Many times it happens, the things left unsaid. Letters to My Ex is a story of things left unsaid and unspoken words and trying to discover what it was and how it affected their relationship and bring them to a crossroad.

They visited again and rewind the time they spent together in the café, on the streets hand in hand and conversations they had over the phone calls and still few things they afraid to say to each other. Why did that happen? We discover it in the book.

The plot is great, in fact, unique which makes it different. I was more intrigue in the story just because of the plot. The storyline is good that is in the form of letters but could have been better. I am not completely impressed how the story runs through the pages. This is not her best work.

The thing I like about the story is the way protagonist Nidhi bared it all in the letters she writes to her ex. She said it all and opened her heart to Abhay to read it like a book. Nidhi knew what she wants from life and Abhay and not afraid to say it and take the plunge. The character of Nidhi is a strong girl.

The author sketched the characters beautifully. The characters are sorted and the author knew where to take the story. It is a short book which hardly takes few hours. Looking for a new plot story. Give it a try.

A story of love and togetherness. A story of heartbreaks and hopes. A story of unfulfilled promises.

Rasia is a story of dance, passion and obsession. A man passionate about his craft of dancing. A wife, a student and a perfect partner. A made for each other couple. A stubborn and obsessed girl. A Bharatnatyam show in Manhattan which brings them all on one stage.

The story revolves around dance and passion. Raj Shekhar Subramaniam keeping his unhappy and unfortunate past behind and giving his dream a bigger picture trying to run ahead of time. He wants to shadow his past with the clinquant future so no one questions his past and he will have nothing to regret. His passion for Bharatanatyam is uncompromising.

The story captivates you as soon you get in the forty-fifty pages in the book. The characters of Raj Shekhar Subramaniam and Vatsala Pandit are mysterious and interesting. I like the way the author explores the characters and give them space to come forward and speak the readers directly. The characters communicate with you and open their heart to peek in.

The character of Mansi is simple and well sorted. She has nothing to hide. She is at peace with her life and happy to see her husband grow and support his passion for Bharatnatyam. She is an obedient student and a perfect partner for life and dance.

The story is perfect and worked well for me. A journey of a self-made man behind whose lie the contribution of two women. One who supported him and stands as a rock and other challenged him to perform on stage with her. Find out who is a better partner with him on stage.

A story of the dance of desire. An excellent story, well articulated and superbly narrated. The story speaks perfection.

Go and get your dreams. It is never too late, everything happens for a reason and at the right time.
