As I sit down to write this review for Love.exe by Manju Nambiar I am wondering if my words will justify this beautiful romantic story. I have read many books but this stands outstanding and amazing. This is one of the best romantic stories I have ever read. From the beginning to the end of the story the author takes us back to memories. The simplicity and subtlety of the plot and the adorability of the characters are deep and there is no way for the reader to keep the smile lasting throughout the end.
The protagonist Neethu aka Nitya Balakrishnan is a young, bubbly, charming, and brilliant girl who gets through to Stanford University with a fully funded scholarship. She is aspiring to complete her Masters in the United States. Her parents belong to the typical Indian mindset when it comes to marriage. Although they support her dreams to study further, Nitya’s mother wants her to get married. However, Cupid has a different plan for Nitya. Gane aka Ganapathy is a gentle breeze in Nitya’s life. Nitya and Gane hit an instant bonding and Lovelock from the moment they meet.
Things seem to be unfavorable in Ganapathy’s family. Nitya chooses to study over marriage. She secures a job during the course of her study thus becoming independent. A childish Nitya becomes matured and wise. She meets her first love and then follows a series of events with interesting incidents. The twist towards the end of the story is a symphony of music.
My take on the story
I took three days to enjoy the essence of love in this story. I honestly did not want to end up soon. Every chapter will take us back into nostalgic memories. In fact, I had a crazy thought that the author had spied on my life. The characters Nitya and Ganapathy have left a memorable impression on me. I feel to have enjoyed and lived the characters in every chapter, every word, and every emotion. I have given an imaginary paint to Ganapathy and Nitya. This story is a plethora of emotions. I have no doubt it will sync with the readers.
My rating – I honestly wish to give a perfect 5. I only miss the beautiful illustrations of the characters.
This book makes a perfect gift for someone you love, so the next time you think about gifting something to a loved one, this book can make a beautiful present.
If I could give additional stars, I would!!! I have no words to express how much I loved this story. Once you start, you cannot keep the book down. The author’s witty portrayal of many real situations in India makes you literally laugh out loud! The story is very well-paced and keeps your curiosity alive and burning throughout the read. You can be sure that the book would lift your spirits and leave a smile on your face as you read though to the end! I am now on the lookout for more stories by this author! A must buy!
