A Million Times Over by Shuchi Batra | Book review

 Book review:

 "A Million Times Over" is a triumph of artistic expression that seamlessly merges poetry and prose to deliver a poignant and unforgettable tale.  The poetry allows for a deeper exploration of their thoughts and feelings, creating an intimate connection between the characters and the audience.

The story is a saga of romance which took place between two college students, Siddhartha and Sia. Sia was Siddhartha's crush and after a few month's of friendship she also started feeling something for Siddhartha and came into a relationship. But do love stories are really real or a hope of being real?

Poetic verse that touched me a lot :

💗Will you be my forever

and make me your life?

she said ‘yes, for sure

you feel like home,

and that’s more than enough

for me to survive’

💗 It is so painful when you realize that your dream love story will always remain in your dreams

The author skillfully captures the essence of love, taking readers on a heartfelt journey through the lives of the characters. His skillful use of language shines through as she crafts verses that mirror the ebb and flow of love, betrayal, creation, and realization in Sia and Sidharth's journey. The language used in the novel is rich and evocative, painting vivid pictures of the settings and emotions that the characters go through.

Overall, the book examines the complexity of love, relationships, and self-discovery. A heart touching poetry that leads the reader towards self discovery and love yourself first than anyone else. Worth reading, do grab it!
