Book Review - Too Good To Be True

-

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, feel-good read that still manages to leave an emotional mark.

Rating: 4.7/5 ⭐
A charming and heartfelt debut that feels both real and relatable


Happy Reading!

Book Review - The Secret

I first got to know about this book at a seminar I attended in my community. I learnt that this book is about the Law of Attraction. But I never felt the urge to read it since. Then, when I got more familiar with terms like "manifesting," "law of attraction," "affirmations," "positivity," "gratitude," etc., I got this book for my next read.  "To use the law of attraction to your advantage, make it a habitual way of being, not just a one-time thing." The book is a motivational, self-help book. It gives readers hope that they have control over their lives through their thoughts and feelings. However, some critics say that the book oversimplifies life’s challenges and makes it seem like positive thinking alone can solve everything, which may not always be realistic. "The more you use the power within you, the more power you will draw through you." This book is all about the Law of Attraction. It tells you to think posit...

Colleen Hoover book series review

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...
