Review - Urban Love by Akshay Chitre.



Author:- Akshay Chitre
Publisher:- Notion Press
ISBN:- 978-93-84878-60-3
Pages:- 203

When I read the title, I thought it must be a romantic novel involving two people from big cities who have lavish lifestyles. But the author proved me wrong. 
The story is based in Mumbai and it revolves around the three girls - Priya, Anusha and Meghna. 
About the story:-
The three girls meet for the first time in a local gym in Mumbai. The first meeting itself gives a kickstart to their friendship. With time they become soulmates sharing each and everything among themselves. But Priya hides everything about Anuj untill she meets Vikram before leaving for Goa and on the way she tells everything to Meghna. 
While attending Nidhi's marriage, Priya finds the love of her life in Raj. However she doesnot reveal anything to Raj about Anuj nor does she tell anything about Raj to Anuj. The most important twist takes place when Anusha says some bitter words to both her friends leading to breakup of their friendship.

Will the girls get together as they were before?
What will happen when Raj and Anuj shall confront themselves and how will Priya react and justify?
What were the bitter words that broke their friendship?
Will the girls get their love?
Will Anusha confess her love?
Shall Meghna find anyone who will love her irrespective of her past?

All this shall enfold when you will read the story.

The thing which I liked most in the story was Anusha's love and respect for her father. She just took away the heart. She is a dream daughter a father can have.
The boys in the story are dream lovers and husbands a girl can have. It is hard to find such boys who are real gentleman. However it isn't impossible.

The things which I didn't like was there where some major mistakes which must be rectified. I did find misprint of names of certain characters which just disturbs the flow.

One more thing which I didn't liked was Meghna's one night stand. It is not necessary for a woman to sleep with any random guy just to be equal. 
The portray of characters are good and you will get to know the actual lives of the people of cities.
Overall the story is a good read. It has emotions, feelings, and much more. The reader is going to enoy the ride. So with this wishing the author Akshay Chitre all the best for future. 

Story:- 4/5
Writeup:-4/5
Characters:-5/5
Overall:-4/5
