Book Review : There is Something About You by Yashodhara Lal


Title: There is Something About You
Author: Yashodhara Lal
Genre: Romance
Pages: 268
Source: Kindle Edition
Publisher: Harper Collins
Rating: 4/5


Although it’s third book of Yashodhara Lal but Frankly speaking I never got a chance to read her before. So there was a little doubt if it was some another chick-lit, And when   I heard about the little bits and pieces of this book, It sounded interesting to me and without any delay, I grab a copy. And I’m happy to tell you I enjoyed it.  It is not some classic literary fiction, just plain simple romance.

The story revolves around an over-weight girl, named Trisha. She was in her late twenties and trying to survive in the world where people loved to judge. She worked in a firm related to publication and contented whereas she knew she couldn’t get promotion cause of her physical appearance. And then comes a twist in her life, named Sahil. Sahil was in mid-thirties, a geek kind of boy who believed that he has some superpowers. He can sense someone’s future just to get a little touch. Author weaved a intriguing story between two, there was romance, there was emotions, tantrums and last but not the least acceptance.

Besides of these two, there were some characters like Trisha’s nagging mother and her chess-lover father who was suffering from Alzheimer. Her friend Akanksha and some murder mystery.

If you are staying in metro cities, you can connect with Trisha so easily. The narrative skills of author flow smoothly. You don’t take a chance to put down the book before finished it. Although I found some extra material at the end, little bit tiring to read some extra pages when there was no need to add it. But overall book is interesting; characters are fun loving in their own way. And yes the most beautiful part of the book was letters and their replies. They made me laugh, touching sometimes.

Should I recommend Yashodhara’s work? Of course, Yes! If you want to spend a breezy night with light read. The book is for you.
