ALL THE PRETTY GIRLS

Hello BookLovers!!

Today, We'll talk about the book "ALL THE PRETTY GIRLS" by SAURABH KUMAR.

BLURB
Like many immigrants, twenty-four-year-old Ifran straddles two worlds. Although he's assimilated to life in the United States, he's still deeply rooted in his Indian culture and Muslim faith. At times he feels like an outsider, but working as a journalist for LA Daily is the perfect opportunity to broaden his horizons. Ifran's first assignment is to interview a woman arrested for showing an anti-Islamic movie at a gay-pride parade.
When he arrives at the prison, Ifran is shocked to learn that the defendant, Jenna, is actually a burgeoning porn star. She insists that she's innocent and that the film promotes same-sex marriage while discussing opposing religious beliefs. Even more surprising is Ifran's fascination with Jenna. He can't help but be intrigued by her confidence and passion for promoting sexual awareness even if he thinks differently.
With more research, Ifran discovers that Jenna uses porn as her platform to convey deeper messages of empowerment and acceptance. It's a unique approach, and he convinces his editors to let him write a full story. As Ifran immerses himself in Jenna's world, however, he soon discovers another side of himself one that may be more open-minded about women and sexuality than he originally thought.

 ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Saurab Kumar was born and raised in India. During his time in the merchant navy as an engineer, he had many opportunities to travel. In 2011, he moved to the United States. Kumar attended the Stella Adler Academy of Acting to pursue his dream of becoming an actor. Eventually, he discovered his true calling: storytelling.
Kumar lives happily in Hawaii with his wife and their newborn daughter.

MY REVIEW
1. COVER
The cover is the first thing you see when you take a book in your hands and the cover of this book is just so beautiful.
I could not start the book for at least an hour just because I was in some other world, it is that beautiful.

A 5 on 5 for the cover.

2. TITLE
I don't think that the title really justifies the plot but, it does a pretty decent job.
3.5 on 5 stars for the title.

3. ABOUT THE BOOK
The story is set in LA.
An Indian Muslim, Ifran, lives there and for his living, he is working in a firm where he needs to complete an assignment.
A girl named Jenna is the person Ifran needs to complete the assignment on.

 They both talk to each other and with time get to know about each other's lives and work.

 Jenna's life and work are the two main things that are highlighted in the whole novel.
It is about the porn industry and how spirituality is related to sex.

 Many of you may differ on this point of both of these things being related.
I would suggest this book to all the people who want to read a book about the life of the people working in the porn industry and the people who think that sex and spirituality are similar in concepts.

RATINGS
4 out of 5 stars.

A self love letter to you, from you, Sunshine :)

Hello Sunshine, How have you been doing these past few days? I know, this is a touché topic to talk about these days but I hope things will get better real soon and we’ll all be able to forget this new normal and will get back to being out older selves with a few changed and better habits that we learned throughout this pandemic. Sunshine, it is not always easy to be our best selves in all the situations but you’ve got to start from a certain point, right? I heard you’ve been thinking that you’re turning into an emotionless being? That you have no idea what you are feeling and why. 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 embrace the wind you felt on your face while riding your scooter? Didn’t it make you smile? Didn’t you cry when you thought about the fact that there might be a few years left for you to live wi...

"The part I left you with" by Rahul Saini

The book goes around two pivots over a significant period of time. This story spins around three characters and manages their view of life and of adoration. This story's method of managing love is very unique to that of the majority of the other Indian love stories. The arrangements with affection as an inclination, love as an overall experience, and dropping out of adoration by and large. Every one of the three characters here goes through an excursion to find their own self and personality over the span of the novel. School life is also explored and I can undoubtedly associate with it. What I noted and loved were those interesting email addresses. The part where Ratna's father and Ratna had a significant conversation about young ladies and what are they fit for filled my heart with joy. I enjoyed the part that Ratna's father played in this entire story and how much love he gives to her. The pieces of Ronit's journal made the book more fascinating to peruse. I understo...
