Review:
'Can love happen twice' is not as bad a book as it was made out to be. Sure, it
is nowhere close to 'I too had a love story', the debut work of the author. But
from the point of readability, it is very much an absorbing stuff.
There
is no uniqueness in the story or knotty convolutions in the plot. It is mush
after all. But it is the simplistic and realistic narration which Ravinder
Singh is known for, that turns this ordinary romance into a loveable, hooking
and even arresting stuff.
You
won't remember this book for too long, but while you are reading it, you will
enjoy it. It is the sequel to 'I too had a love story' but it is fictional and,
unlike its prequel, is not based on Ravinder's real life.
After
a crushing heartbreak (spoiler ahead) following the tragic death of Khushi, the
author immerses himself in work and travels abroad for an official project.
There he bumps into Simar and slowly gets drawn towards her. Love blossoms and
they both decide to settle down. However, yet again, fate throws surprises at
him as he goes through another heartbreak.
A
beautiful cover pic, a sincere narration and a tsunami of emotions make this
book a cheesy bedtime read.
If
you loved Ravinder in 'I too had a love story', you will love him yet again in
this piece. Indeed, love can happen twice.
PS-
You may not like this book if mush and romance are not your preferred genres.
