Title: Lost in Love
Author: Arvind Parashar
Blurb: Neil had many questions related to his life. Having suffered a total eclipse of the heart, dumped by Arya, he had nowhere to go. He was completely shattered. Till one fine day, when his friend Gauri, who had a crush on Neil ever since her childhood, comes into his life and they begin their journey of love, romance, fantasy and fairy tales. Not for long, as their world comes crashing with a tragic, life-turning event. This is a heart-wrenching romance thriller that is bound to move you and hit your soul as you take a plunge and get Lost in Love............
My Views:
Love is a strange phenomenon. Especially, when it is new to teenagers. First love, always brings a lot to serve. Be it, love or pain. It can make people do such things they can never think of even in dreams. Love can make people wild and at the same time crazy. 'Lost in Love'; is the story of Neil, Arya, Iti, Tom and Gauri, and the chemistry they share, and what brings out of their chemistry.
The language and the words used to convey the story is in the best simplest form. What could act like a cherry on the top of the cake would be some verses, for newbies. You will find the verses after every few pages, and if you are also new to poetic verses, then the verses present in the book can help you a lot to start with. There's more to the novel, which I liked best in stories. Books that come with a message are my favourites. Arvind also sends a message with this story, a message that could help you in your difficult times.
I found conversations a bit cliché. They could be made more engaging and fresh. For a reader who reads a lot, some aspects like some facets of the book and conversations will prove to be a bit dull. Contrary to the newbies all these would be like an easy step towards the reading world. They will found it more convincing and an easy recipe to turn on their imagination mode. At the beginning itself, I felt like this was not my kind of my story. I couldn't find myself in the protagonist's place. But slowly and steadily, as I moved forward, I realized it is more of a teenage story. And then, I changed my way of reading it. I kept myself in a teenager's shoes, and then I started to relate to the story.
The story reminded of those days when I was new to the literary world. I loved to explore such stories, and often I see newbies these days are much into such teenage romantic stories, as they could relate more to such stories. So, I would like to recommend this to all the newbies, especially teenage ones.

When life gives you pain, less of it or lots of it,
it gives you strength to face it too.
