Story-in-Short:
Life is a bitch and I’m one of its victims. I had the perfect life. I was blessed with the perfect boyfriend, a perfect best friend, the perfect set of girlfriends and perfect choice of career. There were some loopholes but then they went beyond my perspective. Overall, I had the kind of life people would ideally like to have but happy times aren’t meant to last forever.
Bad Romance by Harshita SrivastavaSometimes we feel that we have figured life but that’s something that is never going to happen. You know why? It’s because it has this habit of kicking us right in the middle of ecstasy. No wonder, it did the same with me.
This is my story, my story of that exploration within, my feelings, my emotions, my thought process, my priorities, my conflicts and my journey into the temptation of love, lust, lies and betrayals. This is the story of Kritika and a man who gave her life another dimension, Tanishq. This is a story of the complexities of relationships and the trap that a simple idea of sensuality, pleasure and euphoria can put you into. This is a story for everyone who has loved, lost and fought for survival and love, together.
In My View:
Romance is what you can call an outcome of love and affection. We often see people turning romantic with their partners. This feeling is full of excitement and joy. A romance is associated with good and pleasurable feelings. Mutual understanding, honesty and morality make a relationship shine. But when dishonesty and betrayal follows, bitterness invades for sure. Here I am done reading Bad Romance… Love, Lies and Betrayal by author Harshita Srivastava and here’s my review on the book!
This story is about Kritika who turns down her parents aspirations to study in Bangalore and chooses Greater Noida for studies. Being an ambitious girl, Kritika desires to become a Radio Jockey but her father firmly maintains his denial to this choice of hers. Here, while pursuing her studies, Kritika comes across Vikrant and soon they discover feelings for each other.
As days pass, perils overpower pleasures and she finds it difficult to manage the relation. Fearing about another break-up, she somehow deals with it. But when this whole relation takes a risky turn, she approaches her friend Tanishq for help. Tanishq is her friend who promises to help her out. Soon enough Kritika begins to spend time with Tanishq. Meanwhile, she gets a chance to follow her passion. But what turn will this love story take? And will she be able to manage things in her life? To discover more about this story, readers must surely place an order for the book and go through it!
The story involves a reader completely as the author has dealt inOver-all:terestingly with it.
Over-all: The cover of the book features a woman standing on the seashore, trying to find out a moment of peace for herself. The cover page is truly enthralling. The cover page designer deserves a round of applaud for this! The title of the book is intriguing. Both, the cover as well as the title will easily captivate a reader’s attention. The narration of the story is good.
Speaking about the drawbacks, the beginning as well as ending of the story could have been better. Also, the author could have moulded the story in a different manner. While going through the story, I did find some editorial mistakes too.
Yet, I would call the story intriguing as readers will develop an urge to find out further happenings in Kritika’s life. Eventhough the story sounds like a casual one, yet its narration plays wonders! Readers must give this story a try!
