Love is like
the truth everyone has their own version, the heart has its own justifications
for love especially the one the world denies. Rihana and Zara had fallen in
love, and they were now each other’s truth.
INTRO
What a thrill to find such a book which comes to you naturally,
you just flow with the words wrapped into emotions. Love Bi the Way is an
unputdownable piece of work. Although it is my second read by Bhaavna Arora.
Past Year, I have enjoyed Mistress of honour, based on the army kids and their
lives. Here I want to state that when in recent times every author comes with
contemporary romance novels, Bhaavna Arora wins the hearts by exploring the
different themes, without lacking the fun of reading.
If I say Love Bi the Way is the LGBT read that would be wrong. Although
theme was based on the love relation shared between two women but it is more
than that.
Love Bi the Way is the story of bondage of human emotions, exploration
of different facets of friendship, societal norms, disheveled morality and
freedom.
STRUCTURE
Basically it is a story of two girls Rihana and Zara. They became roommates by chance and friends by choice but how this bonding leads to make them lover? When I started reading this book, I was amazed to see that both the girls carry different persona, Zara is shy who gets hesitated evertime Rihana cracks a not-so-usual-joke, Zara behaves under societal pressures whereas Rihana was a free chirpy bird, a painter by profession, who takes life as it comes, Rihana has the ability to lighten any serious situation with her indomitable spirit. twist comes into the story when Rihana trying to solve the issues of Zara’s past and helping her get back to life but zara realized that this all-go-happy girl Rihana also has a dismembered past which is more tragic than hers.
Plus there
is a Dog, named Tiger, this story can’t be complete without the presence of
that four-legged angelic character, if you are a pet lover, you instantly feel
the connection.
I loved how Author
Bhaavna Arora weaved the most controversial and unconventional topics with
myriads of punches and humour that makes this book undoubtedly profound. It stirred up the soul as well as
entertaining.
NARRATION
The best thing about Narration of Love Bi the Way that while
picking up the most controversial topic, story doesn’t categorize anything,
there are child abuse, intimate scenes, a ruffled marriage but author showed
them in such a manner that provide freedom, readers think without any
preconceived notion. Language is so simple, flows in one direction, you don’t
want to stop. If you going to spend a lovely weekend with a book, You can
consider this gorgeously queer piece.
READER’s MOMENT
How can you
give happiness if your account is empty? I know your life has been chaotic, but
chaos also takes a concrete form at some point and that form can be divine and
evil. It is up to you to choose, according to me the most powerful weapon to
end a war is forgiveness. The human mind is a wonderful thing; it forgets pain
after some time.
Loyalty is
the rarest yet the most desired virtue in a relationship and I believe that
there is something drastically wrong with one’s character if opportunity
controls your loyalty
When a heart
seeks love, the world cannot stop it, as no higher principle should govern it.
Many a time
you start blaming yourself for the things that didn’t go right with you and you
end up fighting with your own self, in such a scenario, external help has its
limitations, she need more internal motivation , a chunk of her has been taken
away by the incidents in her life.
You can only
be alive in every moment when you are living on the edge.
