Now, review time –

Praise –

As a first time writer, Anurag Garg and Gunjan Narang have done an outstanding job. They have left a very good impression in the mind of the readers with the very first book itself. It never seemed like it is their first book as it fully filled by humor, emotions, love. I just loved the way every scene has described. Every character in book is perfectly sketched that it almost looks real. The reader feels connected to it. I just loved the character Aarav. And I was living his life while reading the book. It almost reflected me. The last Part of the story was emotional and its ending was highly unpredictable. I was fully engrossed in this book.

The present story leaves one wondering whether it is a story from real life.

Anurag Garg and Gunjan Narang have proved themselves to be an amazing storyteller.

Flaws –

No flaws can be seen as it is written is perfect English. It seems like you’re reading any of Chetan Bhagat or Durjoy Datta’s book. It is just perfect. After a long time, I enjoyed reading work by any debut author.

And, Summing Up –

“A Half Baked Love Story” is a gripping book which doesn’t allow you to put the book down until you have finished reading it: a compelling page-turner with a message at the end.

I would like to rate it 3.5 out of 5. I highly recommend this to everyone.
