I Too Had a Love Story

'Do love stories ever die?' reads the blurb and I am intrigued to know what this book is about. So, I quickly order for it on flipkart.com and wait for it to be delivered. The morning it is delivered, I am so excited to read it that I forget about everything else and sit to read this debutant novel by Ravinder Singh.

There is something about his writing that does not allow one to put the book away. He writes in a simple yet lovely manner about the true story of his love Khushi who he lost in an accident in 2007. Before beginning the book, one knows that he is not going to have her forever and yet, there is something that makes one want to read the book till the last page.

Most of his book is dedicated to how he met Khushi on shaadi.com and their love story but this only allows the reader to be more acquainted and connected to their story. At first, I thought the story was a little silly by the way he had written it but as I read more and more, I felt like I was a part of the story as well. With not any excess details, he simply described the scenario he was in and left the rest to his reader's imagination.

Ravinder's writing makes you feel every emotion that he felt throughout the book and makes one realize the true feeling of being in love. At times the writing got a little mushy gushy but it only added to the essence of the book. As one reads, one realizes the terrible pain he has felt on losing someone he loved and his book may not have a happy ending but is yet a beautiful story in itself.
