Hello Pratishtha,

This is Aradhna. I have read and reviewed your book. I really hope that my review helps you in future book projects
i will start with pros and then move towards cons of your book.

Pros:

1)the connection of past between the leads and death mystery is a pro because as a reader i would really wish to know the reason of Anirudh's special affinity towards bondita despite him being a bit reserved and serious person.

2)the entire positive vibe the book gives: even if bondita belongs to a different background there is positive vibe in this book that attracts readers..bondita being from a lower middle class family but still optimistically facing her issues and problems makes her character strong...and lively as well

Cons:

1) The soap opera vibe which comes. the story as you said is from modern day and batuk seeing his dada with a girl and telling it to kaka and kaka suddenly ranting for ani's marriage seemed a bit illogical to me. Nowadays it is not a big deal of a boy and girl being together and even if it is unlikely for Anirudh to be with a girl it is much more unlikely for his kaka to think of that girl being potential bahu of their house.. this gave the typical soap opera vibe which i think was a bit unnecessary you could have tried something more better and interesting

2)Bondita not knowing pastry flavours and coffee flavours but going for a destination wedding that too in darjeeling and has knowledge of taekwondo even after being from a poor background was hard to believe and as far as my knowledge goes they are in calcutta the city famous for coffee shops so bondita being an educated florist and not knowing cappuccino seemed very far fetched to me atleast

3) The ages of characters: Anirudh a 24 year old and a successful businessman was also a far fetched idea. His character has barely completed education and on top of that he is a successful businessman I get that he comes from a very well off family still if arc constructions is his own venture then being so successful at the young age of 24 is hard to believe he should at least be 28 his attitude behaviour nothing seems 24 at all as much as the story has progressed till now. another thing is that bondita is talking about girls can pay their bills and all but her own aspirations have not been explored til now. what is her goal in life? she wants to do business like event managing and all or she wants to study so that was a thing which could have been shown in the introductory segment.

Final Review:

The story in short is an absolute fairytale as the title suggests but the realism is something that bothered me a bit because my expectations after reading the title were more for a fairytale turned into reality kinda thing. i would suggest that in future chapters a realistic approach andmore exploration to the feelings of the characters.. a little more expertise in writing povs and highlighting povs should be done otherwise your english,hindi grammar is quite well and fair enough some errors in spellings or translations are inevitable so i have not deducted marks on that aspect. otherwise the positive vibe and vibrant location of the story gives it a must read review and i would say that don't share every single information in your promos because it makes the story very predictable. wish you all the very very best !!!!!!!! remember one thing that constructive criticism is always better than fake flattery.

Congratulations well done I have not deducted marks on originality because your concept was unique and also the story is still in progressing mode so these marks are for you intorductionand chapters you have written and updated till 11th of january . All the very best for your book
