Would she like
to fall in love again? This is the question asked by the author in this book
and then she tried her best to build a story around it. Nikita Singh is a
pretty-faced Indian writer. She is known for known for contemporary novels with
modern themes like love on social media, how to move on after break-up, falling
in love many a time, etc. etc…
She has
written many light and racy novels – all set in India – for light and young
readers. Now, let’s see what’s new in her new novel Every Time It Rains. It is
a sweet sequel to ‘Like A Love Song’, in which the story was narrated through
Maahi’s point of view. Well, ‘Every Time It Rains’ is about Laila’s point of
view, and also explores the inner soil and traits of this lonely intriguing character.
The first half
of the book is about business deals and bakery business and cupcakes and
cookies. But who knows the lass trying for a national level franchise is a
heart-broken from within. Trying to still come up with the terms of life, thus
she is extra focused on her work, probably a way to get away with old deeds and
pains. Indeed, broken hearts can strive for anything – it itself is a
motivational force within oneself, but you need to utilize that before
believing in that.
Maahi, another
character in the novel, a friend of her cannot understand the mystery wrapped
around Laila. Nevertheless, they are good friends and business partners – aspiring
and aiming for big bucks and big name. Things begin to stir up when a chirpy
and dashing guy called JD confront Laila, and soon he becomes someone who
inadvertently tries raking up her life, but no sooner than her past life grips
her. She is in a tussle now: a tug-of-war like situation! Be it anything, the
result is that they both begin feeling attracted to each other. Love stories
start like this, right? The second love story of her life is all set to welcome
her. Would she enter into it? Will she reconcile with the factor or the past
will pull her back?
To know better
of it, you need to read this extraordinary story of ordinary Laila. The pace of
narration is good, but the writing part is slightly sloppy. Hope she overcomes
her floppy prose in the coming books.
