Everything Everything -Nichola Yoon



Everything, Everything
by Nicola Yoon
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I felt little weird reading the end . Something was not right about how the disease being portrayed .
Does Carla or her mom always decontaminate themselves before meeting her . How come she can see everydetail of what Olly doing in his room from her window pane .isn't it too much !!!!
If you don't want to go deep into questioning your self you will enjoy the book.
The book is full of doodles and illustration drawn by maddie was quiet fun to read.

The Diary On the Fifth Floor - Raisha Lalwani


The Diary on the Fifth FloorThe Diary on the Fifth Floor by Raisha Lalwani
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Firstly the cover of the book is extremely attractive . It gives you a thriller / horror essence . But the story is nothing close to it .

The story is of Savannah Khanna 25 years old, depressed individual who feels uncomfortable in the surrounding world and visit a psychiatrist  to get help for the extreme negativity in her life. Her entire feeling has been written down in her diary which she gives to the doctor unwillingly. How will the doctor help her to get rid of so much hatred towards the world is what the entire book about.



The diary is of her thoughts written , about the world, and the doctor is her outlet.

Each chapter is like a slap to our face, showing the reality how mankind has become at present .

Example: When there is a death in the family, and someone post  FB status RIP. ( do you think it is necessary to let the world know?)

The book focuses on the mental health and how we should perceive the world. The more negativity we feed to ourself the more upset we will remain in our life.

Chapter 20, Princess gave me  a shiver - A woman  leaves her infant at home under care of  a nanny to resume with her job only tofind out the horror  happening with her baby.

Overall it's a good read. Enjoyed reading the harsh reality.

Blurb:

Siddharth Gupta 27 , ambitious hero gets pressurised from family to look for a  bride. Without much  eagerness he register himself in to a matrimonial site where he stumble upon Beauty with brain Shreya Malhotra. Soon they start going out and find themselves comfortable in each other's company.
Things were perfect ( imagine the violin play)  until Shreya goes for a vacation with her friends to Bangkok and meet the lover boy ,an extreme flirt Shivam Malhotra in the airport. With his cheesy lines he tries to flirt with Shreya ,but it made her irritated. Shivam  manages to woo  Shreya's friend and start dating her. With  few incident Shreya starts  liking Shivam soon after . On the otherside Sid  is all geared up for the marriage. Who will get the bride?

My view:

 Though I could guess the story  ,but still it was somehow unknown to me which made me hooked up till the end.
 I like Sid's character in this book.  The way he expressed his feeling was so honest and relatable, especially the time he went for the date with Shreya for the first time.
Didnt like Shivam though, but at times his way of respecting Shreya was very impressive.
All the characters were well portrait and each played a good amount of space. An easy and fun read .

Author Himanshu Bhatia can give a tough competition to ChetanBhagat  with his debut novel, a very very Bollywoody Just Married Missed, making box-office overflow.

Thank You Author Himanshu Bhatia for the copy.
