My View:
This is a Mystery with Romantic novel. The author tactfully captures the problems faced by the kids with the Comparison and parents expectations. Revolution thought and being unique are banned by the parents. It makes to loose one’s identity. Traditional and principles of life are even tried to enforce by the parents on their children . It shows how destroying one immature’s life and making impacts on his teenage to push suffering and hard lifetime.
Another crisis in this novel is past’s revenge on present. Past’s unknowing fault of Rahul makes a miserable lifetime to Thrisha. This totally ruins the present life and happiness of a protagonist Rahul. No one can recorrect their past fault if it’s committed with knowledge or unknown in present. Past is past always.
The revenge, love, affection, risk assessment , emotion,comparison of parents, betrayal, reunite, forgiveness, traditional, recovering all are played role in this novel through major character.
This novel moves back and forth (past to present) relentlessly to give twist and thrill. In every chapter their is different different twist. Even though the plot revolves back and forth the plot is Cristal clear to understand. It grips me to continue read at late night. Letters and messages are used to reveal their emotions greatly.
