Well! The cover of the book is really beautiful and pleasing. Before starting with the book, I was just admiring the cover and the print.

Being thorough with the blurb and the title, it’s not arduous in guessing what would be the story be like. But like every bookworm, I wanted to read how things will move between them against all the odds. And I’m not disappointed as the author has narrated the story with utmost honesty.

The book is about the two couples who goes through the test of long distance relationship. The story begins with Ira leaving for New York for her further studies and her husband Rohan though troubled from inside show up as completely normal. The book recounts the worries, sentiments, troubles and complications faced by them in a practical manner when Ira is studying in New York and Rohan is working in India.

I was hooked to know the outcome of their troubled long distance marriage and the reasoning if they decide to stick.

What was Good

The book is connecting and a light read which can be finished in a sooner time. I loved how the author has portrayed the character of Ravi as a genuine and naturalistic husband.

What wasn’t Good

But I was missing to know Ira as a person. Till the very end, the book was missing out the description of “who is Ira?”. I was carving to know her part of the story.

Why to read this book

You must read this book to know about the difficulties faced by the couples in a long distance relationship as the book is a befitting example. Such stories are rarely written.
