My Review:-

Adhira.
What does Adhira mean? Any guesses?
No.
So let me help you.
Adhira is a Hindi word which means lightning; strong.
As the meaning of the name says, so is our main protagonist Adhira. A simple living married girl who runs her own music studio. She has achieved whatever she wanted in life. So she wanted to give opportunities to others in the field of music. She was married to Akshit for 5 years who mostly lived away and meet her once or twice a year. Her life was good and happiness all around with what she had achieved when she came to know that she hadn't much time left. She was suffering from bone marrow aplasia. She expected her life partner to be beside her in her last days. Instead he came with divorce papers and left immediately after it was signed by her.

What trauma will Adhira go through when she will see the divorce papers?
Who will be that one person who will always be beside her?
Will Adhira undergo a treatment to cure the disease or die leaving her family and friends?
Whom does Adhira meet on her way to Gurgaon?
How does Adhira help Anirudh and Sarika to sort out their differences?
Who was that lost love of Adhira? Will she able to find him? Will they be able to become one again?


You need to read this novel to get all the answers.

The beginning of the novel is very good and hooks the reader to it. However as the story progresses it gets very slow in the middle where I feel as if the story got stagnant for a while. Though the author has tried to catch up later however I feel thats too late for it.
Morever when you read a story you expect the story to end whether its on good note or bad, doesn't matter the story should end. However here I was very much upset when I was left in the middle unknown about what happened to Adhira after she underwent the treatment or whether she married her love or not?

Secondly I didn't like the numerous characters in the story and the innumerous grammatical mistakes.  The grammatical mistakes made reading difficult.
An author should always remember to keep the number of characters as low as possible. It was very difficult to remember the characters. I would often turn the pages back as to remember who the person was. So I would suggest the author to keep the numbers low next time when she write a novel.

Overall a good novel to read and know about different kind of people living together. You can find most of it here. It has all the drama, love, romance one expects. So I think it won't upset rom-com readers and would be a good one over a cup of tea.
