๐ฉทBut love has never been that easy to achieve, with certain obstacles and circumstances arises that threaten to tear them apart forever like Siddhartha's dream of attending the prestigious B-school in the USA or Alia's father's disapproval of their relationship. What I really like about this couple is how supportive they are even at the time when the rift caused them to break up which felt like the right person, at the wrong time trope so as the story continues the question of whether their love story get the anticipated happy ending or be permanently torn apart by fate keeps the readers on their toe. This story strengthens my belief that if the person is really the right one for you then even if they had to leave you behind because of the wrong time they will rise above all the obstacles and make the time right.

๐ฉทLike the rose garden is filled with thorns so is in love it hasn't always been merry for everyone but at the end it is worth trying for because even when it breaks you at the times it will heal you fine at the end like that in this book. Their lovestory is an amalgamation of sweet, charming, painful and inspiring spheres of life. Honestly the story felt like a movie with some dramatic cliches that I enjoyed reading it.

๐ฉทOverall this book was an enjoyable contemporary romance book. The narrative was lucid with easy usage of language which also makes it a beginner's friendly read. Nicely plotted story though I wished to see more of the character development in Siddhartha. This story is an epistolary fiction, that is written in a dairy entry format which also includes the poetry- prose style which I found very intriguing to read and I really loved reading the poems. This book was a leisurely one time read that I will recommend to everyone who loves reading contemporary romance or is a beginner in that genre.
