Title: Tinkling of the Bells
Author: Sonika Shandilya
Blurb:
We don’t meet people by accident. They are meant to cross our paths for a reason. When Jai met Sakshi, by sheer chance, he couldn’t have imagined he’d one day be visiting Europe with her for a countryside fashiontour. All he heard was the tinkling of a bell somewhere in his heart. When Sakshi met Jai the next time, she barely knew their friendship would run deeper than anything she had ever wishedfor. He is an aspiring police officer and she wants to be a leading designer in the world of fashion. Will their different paths take them to the same destination we call love, or will hurdles change the way love happens? More than that, is love really enough? Join their journey as they find out in the Tinkling of the Bell… Before it Rings.

My Views:
For me, this was just a story and not a life I was bestowed to live. There are several fragments present in the story which told me that this is just a story and you are here to hear it, not to live it. This is again a romantic fiction with nothing new to tell. These days it is hard to find a good romantic fiction. I was afraid of the same story being told again and again placing different characters.
I didn't like the conversations playing role in this story. They are not fruitful and doesn't add much to the story. Enough thought has not been put to it while constructing them. They seemed artificial and unwanted. At places, ambiance is described unnecessarily which results in stretching the story.
Just a story and no life. Couldn't feel the characters and live a new life of them.I felt like skipping the pages and give an end to the book.You will find Hindi romantics that will bore you to death as they are nothing but cliche pieces which for me were there just to fill the pages and irritate me. There's a wastage of paper here. This story could be complete in 8-10 pages.
There was a message given to all the lovers at the end. Reaching towards the end, I realized that this message could be given with an engaging story, but not this one!
Unnecessarily stretched with unwanted details.
