We live under the same sky by NishaPsons
Reviewer : the_lonely_pi
Cover - 3/5
The cover captures the mood of the story, blending melancholy with a hint of hope. However, it could benefit from a more vibrant or symbolic design that reflects the emotional journey within the book.
Title - 4/5
The title, "We Live Under the Same Sky," is poetic and evokes a sense of shared human experience, which ties well with the story's exploration of love, loss, and healing. It subtly hints at the connection between the characters despite their emotional and physical distances.
Blurb - 4/5
The blurb effectively introduces the main conflict and the protagonist's emotional struggle. It sets up expectations for a journey of self-discovery and the challenges of moving on after heartbreak. However, it could be more concise to maintain reader interest while still conveying the complexity of the narrative.
Characters - 7/10
Arpana Pathak is a well-rounded character whose struggles with love and memory make her relatable and compelling. Cameron Maxwell, though charming, feels a bit stereotypical as the "modern-day Romeo." The introduction of Rudra adds complexity to the love triangle, though his character could be developed further to create more tension and depth.
Plot - 7/10
The plot explores the aftermath of trauma and the difficulty of rebuilding one's life and relationships. The story's pacing is steady, though the psychiatrist sessions sometimes feel repetitive. The tension between Arpana's past with Rudra and her present with Cameron keeps the reader engaged, but the resolution could be more satisfying.
Grammar & Vocabulary - 4/5
The writing is clear, with good grammar and a decent range of vocabulary. Some sentences could be tightened for better flow, but overall, the language effectively conveys the protagonist's emotional state.
Enjoyment - 3/5
The story is engaging but occasionally drags due to repetitive scenes. The premise is intriguing, and readers invested in character-driven stories will find it enjoyable, though a bit more action or unexpected twists would elevate the overall experience.
Overall Rating: 32/45
A solid exploration of love and healing, with room for deeper character development and plot twists.
