Review of My Mute Girlfriend

Title: My Mute Girlfriend

Author: Himanshu Rai




Blurb:“That day I realized I had lost her forever. I had lost her smile, her friendship, her voice… But still, somewhere in my heart, I believed her to be my girlfriend. My mute girlfriend.” Rohan is a telecom professional posted in Meerut and misses his girlfriend from college days, who had stopped interacting with him, without giving any reason. Although she had always stood by his side and her eyes reflected immense love, but she remained his mute girlfriend. The book opens with an SMS from Vaidehi to Rohan, after five long years. But before he could reply, his mobile gets damaged and he wanders in his memories to narrate a story. About how his girlfriend became his mute girlfriend after the first year of their engineering college. My Mute Girlfriend is a true romance story of how Rohan unravels the answers to why Vaidehi was mute for so long and how their life is about to change. But little do they know that the worst is yet to come.



My Views:

The story serves a twist and the emotional turn in the story could turn our emotional readers to shed some tears. There is simplicity all over the book. Count on writing style, the story, the thoughts, the reader doesn't need to put pressure on their muscle brains if they are a novice and faces difficulty when it comes to imaginations. Books like this are a good gateway to the fictional world. But, when I talk about my personal experience with the story, I wanted to see more from the story. The story is exceptionally simple, but being an ardent reader I wished to experience some more twists and turn in the story.


I love reading such books during my initial days in the literature world. If I would've read this book back then, I would simply love this book. But, as I read this book now, my tastes have improved, and after going through a lot of such books, I wished to read better from all these. Talking about the storyline, there's a bit of drama to it, which could turn in the author's favour in case of emotional readers.



This book could be a good start for teenagers who are into romantic fictions. It has all the ingredients a newbie seeks for- simple writings style, the narration of incidents which are easy to imagine, and a light read.
