What if one day the person you’ve always dreamed of walks into your life, and it feels too perfect to be true?  That’s the heart of  Too Good To Be True  by Prajakta Koli — a story that blends love, healing, and the unexpectedness of destiny. The book begins with Avani, a young, bubbly girl living alone in Mumbai. Her friends and her beloved Aaji are the closest thing she has to family. One day at a bookstore, she meets Aman — the perfect stranger — and their connection feels instant and surreal. As their story unfolds, the narrative takes you through the warmth and complexities of new love, while subtly weaving in deeper themes of grief, self-worth, and emotional growth. If you’re familiar with Prajakta’s content, the writing will feel effortlessly her — honest, humorous, and grounded. It’s not overly dramatic, which is refreshing. Instead, it stays real and heartfelt. I picked up the book out of curiosity, and I’m glad I did. As a debut novel, it’s impressive — a cozy, ...

Hello!! Today I am going to share about a book, which was unexpected! I got the book because of the title and the cover page, not knowing anything about this book. It is ... The Palace of Illusions by  Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni The Palace of Illusions is a refreshing retelling of the Mahabharata, but what makes it truly special is that it’s told from the perspective of Draupadi, a character who never really had a voice in the original epic. Through her eyes, the story feels more personal, emotional, and even rebellious at times. The book takes you through her journey—from her mysterious birth out of fire to her life as the queen of the Pandavas—all while exploring her thoughts, desires, and struggles in a male-dominated world. What I loved most is how relatable Draupadi feels. She’s strong, curious, outspoken, and flawed—which makes her real. Her secret longing for Karna, her complicated relationships with her five husbands, and her bond with Krishna add layers to her character. ...

Hello Readers!  This time, I’m sharing not one, but two book reviews.  I recently finished Colleen Hoover's emotional rollercoaster series, It Ends with Us and It Starts with Us, and I couldn’t wait to discuss both together. These books delve into the complexities of love, trauma, and healing, and I'm excited to share my thoughts with you all. It Ends with Us is an emotional book, whereas It Starts with Us is a comforting, dramatic book. Lily Bloom, Ryle Kincaid, and Atlas Corrigan are the main characters in both these books.  Lily Bloom is a courageous and strong woman who has faced trauma and is trying to carve out a new life for herself. Ryle Kincaid, with his charm and arrogance, is the kind of man Lily initially thinks she can love, but his toxic tendencies soon become clear. Then there’s Atlas Corrigan, a mature and kind-hearted man who represents Lily’s first love and a chance for something healthier and more supportive. It ends with us, starting with Lily's life i...
