Now, The Review –

Life & Promises is a regular love story in which boy meets girl. But I liked it the way it started. The whole description of CA and how they get through it is done wonderfully. One could smell the love, struggle on every page of the book. This was unusual love story. Authors have taken care of story very well.  The story has a fresh touch to it. At places it makes you laugh your lungs out, and other time, you will feel sad. The language is simple yet effective

This book is a fast and fun read which can be read while travelling. The plot is very strong and unique. Emotions were really strong in every line of the book. Every scene is perfectly captured. I would like to rate it 3.5/5. I would like to recommend this book to everyone who is looking for light and fun read. It worth to be read.
