Review:
I finished this novel in a week that due during my busy schedule that itself speaks a lot about how readable and good it is. If you like reading love stories then you can grab this one. Author has built a great story revolving around friendship and relationships that most of us would be able to relate to. Its the story of a guy who makes a mess of his life due to his love , his insecurities and his wrong decisions and its builds a great web of events that explain what the author is going through. Its easy to imagine and smooth to read. The character definition is very polished and while reading , i had a smooth transition between characters and thankfully i did not get lost in who is who and who is doing what. Each character has a well defined role and i never felt why i am reading about him/her in this story. The angle of love is profound and the best part of this story. Without giving up any spoilers , i would just say that the name is apt for the story and it indeed is all for love . When i am reading any story , the most important thing for me is how much involved i get in it. For me it is a good story , if i want to go back to reading after a long day at work or if i think about the story and its characters even when i am not reading it. This book scores well in that department. It was indeed an engrossing read. You would want to know more and finish it quickly.
Coming to certain points which could have been better : At some places i found the events to be stretched too much and i felt i could easily skip a few pages. The writing style is a bit different i would say. When i started with the book , it took me a while to get used to this kind of narration and become fully involved . But , every writer has his own style so i don't mind this actually . For me , the ending of the story is a little clumsy. Author has tried to give a twist in the end , but for me it didn't work like a charm. It is NOT a let down but it did not have a WOW factor also. The turn of events at the end is highly unexpected which is good but it did not gel well with the entire story . Also ,at the end i thought there was less explanation for why things happened the way they did. I also got confused at certain places and was left wondering about it.
To sum it up , it is a great and simple read if you just want to pick up a book while travelling or are in a mood for a story about relationships which you can relate to. I will recommend this and also look forward to the next book by the Author .
P.S - I got a review copy of this book through Writersmelon in exchange of an honest review
