Reviews

Tomb of Sand
by Geetanjali Shree
"A story told in three parts,Tomb of Sand is a woman's saga as she peels open her life for us"
Posted February 13, 2023

A story about a person. A person regaling a story. A story embedded in a person. A person embedded within a story. Where would the story go if there were no characters? What would the characters do without plot or actions for them to do? One completes the other Read more...


All the Seas of the World
by Guy Gavriel Kay

The Vietri Project
by Nicola DeRobertis-Theye
"THE VIETRI PROJECT is very unique; It challenges the readers with its prose, culturally rich content"
Posted October 3, 2021

There is something peculiar about stories set in a European background. I’m convinced that Europe inspires a narrative style that follows a 'thought buried inside a thought that springs from another idea' format. Andre Aciman brought this to life in CALL ME BY YOUR NAME, which is Read more...


The Road Trip
by Beth O'Leary
"The Road Trip is a tried and tested formula that works best in the genre"
Posted October 3, 2021

I cannot articulate what it is that THE ROAD TRIP brings new to the genre of romantic comedies. Sure it touches on some grave topics while being fluffy for the majority of the plot. Still, other than that, I cannot list anything wholly new or unique to this rendition Read more...

Ariadne
by Jennifer Saint
"Ariadne is a tale of fierce feminism and how a man's world puts a woman's life in jeopardy"
Posted April 29, 2021

Real Life
by Brandon Taylor
"REAL LIFE is a mixed bag of raw emotions, and it refuses to be subtle about it."
Posted January 4, 2021

I would be lying if I said this was a pleasant book to read. REAL LIFE by Brandon Taylor shortlisted for The Booker Prize does not cut its readers any slack. It poses questions bluntly and counts on its reader to become uncomfortable and think over it. It expects Read more...

Posted December 17, 2020

As colorful and wholesome the cover of this book looks, the inside of it is more colorful and wholesome and heart-warming. It is tough to come across a story nowadays that is so pure and innocent, and that exists just to give its readers a perfect time, and Read more...

"Beautiful coming-of-age stories through various viewpoints and characters. . ."
