The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood

The Love hypothesis is the contemporary adult romance written in third person.

Olive Smith, a grad student doing her PhD in Stanford, in order to make her best friend move on in the relationship with their ex, maybe ex-date or the person whom olive was seeing. She made a lie that she is dating someone and to prove that lie she went ahead and kissed the first person she met and that person is none other than the youngest, handsome, most brilliant with genius IQ, academic rockstar and biology's wunderkind Dr Adam Carlsen but he is also mean, hypothetical, notoriously moody, obnoxious, terrifying person. This is what the grads in Stanford say about him. 

And Olive kissed this Adam Carlson which was seen by her best friend Anh and as per Olive's plan. (her plan was to make Anh believe that she is dating someone) and in order to maintain that lie she was forced to date Carlsen. Also, Adam on the other hand was facing some issues with the department that they have freezed his funds thinking he may flight risk, leave Stanford and go to other institutions. So in order to release the fund i.e., make them believe that he is staying that he has a reason to stay. They both decided to fake date. 

As they proceed with the fake dating, they were forced to make more lies and ended up in the phase "actually-we-are-fake-dating-then-why-I-am-feeling-like-this". That may sound like a typical fake dating trope romance book. Yeah it is! But it is typical in its own way. It didn't sound like the usual, it is different and special! Really special to me!!

This book made me smile, smile a lot, really a lot. Some parts even made me go giddy that I have to re-read those lines again, with a big smile on my face. This book hooked me right from the line one till the very end of the story. Speaking of the ending, the end, the epilogue was perfect, so perfect, perfectly epic! The first and last parts of the book was too good, that at one point of time it really made me forget that I was actually reading I guess that's the power of a good book! To be frank, I'm obsessed with this book and is still stucked on my mind ever since I finished the book. 
The Story development, the character development, the way the story written are freaking awesome. Speaking of the characters, Olive is one of the mentally strongest fictional character I admired. She is one of those never give up person. And Adam, Adam is just Adam. Can someone tell me where can I get a boyfriend like Adam Carlsen. He is so so him and I'm really into him I guess him🙈😂. Him and Olive, they really make a very good, freakingly awesomic good pair. I felt more for Adam when he said "whatever is that you are crying about, I fix it, I'll make it right", like who even says that when he was already.....sorry I can't disclose that. Just read this book, it's so so good.

And about the other characters, Holden, Malcolm and Anh, their characters are well developed and well written. What I appreciate more was when Anh came to know the truth the author has perfectly avoided the unnecessary drama and portrayed Anh as the sweet, supporting friend. What I felt missing or What I couldn't get enough of was Adam's POV, I just want to know more of what Adam was thinking, What he was doing in those initial years (if you know what I mean).

This is one of the books I was hyped over to read because of bookstagram as it keep popping in my feed and now I'm feeling grateful that I read this book. I completed this book in a day, on Feb 14th and can't deny that its the best valentine treat! I felt like reading my kind of book after a very long time and I can't wait to read Ali Hazelwood's other books. 

And last but not least, I'm gonna rise title 9 complaint Oops! No, no! as I said I'm not over the book yet! Let me reframe it, I am gonna raise a complaint on the what-so-ever title on Adam Carlsen (I'm officially gushing over him) and on all other fictional characters for raising my expectations to really an unrealistic level, for making me an intensified fictophilic, for occupying my mind 24/7, for keeping me from doing my chores and pending tasks, for being "antagonistic and unapproachable" and more importantly for being fiction😖

#Scribblings3 If I could turn back time⌛

IF I COULD TURN BACK TIME, you might think that this time I will choose to not break my heart by you, anyone else. But I am not doing that. If I could turn back time, I would again let our first meeting be near that coffee machine just like the last time. Just like the last time, I would again see you drinking your coffee. I would again see you smiling with your friends...God that smile, this time I would see that smile a little longer. I would again ask my best friend about you. I would again find you on social media and stalk you again. I would again wait for the breaks to see you. I would again catch you watching me. I would again watch your friends tease you whenever I'm there. I would again fall for those eyes. I would again fall for you, this time with more intensity and with more love. And just like the last time, I would again let you love me, happily recreate us. I would again happily go through all our moments together, this time with a silver lining. A hope w...

The different Bride by Charu Singh

Image
The different bride is a simple and unique story of Chandrika and Prakash. This story takes place in the year 2000 where these two people get to know each other from a peculiar, ancient yet interesting way - telephonic phone. Interesting nah! Started as a customer call service support person, they travelled through friendship and along with that there comes the expected one LOVE.  Yeah, upto this, the story may sound quite simple and common but here comes the twist, as I already told theirs is an unique story and in the world where it's not easy to be different, Chandrika, one of the strong female character I have come across, faced all the challenges with holding her Chin up along with the support of her loved ones. Even if it is not a issue at all, not many will put themselves in our shoes and think, not many will understand us and not many will accept us. So obviously this will lead to hurts and breaking hearts.  So what will happen to the love story of Chandrik...
