Love Bi The Way






Author: Bhaavna Arora

Published By: Penguin Random House

Pages: 248 Pages

Price: Rs. 199

ISBN: 978-01-434-2529-8






About The Author:


Bhaavna Arora is the bestselling author of the Deliberate Sinner and Mistress of Honour. Before her foray into writing, she was heading a business school as a director; she also trains students and professionals on leadership. She holds two management degrees and a Ph.D. in Leadership from Pittsford University. 



A fourth-generation army kid, Bhaavna is a true patriot. She enjoys reading, travelling, swimming, horse riding and playing sports and has a fancy for big bikes and cars.

Book Blurb:

Rihana is a painter who is trying to find inspiration in love. Zara is a businesswoman trying to make a niche for her company in a male-dominated world. Rihana is fire, Zara is ice; Rihana is openly sensual, while Zara is more cautious with her heart—they are opposites that attract. They are different people bound together by their house—‘Cupid’—and their pet golden retriever, Tiger. 

As both of them navigate their fulfilling careers and try to leave behind troubled pasts, they find solace in each other. But Tiger’s not the only male in their lives. Rihana finds herself a string of sexy men, while Zara emerges out of her shell and meets an actual prince who sweeps her off her feet. But can these relationships last? And what road will they take when love happens bi the way?

My review:

Wow! Now that is something that I have never read before. This book broke the stereotypes. Many of you might outrage against the storyline and you might sit in the dharnas too. But seriously the storyline is intriguing and at the end you will be left with a question, should this be legalized? 

The book cover is really attractive and if you are someone who buy a book looking at its cover then you might end in buying this one too. The story revolves around two female protagonists: Rihana and Zara. They have a strong bond between them, may be they are bff or maybe they are soul sisters or maybe they have a different side to the story. If I disclose everything here, why would you care buying the book? *Winks*

Before commenting on the way of writing let me tell you my likings and disliking about the story. 
Zara appears sweet and cute. Rihana appears to be hot. The start isn’t much interesting and you might need to drag yourself until the entry of Shaurya. The story gets interesting after that.  I don’t understand the logic behind Rihana falling for every other male she meets. I mean, if she had fallen in love I would have understood the thing but falling for every male only for sex is something I couldn’t digest. Be it with Dr. Saif, the Flight Attendant, Zubair or Major Shergil, all she wanted was some hardcore sex. 

The best thing about the book is its end. The author has kept the suspense till the last. Until you reach the last few pages of the book, you just can’t guess how the story will end. The end leaves a serious message to the society. The author has brilliantly written the book and editor has also done a good work to keep the book error free.

Likings: Cover Page, Friendship between Rihana and Zara, Out of box thinking by Author, The plot might not go well with many but still the Author dared to pen down. Admirable!

Disliking: Most of the pages are filled with Booze and Sex.

My Rating: 3.5/5
(Pick at your own risk. Intense reader would like this book)

Book Blurb:

‘It can’t be love . . .’ he thinks and immediately his heart protests. 
They are complete opposites!

She’s a small town girl who takes admission in Delhi University (DU). An idealist, studies are her first priority.
He’s a Delhi guy, seriously into youth politics in the DU. He fights to make his way. Student union elections are his first priority.

But then opposites attract as well!
A scandal on campus brings them together, they begin to walk the same path and somewhere along, fall in love . . .

But their fight against evil comes at a heavy price, which becomes the ultimate test of their lives. 
Against the backdrop of dominant campus politics, Your Dreams Are Mine Now is an innocent love story that is bound to evoke strong emotions in your heart.

My Review:

Well, I don't think I need to introduce the author. Ravinder Singh, the name in itself is enough to describe about his books. When I heard Ravinder Singh is out with his new book, trust me, I was eager and excited to hold my baby (the book, in this case). 
Though Ravinder Singh is one of my personal favorite I was completely unbiased while writing this review.

The story is set up in the backdrops of Delhi University. It begins with a prologue addressing the present condition of Delhi people. People in Delhi are holding candles and walking together for justice. Someone is fighting in her death bed inside AIIMS, Delhi and people outside, are fighting against the government to punish the culprits.

The main character of this story is a girl, Rupali. She is quite the introvert who would feel happy reading her subject book rather than watching movie in a theatre. She isn't any angel but she had something which made Arjun fall for her.
Arjun, a year senior to Rupali, is a leader, not like the corrupted ones but the one who have the quality to bring in the change in a system. 

One day when Rupali was in the corridor looking for Prof. Mahajan as she had some doubts regarding the subject, she saw him forcing himself with a woman worker. Unable to decide what, she recorded it in her mobile. Rupali was introvert but she was strong. She thought of giving Mahajan a good taste of his own medicine. Once decided, she with Arjun finally made Mahajan pay for his wrong deeds...
But how ?? Does the story ends here ?? Why Arjun helped Rupali ?? Will their love last ?? 
Well if you are thinking of this then you have to read the book.. Can't disclose everything here, it would be unfair to the Author.

This book has it all. Not only it does have a love story, it also has a deep truth about our nation out of which we are trying to run. It gives you an idea how politics is done by our beloved politicians. I am not sure whether you will cry reading this book but I bet, surely you would say, 'shit! this shouldn't have happened.

Likings: Everything.. I liked everything about this book.. Ravinder Singh is best when it comes to love and romance

Dislikes: Nothing in particular.. 


My Ratings: 5/5
(Typical Ravinder Singh's book. If you love him, you can't afford to miss this book.)
