Description:
The only thing you cannot plan in life is when
and who to fall in love with . . .
Raghu likes to show that there is nothing
remarkable about his life—loving, middle-class parents, an elder brother he
looks up to and plans to study in an IIT. And that’s how he wants things to
seem—normal.
Deep down, however, the guilt of letting his
closest friend drown in the school’s swimming pool gnaws at him. And even as he
punishes himself by hiding from the world and shying away from love and
friendship, he feels drawn to the fascinating Brahmi—a girl quite like him, yet
so different. No matter how hard Raghu tries, he begins to care . . . Then life
throws him into the deep end and he has to face his worst fears.
Will love be strong enough to pull him
out?
The Boy Who Loved, first of a two-part romance,
is warm and dark, edgy and quirky, wonderfully realistic and dangerously
unreal.of courage, hope and self-discovery.
Review:
I’m just done with the
book and I’m filled with a lot of emotions. Let me just start with what I felt
was most influential, the pain yes the pain that stayed with all the characters
in the book. And I don't say it's a pain that has a negative impact. Pain in
this book is something meant to be desirable. The pain that makes the
characters work on what they seek and something that is worth embracing with a
smile. Every time I read Raghu (the lead) make his attempts to make everyone
happy, his parents, his brother, everyone, and it just fills me with some kind
of energy which is mesmerizing. And the turns in the story which appear in the
last few chapters of the book are the least expected ones! I was unable to
predict things which happened in the last few chapters. Just when I was
thinking how this book would have a sequel, I was surprised with the sudden
turn of events. All credits to Durjoy Sir who has made me stay awake long hours
in the night just to know what's in the next page.
You simply cannot stop reading it once you make
a start. I definitely suggest this book to all those who feel they haven't read
a perfect book in 2017.
I would give 8.5 out of 10.
