"Tea For Two And A Piece Of Cake" by Preeti Shenoy - A Review

On The Jacket –

What if life threw you a magnificent opportunity, only to knock you down later and laugh at you? Would you fight back or let it pass?

Nisha s life is far from perfect. At twenty-six, she is plump, plain-looking, and without a boyfriend. A chance date and a bizarre twist of events lead her to the altar with suave Samir Sharma, only to be abandoned eight years later. As she struggles to stand on her own feet, Akash, a younger guy, enters her life. Can Nisha find love a second time?

Tea for Two and a Piece of Cake is an unusual, a heart-warming, and gripping love-story between two people who have so much to lose by getting into a relationship with each other, yet so much to gain.

Storyline –

The story is about a girl, Nisha who leads a simple life, nothing perfect in it. She’s single, plump and plain looking. All that changes when her name is pulled out of a draw to go to an important function. There, she meets, and falls in love with Samir Sharma, who is a senior partner at another firm. The chance meeting doesn’t go that well on one count, as she ends up losing her job. But other things do go her way. Her luck changes and she’s invited by Samir to on an even more important tour. After her return, her personal life gets an even harder hit. Then, they get married. And then it all starts – Family drama like it happens in every family, fights on small small issues. Their lives are blessed with two children, a daughter first and then a son. Nisha becomes a devoted mother.

After eight years of married life, she one day finds a letter from Samir saying it isn’t working out. He offers to give her the money to take care of the children. Overnight, she has to make changes in her life. She moves out of her house, finds a new place to stay. She finds support in her old friend Akash who tries to help her out. Akash helps her to start a new career, and her new neighbor, a lovely lady Mrs. B also gives that career a push. Is that enough to help her rebuild her life and her status in society?

For more, you better read the book.

Now, Review Time –

The narration skills of authors are awesome as it comes live to us. The story flows smoothly but at a very fast pace. It’s a gripping tale and you really don't want to put the book down until you finish it reading. It is written in very good and gripping language. It didn’t find any flaw in book. I enjoyed reading it all.

Final Verdict –

Tea for two is not your regular love story about Love lost and found. A book that explores the fabric of human relationships and makes you think when you put it down.

A very gripping tale. I would like to rate it 3.75 out of 5. It really worths a read. I highly recommend this to everyone who is looking for romantic read.
