Book- Write Me A Love Story
Author- Ravinder Singh
“Missing someone isn’t loving them. There is a lot more to love than just missing someone.”
This book is story of Abhimanyu and Asmita. Abhimanyu is a best-selling commercial fiction author who is egoistic, drunk on success and nothing matters more to him than his book, while Asmita is a literary fiction editor at PaperInk and looks down upon commercial fiction. PaperInk wants to get Abhimanyu on board but even before the meeting happens, he and Asmita get into a hot argument just before the meeting, unaware of the fact who the other was. Abhimanyu makes things turn in a way that for PaperInk to have him on board, Asmita would have to be his editor. But fate has its own plan for them which they understand later.
This book is a mix of romance and erotica. The storyline is engaging, irresistible and well- written. My favorite thing about the book is that it is a character driven story and not plot driven. The characters are well developed and stand out individually. Not just Asmita or Abhimanyu the author has made sure that every character is properly developed. With each and every word I read, I was able to visualize and feel its impact and had a face for every character. The lucid language of the book made it more relatable and easy flowing for me. Each and every detail mentioned is well thought.
If you intend to read this make sure to keep in mind that it’s not just a romance but includes erotica too. I have observed that people look down on Indian commercial fiction which Ravinder sir has adequately hinted at in the story. One should never make same opinion about all authors just because they write a particular genre, you never know you might enjoy reading some of them while you disliked the other as every author and their writing style is different. Ravinder sir has also hinted at topic of plagiarism and politics that happen in the publishing industry through the character of Rizwan, an author who writes the same genre as Abhimanyu but uses money and power to increase the sales of his books and tries to play mental politics too.
The book is not just the story of Abhimanyu and Asmita but also of the people with different ideologies where one wants to have the same partner for the rest of the life and the other doesn’t believe in committed relationship. Asmita undoubtedly is my favorite. I liked how she doesn’t let her love for Abhimanyu blind her again and giving her self-respect the much needed importance she tales the final decision.
If you want an engaging, easy flowing, light read where the author woes you with his words then this is the book for you.
