A girl like me, needs interesting story to read!!!

When my colleague got bunch of books to read, I was really excited to see so many options. I selected the one which was very girly for a change and I ended up reading ‘A girl like me by Swati Kaushal’. From beginning only I have perception that Indian authors are not good in creating unique stories and this book proved me wrong. Indian authors not just lack uniqueness in the story but also lack making normal story interesting.

So what will be story of this book? A girl like me, is like any ordinary girl who is sad because she shifted from her home in US to India when her father passes away. She ended up living with her mom in Delhi. So what this girl does? Nothing just try and drag on life, since it’s sad and miserable and unfair and so on. The pain of new friend, old friend, workaholic mom, and lost passion for sport leads to monotonous life. Also there is childhood love which never got any direction till the end. For those who hate summer of Delhi might find the introduction interesting as it talks about scorching sun.

Soon like typical Bollywood movie the twist in tail comes, the entry of bad boy. Bad boy bad boy what you gonna do, what you gonna do with a girl like who? Anyways dark side is for short moment of time and book ends with a question Mark in mind, what the hell happened?

The book is boring, ordinary and uninteresting. In the beginnings it picks up little bit late but soon it will start disappointing you. In between I got interest that the book might lead to something interesting but my hopes were crushed. Only saving grace on this book is explanation of the situation but not all the time. It hardly portrait the whole scene. I won’t mind reading book by India authors but all I ask for is good story.

A girl like me, a boy like u, a story like this, is never new!!!
