However, with The Reason Is You, I couldn't stop. Generally, if I see too much of a drama somewhere, I just DNF the book and not review it. Yet, one cannot ignore the fact that Singh's writing had magic. It felt as if the drama inside was unnecessary and merely there to drag the book. However, I still hate the fact that half the drama in this book could have been resolved if Siddhant just booked an appointment for Akriti and taken her to a therapist or psychiatrist himself. The fact that people love it today suggests how the society has improved. Had it been published as much as ten years ago, no one would have bothered to read it. I guess it made a lot of sense why this novel was something that was written in today's times. But na-uh, she wanted to think she was crazy. What was stopping her then? If she was embarrassed by everything happening around, then she could help Siddhant take care of her. But the fact that she went through over 200 pages without taking any of it merely made me despise her. The only thing that kept me going through it all was knowing that Akriti was depressed and she needed help. Why else wouldn't she go and get help instantly?)Ī drama that could very well have been resolved if the two people had sat and talked about it? Check.Īn ex who would appear time and time again? Check. (she admits that this was not her ideology but I couldn't help thinking that it really was. Wrong! This book had almost every element that I dislike in a novel.Ī person trapped in a relationship, unable to do something about it? Check.Ī person in need of help but not getting it because she thinks that makes her crazy? Check. Now these were the ones who had read authors I dislike and hated them too, so I assumed there opinion was a nice thing to go on with. But then, the people who had read Nikita Singh's works in the past informed me that she was worth it.

Not because it was a romantic novel set in India but because the kind of romance I have seen (not just read, but seen) happen in India wasn't the kind that I was particularly a fan of.

It was an Indian romance so my expectations weren't that high. This was the first time I was actually sitting down and reading something by her and I wasn't sure as to what should I expect. When I picked up this book by Nikita Singh, I had only heard great things about her. Thank you Writer's Melon for a review copy of this book. Follow Just A Girl High On Books for more reviews.
