The Bounce Back

 

Hey Folks,

It's been a long time. Since the last time I wrote, a lot has happened which kind of put me off track from writing these snippets and my all-time favorite activity "reading". But, as the saying goes "better late than never", right? A small sneak-peek on the wearing off, I came in a fair good contact with a chaotic but happy working system. I landed a job with an awesome human being and a great mentor. And not to mention, my wonderful teammates. I know what you guys are thinking, come on, work and happiness, who are you kidding? But, trust me it is the passion project I always wanted to do. So, in the process of getting into the grind, I had far less time to dedicate to this. Anyway, I'm planning to continue and make time for this and hope this to be there for the long haul.

Coming onto the book that I read recently, it was nothing but a light-hearted one which I apparently ordered half asleep. The order got placed and I knew about it when I got the alert that it is out for delivery. Thanks to the Amazon Pay balance put in by my amazing friends (put in more money please...pretty please!!!!). 

"Fangirl" by Rainbow Rowell is nothing but a soothing wind. There are no outward twists or turns but a glide through over the life of the protagonist Cather or aka Cath. Cath is a reserved young girl who is shadowed by her extrovert twin and has recently changed cities for pursuing her university dreams. She is an ardent fan-fiction writer ( never knew that was a thing... read the book to understand what it is!). The story goes on with the ups and downs and so on. The book is a quick read as the writing is so clean. The genre is a typical girl-boy teenage romance, so there is not much to expect through it. But, the characters are well-identified and there is a lot of effort taken tuning them so that it is an easy-breezy read. The major attraction of the book is that it's a combination of two books. As in, the story has another story within, which was quite an innovative take. It was a fine line of screwing up but Rowell did a great job in spinning it off well.

Pick this book up to clear off your literary dry spell. 

P.S. A special mention to those lovely beings who pushed me to write. Love you much.

Tata-uh!

Regards,

A.
