Book Blurb:

Can true love bring someone back from the dead?

Akshara is left devastated by her mother’s death and spends most of her time in solitude at the local park. One day, as she is sobbing uncontrollably, a young man named Harry approaches her. They become friends and Harry recounts to her a story about the miraculous reunion of a young woman and her dead boyfriend to help ease some of her pain. The story makes Akshara hopeful that she can perhaps see her dead mother again. 

But she soon realizes that Harry isn’t what he seems to be. Even the characters in his story seem dubious, almost unreal. So what is he hiding? And why? Is there any truth to his story at all?

In this darkly suspenseful romance mystery, Akshara is left facing a truth that will make her doubt not just Harry but herself as well . . 

My Review:

Being an ardent lover of Love genre books I feel great pleasure reading love stories. Though I have read more than fifty love genre novels, I still get attracted to the word, ‘Love’. Every book has its own taste. This book, ‘The Girl Who Knew Too Much’ is not just any love story but it also has a lot of suspense, twists and turns. This story speaks of Love, Loss, Grief, Guilt, Emotions. 

If you have read the Book Blurb you might be having a good idea about the story. When Harry found a thirteen year old girl, Akshara mourning over her mother’s death, he thought of narrating his story to Akshara. It is then, Sahiba and Siddharth takes over the story; A Triangular Love Story. 

Harry loves Sahiba. Sahiba loves Siddharth. But God has something else to offer. Siddharth dies. Oh well, I can’t narrate the entire story here, it would be unfair to the author. To get your answers you need to read the book. To be honest, you won’t regret spending your bucks on this book. 

There is a lot of drama in the story and kudos to the Author for narrating everything slowly and keeping the readers gripped to the story. First few pages might make you a little bit bore but pages later you will be hooked to the book.  

Likings: Suspense till the end, Page turner, Narration style, Emotions, Easy but Intense read.

Disliking: Not many, I pretty much loved the book.

My Ratings: 4.5/5

( I don't find any reason why this book shouldn't be picked)

Book Blurb:

What happens when you fall in love at first sight? That too in college, which is supposed to be the best time of one's life. But is it the best place to find love too?

Viraj falls head over heels in love with his classmate Nimisha, who could make boys on campus go crazy. While his friends Punit and Sahil just want to have fun - despite poor mark-sheets, grace marks to pass, and other everyday adventures - Viraj wants more from his life and love.

Life has led Viraj to the edge of a cliff. He has a choice to make – to forget everything and jump, or fight.

What brought him here? An unrequited love, encounters with law, or the dilemma of grace marks? Where does Viraj's story eventually end?

Welcome to 37 + Grace Marks, Viraj's journey to discover that there is more to life than marks.

My Review:

Well being an Engineering student, who knows better than me what an engineer deals with in his/her college life. To be honest, this book reminisced me about my college days. The grace marks is a big thing for every engineering student, until and unless you are an intelligent studious guy. Well coming to the book, like every teenage love Novels, this book has a nice cute love story to tell. I had read such stories before. 

Having said that, this book is a lot different from other books. The girl protagonist of the story doesn't accept Viraj's proposal at the very first time. Not even the second time. So it was a kind of one sided love story. What makes this book interesting is its narration style. With a very simple and easy language the Author never fails to bore the readers. So if you are someone who is looking for a light easy read, then this book is for you.

The emotions of Viraj feels quite natural. Nowhere the Author has tried to write something out of the box. Keeping it quite real, the book leaves an everlasting image among the readers. 

My Ratings: 3.5/5

(Good one for those who like reading Teenage love stories)
