My dear readers, it has been a long time that I have not reviewed a book. I was quite busy setting things up for my third book publication and I have been spending my time for myself to boost my priorities and have safe health.
I never felt disconnected from the Blogosphere
since I am home always, just a tap away. In recent days, I have come across
many situations and met amazing people in my life’s journey. In this expedition
to mold me into a personality that cannot be overlooked by anyone, I have met a
person who is a young, dynamic, cool attitude, and friendly.
Moreover, he is a teacher like me. I love teaching
and I always love to be called myself a trainer as I have successfully trained
many students in gaining the skills in various fields.
Alright, so this person is Nikhil Kamath and he is
the author of “It was you ALWAYS”.
Being a book bug, I have explored all the genres
of books and read many too. But I review only those books which I feel like are
connected to my heart.
Besides, I never let myself act as a soundbox to
echo the chants of famous authors, in my opinion, famous and the most
successful authors are those who are working hard to pay their bills and
assisting others selflessly without being noticed by the world.
So, here Nikhil is such an inspiring author who is
capable of engaging his readers with more excitement and his work reflects his
dedication and real-life experiences. What are we waiting for, let us dive in
and review the book?
Love is always an attractive topic:
Nikhil’s “It was you Always” is a love genre book,
and many people out there think that reading or writing a love story is just
like sipping a cup of coffee, but it is never that easy. If the words are used
without any order, that same cup of coffee is going to burn our lips.
The love stories are born from the pain, real-life
experiences, and rejections, not everyone is capable of handling that genre so
easily and get away with their mess.
This book is a sweet love story with a twist, I
was just roaming in my room when I started reading the third chapter. You will love
the book if you are a lover of reading love stories.

Characters and their behavior:
Neeraj Prabhu is the hero of the book, and the
story revolves around his life and love. His character develops as the chapters
open up. There are a total of 14 chapters in this book neatly arranged
according to the characters' timing and progressing the story.
I guess the author adjusted the chapters to the 14
number as the number 14 has its significance in all the love stories, February
14 – Valentines' day. This is a guess, I am not sure about this though.
You will see the Protagonist progress through the
sufferings and how he consoles himself when stricken by the sad times. The love
of our hero in this book is Shreya Mohapatra, in the introduction of the
character, the author uses gorgeous, simple, cute and compares her smile to
that of a small child.
This is not a common love story kind of book which
we read daily or hear from our friends, you need to read to know how this book
differs from the other love story books out there. This is a stand-out book.
Neeraj is a food lover, his interest in searching
to eat out at new places in Mangalore and Mumbai in some chapters reveals that
he is a foodie enthusiast.
Sameer and Sushmita are the two other characters
in the book where we will see their names almost everywhere in the book, they
are the closest friend to Neeraj and they always had back of Sameer when he is
in a state of confusion or depression. Prerna is another major character in the
book, you will get to know who she is at the beginning itself, and her
eagerness is the reason for all the story to be narrated.
The Story:
We cannot conclude what is going to happen next in
this book by reading few chapters, which means, it is an unpredictable
compilation of words and moments.
Who doesn’t love being eager to read what will
happen next, right? This is not a long book to read or you do not need to spend
like 24 hours to read the book. I have finished the book out of my curiosity
within two hours.
Although I have applied my speed reading skills in
the process, I have re-read the book later for knowing the deep meanings which
are hidden in the beautiful words.
The author has portrayed love in a good manner,
love takes many forms and it has many roles to play, when we truly understand
the other person whom we love or who is loving us, then there will be a life
full of love.
If our parents are not letting us go to a place
which we are striving to visit, then there is love and caring, but to our mind,
it is still like they are controlling us. If a girl is resisting us to do
something, then definitely she got a strong reason to do so. A bit of
misunderstanding can result in huge consequences.
You will see all sorts of things in this love
story, both of the main characters have to undergo all kinds of misunderstandings
and fights. But, do they fight and breakup? Well, I don’t want to give a
spoiler here, that you should know by reading the book.
Conclusion:
The book is overall a good read, you will find no
fillers for fillings the page or just to occupy the space in a page. Each
paragraph is framed in such a way that will make us fall in love with the book.
Every love story has two possible ends, a happy
ending where the two love birds will find a true home and dwell in love, and a
sad ending where they will get separated due to multiple reasons like ego
issues, misunderstandings, and disapproval from families, etc.
This book will help you as a guide if you are in
love and also assist them who are going to find the love soon. The real
conversations and the moments mentioned in the book will make you float. You
will see career-wise progress in the field of Hotel Management. Most of the
books which I read revolved around Engineering life, and being in that
atmosphere I felt a bit bore while reading those stories. But here, I know
something about Hotel Management but not everything, and that also kept me in
the interesting zone. My best friend is in the same field but I never asked her
these all.
My rating for the book is 10/10 and this is not
the promotion post or any advertisement. As you all know that I will never keep
ads on my site and I review those which I truly fall in love with.
Nikhil Kamath is the name which you will see in the
future as one of the great mentor and author. You can get a copy of this book

Until the next post, let us stay safe in these
pandemic times and I will see you soon…
