither our life nor we
ourselves. Whatever happens good or bad, it happens for a reason. Some things
leave you happy and some leave you distressed. This story is one such about
life and it is been pen down perfectly.
The
story revolves around Naina Shergil, a literature student at the University of
Delhi, who is headstrong, super-smart, ambitious, and like many others of her
age, juggling in so many college activities with her search of the perfect
love. Her life is centred on friends, family and other acquaintances. Her bland
spell of a boyfriend-less routine, is suddenly broken when she bumps into a hot
young designer who twists her world sideways. Their relationship was not
destined for sweetness and turn out to be just another cruel joke.
However,
her bold and never die attitude helps her getting along with many and getting
over her past. Her equation with many change and then life takes a drastic turn
and in comes Aarian Mehra to fill up the void left by some people in her life.
From there on, its tiff between her mind and her thoughts and actions as all of
them scuffle to overpower her completely.
Where
will life take Naina? What role Aarian will play in her life? Will she be able
to get some clarity? This is what the story is all about. It’s worth mentioning
how writer has written those tear jerking portions. They seem so real and so
emotional. I won’t say much about those chapters as I don’t want to spoil it
for the readers but I just loved the way the book ended. It was a perfect
climax for me.
The
climax was quite interesting with twists and turns to unfold the same you need
to read this book.
Now my Positive viewpoints:
The concept of the story
is really nice and absorbing. This is a good work done by the author for writing
such a striking work of fiction. The poems composed in the book are deep and
meaningful. The authenticity of the whole setup leaves a good impression while
reading the book. Even the climax of the story has been scripted well. Overall,
the book is highly recommended by me to all those who craves for romance
fictions to pass their time on any given weekend. It will make you smile, it
will make you laugh and it will make you cry. But most of all, it will brew
that romantic feeling that will make you fall in love with your loved ones all
over again.
Some suggestive points:
Overall the book is good and very well
expressed. The twist in the climax seems more of a turnout from a filmy
situation. Also, the slowness in the middle of the story at some places makes
you lose interest. A little bit of emphasis on kohl could have been cut down to
make it look more appealing.
Final words:
Overall if asked I would say...this is an excellent job done
by Author (Priyanka Bhardwaj) … I would give 4 stars to
this book.
