Going against the mainstream, this book aptly justifies its title as well as its theme. The term “different” is not solely applicable to the title but to the plot, characters and storyline. 

Apart from being different in all aspects the central theme which dominates the whole novel is of love. The idea of love as a unifying force is what makes this novel unputdownable and lovely. 

The story revolves around Prakash and Chandrika having poles apart personalities. The language used is reader-friendly and the book is pretty captivating. 

The novel beautifully depicts the power of love in odd situations and how two different individuals come together through the power of love. This idea of love overcoming all struggles is absolutely mesmerizing. So, I must say that you should read it once.

It is a story of destiny and fate. It revolves around two characters – Kabir and Anamika, who meet, fall in love but are kept apart. 

The best thing about the book is that there is first person narrative and the pace is fast. You do not get bored in-between. The way of story telling is absolutely amazing as it keeps the reader on the edge everytime so that we stay engrossed. 

The storyline is unique and not the cliched type, especially the philosophical things that have been added. 

Overall a very charming love story which everyone must read.

Romance, as a genre/concept, is always special to each individual’s heart. And there is no denying that destiny has a major role in bringing two souls together. Without us being ever aware, the universe conspires secretly and make us stand face to face with our destined partners is what keeps the unpredictability of life alive. 

This beautiful novel is a tale of two individuals who meet unexpectedly while going through a personal loss in their respective lives. Malvika has lost her brother and Rahul had to say goodbye to his dearest father. While the former suffers from anxiety and panic attacks, the latter too is carrying an emotional baggage. Both of them try to put on a strong face to meet the world and collide into each other, falling in love. They become each other’s constant support but we get to know that fate holds something different for them. They get seperated as Rahul goes abroad to pursue his higher studies. And when he comes, things change but to what degree that is what makes the suspense. 

The plot is well layered with contemporary romance genre. The narration is kept easy and simple making it a comfortable read for all. The language used is lucid. The characters are well potraited. There several characters in the plot and each has been given sufficient scope to contribute to the plot. 

A nice read I would say.

The reading of this novel ended with me bawling my eyes out and itching to read it again, thinking maybe there is an alternate ending. Alas this was to no avail and I had to accept the fact that it was what it was. The writer Jojo Moyes forces her readers to believe in all the situations that she creates in this amazing book and makes them reach the point where they find it hard to read, given that their eyes are filled with tears.

This is a love story which shows us the bravery and the effort needed to get our lives back on track after it has been pushed off the course. The book starts somewhere in 2009 where Louisa Clark, a 26 year old, clumsy, happy, working-class girl gets the job as the care taker of the rich, grumpy and witty Mr. Will Traynor. After a tragic accident, he has been left a quadriplegic for two years. It is this condition that puts him in depression and his mother in a desperate need to get him out, hence she hires Louisa.

Lousia- the girl who lives in a windowless room in a sleepy market town, robbed of her confidence to live life. When she finally meets with Will- the once lively man…. they both go through a roller coaster of emotions as they teach each other the parts of life that they both lack respectively.

In this course of the story not only do Lou and Will fall in love with each other but they also bring the reader to fall in love with the purity of their love. Somewhere in between the antics of Louisa, the foreign films they watch and the books they read together we lose ourselves completely and embark upon a journey filled with life lessons, laughter and tears.

I recommend this book to everyone who can get their hands on it.
