Hey hey hey!!!!

I am back with another review!!

For today, it is the book "Roadtrip" By Meghasi Bhatt

Blurb:

Manini is busy with her routine life when her cousin Reema asks her to accompany her on a road trip from their hometown Ahmedabad to Manali. Manini accepts her cousin’s invitation, looking forward to a break from her daily routine. She also invites two of her friends Viha and Khushi to join them. The four women embark on their road trip, unfamiliar with each other, unknown to the many adventures awaiting them. However, differences crop up between Reema and Khushi as soon as they lay eyes on each other, both being very different personalities. Moreover, all four women are struggling with significant personal issues and troubles which they initially try to conceal from the others. Will they be able to have a fruitful and enjoyable vacation? Will all four women manage to overcome their personal difficulties and find contentment and happiness? With the emotional baggage they are carrying with them, stop them from opening up their hearts to new experiences, new friends and new lives?

My review:

Narration style is good.

The plot is good but not a unique one.

I’ve always been fascinated by Road trips and all the stories people share and the relationship between everyone which gets better and hence, thought of reading this book.

The language used is simple.

Each girl in the story has a different set of problems and another set of solutions with them.

You’ll see the relationship between friends, cat fights, jealousy, happiness in this story.

A very much relatable story for every woman.

Do give it a read.

My ratings: 3.5 out of 5 stars.

Tell me something, didn’t you smile last night when your whole family was with you last night, enjoying dinner and watching TV while talking about your childhood memories they cherish till date?

Didn’t you cry when you thought about the fact that there might be a few years left for you to live wi...
