Me: It may sound personal but does the book is a pure work of fiction or it has something to do with real characters??
Raj Singh: No, it’s not a pure fiction. Breakup Before Love is inspired from real life characters I met during my college days but most of the characters mentioned in the book and incidents are fictional. But I have tried my best to give this book a proper shape and make it a realistic story that anybody can relate to his/her life
Me: Is there any specific book or incident that inspired you to write Breakup Before Love??
Raj Singh: Love and breakup have become very common and familiar words nowadays. We all know about breakup after love but there are some incidents of breakup which occurs before love as well but who cares? Please just ignore it but it inspired me to write my book “Breakup Before Love”.
Me: How does it really feel to be an author ?? Please do tell us a little about -pre and post author life.
Raj Singh: Being a writer itself is the best thing that every writer experiences. You would never regret for this and will feel very elated while showcasing your talent to the rest of the world. As far as about my life is concerned, I’m still what I was before my book getting published. I don’t see any changes in my life and don’t want people to change their approach towards me as well.
Me: Sorry for asking this but have you ever been rejected for your work (book) before ??
Raj Singh: Yes, my manuscript has also been rejected by many publishers.We all know that getting a book published is not an easy task and the real fight for a writer begins after finishing the manuscript. One has to put all his efforts to find a good and reputed publisher and during this period patience is the only key to get succeeded.
Me: Tell us something that we don't know about 'Raj Singh'.
Raj Singh: Haha…People know about me more than I know about myself and I don’t think there is anything else that I need to tell about.
Me: Can we expect another book from your pen in near future??
Raj Singh: Of course! I have already started working on my next book which is based on social issues, however, right now my full focus is on my latest book Breakup Before Love.
Me: Before ending this, I would request you to give some advice to the aspiring writers who want to be an author.
Raj Singh: To be very honest, I’m not a well-known writer who can give any suggestion or advice to other but I would like to share what I have learnt in my writing career. Never ever give up. Sometimes many obstacles would come in your way but you have to have belief in yourself then only you can reach your destiny. If you ever get frustrated, take a sabbatical, visit some places and then, again, sit with a pen and papers.
It was really great to have Raj Singh on my blog... I would really like to thank him for giving me the privilege to Interview him.
My Review:
I will start the review by thanking the author, Raj Singh for providing me a free copy of the book in exchange of an honest review. Trust me, I never do biasing while writing up my reviews. If I didn't like something, I confront it. Just because the Author has provided me a free copy, I can't do all praising for the book.
There is no need to describe the story. The book has a simple story that can be easily guessed from the Book Blurb. Anoop meets Ritu and falls for her. Ritu too loves Anoop but only as a friend. Just when Anoop gets sure about his feelings, Ritu falls for another guy. Anoop hearts break. Quite simple, right???
Oh! let me tell you, life isn't that simple, is it? The guy Ritu loves began torturing her. And months later they finally get separated. Even after knowing Ritu had a past relationship, Anoop proposes her. Now will Ritu accept Anoop's proposal and live happily ever after? or is there any twist in the tale? I don't want to act as a spoiler here. Read the book to know what happens next.
Likings: Easy read, Fast-paced, Never makes you bore, You can't get a better ending.
Disliking: None with the book but I had a question to the Author, Why Anoop always got late? Huh...he should have proposed earlier. (that was a PJ)
My Ratings: 4/5
(Must pick if you are looking for a light read after that heavy Thriller book)
Wana Grab a Copy???
Thanks a lot for review and interview Bro :)
