Hello Booklovers.
I am back with another review/
The book for today is, "THE VOICE OF SILENCE" by Rishaj Dubey.
Blurb:
"Bestselling author and a 'diagnosed psychopath' Aarav
Roy has gone missing"
Four years ago.
Aarav is not a normal college kid. From a blurry, abusive childhood, to his severe anxiety and the horrible voices in his head, he is fed up with life. Driven by the belief that his past is everything that defines him, he ended up posting his suicide note online. But, the kind of silence he fantasized never came true.
Nikita, who suffered from PTSD and depression, sees her own tragic secrets reflected in him, and she is not going to let the past repeat itself-no matter the cost.
Where is the controversial writer? Who is she? Who does she remind Aarav so much of? What are the voices in his head? And how much hate can love fuel?
In his debut novel, Rishaj Dubey explores the depths of trauma, corruption, loneliness and what is it like to suffocate in your own breath.

My review:
1. Cover:
The cover of the book is really beautiful and appropriate.
2. Title:
The title of the book again goes with the book and the reader can guess the plot just be reading the title.
3. Characters:
The protagonist, Aarav, has had a disturbed childhood and is now confused
between living or dying.
People come in his life, pity for him, and go away.
But, Ashish, his best friend stays. In the story, Ashish is
shown as a friend who is by Aarav’s side forever.
Nikita, a sweet and simple girl, is also suffering from
depression and she’s also had a disturbing past.
Arza, Nikita’s brother is shown as a possessive brother.
Tari, Dristi, Nikita, Aarav, Arza, Ashish, make a group of
friends.
4. Plot:
The story consists of emotions like sadness, true love,
friendship, hatred, fear, etc. And they are portrayed beautifully.
The plot is confusing sometimes because of the mix up of the
past as well as present situations.
The Author has well thought about the story before actually
writing it.
Thorough research has also been done before actually writing
the plot.
The disturbed childhood is shown very well and the reader can
actually visualize things happening in front of him while reading.
New readers can find it difficult to cope with the pace as
well as the mix up of the present and past story of the characters.
It is a must read for everyone, be it a new reader or an old
one.
A person can get to know the actual situation of a person who
is going through depression/ a disorder or any mental disease.
My rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars
