REVIEW :
Romance has always been one of the most flamboyant genres I’ve been living up to. But then reading, "UNNS", a romantic thriller, made me fall in love with it all the more. Starting right from the cover of the book, it’s been designed with such precision and perfection that in itself portrays the true essence of love. The blurb of the book is promising enough to arouse interest among the readers and compels them to turn the pages of the book with a quicker pace.
Kudos to the editor for keeping the language of the book so simple and easy to read with no strings attached. He has certainly passed the flash reading test with a whopping score. Moreover, the characterization in the book is quite smooth and flows naturally with the storyline. The narration is also very intriguing and the more chapters you read, the greater you're engulfed into the plot.
The book holds the love story of Atharva and Meher who encountered each other during their school days. Atharva used to adore Meher discreetly but when Meher came to know about his feelings she too confessed hers with equal affinity. However, school-life love stories are not as rosy as they seem. The irony is that at times the compatibility and maturity levels are so weak among those teens that even a single misunderstanding or parents' pressure is capable enough to break the bond. And the latter eventually turned out to be the reason of their separation.
But as they rightly say, first love is indeed difficult to be forgone and sometimes the entire life passes by but people fail to move on. The same was in the case of Atharva… Although they were not in contact for about 15 years, Atharva’s ethereal love for Meher couldn’t be dimmed. During his childhood, Atharva always aspired to become an IAS Officer and he did join RAW when he grew up. Atharva was sent on a secret mission to Germany where destiny played its stringent role once again and he met Meher again after 15 long years.
There book is quite akin to a roller-coaster ride with innumerable twists and turns that make it seem all the more enigmatic. And the cherry on the cake is that the author masters the art of maintaining the suspense throughout the story. The book speaks about the seven stages of love. The book is not just a mere depiction of crush, relationships and separation, but it aptly reflects elements of thriller too. The writing style of the author is brilliant with a comprehensive flow of writing and the ease to understand.
One of the most intriguing aspects of the book is the way the names have been set for the chapters. They are so damn unique, creative and hold genuine meanings within them. The author has concluded with such poignancy that the book actually left me crying in the last few pages. The plot was so much relatable and connecting that it felt as if Atharva’s character was right in front of my eyes.
I would certainly recommend this book to all those avid readers who opt for a plot that’s thematically out-of-the-box. Despite having love as the central theme of the book, it does hold a mysterious quotient which would be gradually revealed when one turns the pages.
RATING : 5/5
