Too Good to Be True - Prajakta Koli
My Rating: 2/5 (Feeling generous).
When it comes to books, I am a very curious soul, hence at times I keep stealing books from my kids' collection to understand what they are reading these days. This book was unfortunately from that set when my dearest sister in law visited Pune last month for a vacation and had picked this one up from Indore airport. This is more like a teenage love story where nothing goes wrong, even written from a teenage perspective and for someone’s guilty pleasure where the protagonist falls head over heels in love with a guy who is fair, handsome, with dimpled cheeks, curly hairs, superb biceps and body of-course followed by being a CEO of his Dad’s public limited company, swanky penthouse in south Bombay, a Karan Johar styled mansion in Mussorie, a private jet and even a helicopter (reminds you of 50 Shades right?) and right when it sounds “To Good to Be True” there has to be something wrong with him for his family, blah blah blah… and the book gets over with a predictable ending which I was able to predict in first 25 pages but had to finish again to keep my record intact. Not blaming her for reading, and I am hoping she must have loved this book (cause she herself is in mid 20s). Being a debut book of an actor turned author, I didn’t have any expectations, but glad that I was able to breeze through it in no time.
Do let me know if you have read this one and liked it. If you are looking for a teenage romance with a happy ending, this is your book with a slight twist. Otherwise, you can skip it.
