ADULTING
by Neharika Gupta
Tejas. Ruhi. Alisha. A weird and complicated love triangle.
The book's name, plot and cover attracted me a lot, but somehow the book disappointed me. The author tried to keep the book perfect, but somehow it fell from the target in between. The story is good, but the execution was somehow predictable and plain. I felt that the author somehow missed some important points while writing the book.
Ruhi is the head at Litracy Publishing, an imprint of a major book publishing brand. She hates the editor-in-chief, her mother to be honest, because of her underestimation of Ruhi's hardwork and dedication towards Litracy. Aisha, the popular blogger and social media manager at Litracy is confident and flamboyant. She lives in the mirage of "less eating, staying fit and gorgeous." Tejas is the author with Litracy who has a bad Writer's Block hampering his new book.
This story of book launches, self-discovery and heartache is really nice, if not excellent. The trio try to stay true to themselves, but fail miserably, and plunge into the depression mode. The author has written this book in a simple manner, with some incidents making me chuckle a bit. The book is written in a diary entry manner, with the POVs of the main characters.
Where the author scores brownie points are the amazing visualization of Litracy's office and Nepal Literature Festival. Beautiful depiction of both places helps author keeping the book on track, if not completely. I wish the author had polished the story a little bit, given some perfection to the characters and given a honest and happy/sad ending. Overall, a good read with some improvements needed.
Goodreads rating - 3/5
My blog rating - 7/10 (Well, it's a 6, but increased one mark because of the description of Litracy's office. Spacious, colorful, and bustling with activity. Also, for perfect description of book launches and book festivals!)
