3.0 out of 5 starsthen Lost in Love by Arvind Parashar is your go-to book

If you are simply not looking for a normal story and need something with a twist, then Lost in Love by Arvind Parashar is your go-to book.
This is the second book of a trilogy and sheds light on the beautiful relation of Neil and Gauri. But this is not a run-of-the-mill love story. Thanks to the she-villain Arya! Apart from the various emotions such as love, jealousy, anger, revenge, possessiveness etc., this story also highlights the serious issues of drug usage and rash driving.
Things in the story happen when you least expect them. Arvind Parashar has tried his best to keep the writing like a screenplay of a suspense thriller movie. Though I felt it could have been better. The ending of the amazing relationship between Neil and Gauri was a real shock. Though it never actually ended. They were always meant to be. And the after effects of being apart from Gauri on Neil were too painful. The story is also beautifully weaved around the friendships that are actually very important in all of our lives. The way the best friends of the protagonists stick with their besties through thick and thin is really inspiring.
The use of various hindi phrases in between helps you connect with the characters of the story and also helps better understand their individual personality.
Though one may think it to be a rare story, it can actually happen to anyone and that is why it becomes so relatable. Plus, it is a happy ending which I always prefer.
