Plot summary :

An overview of the plot Two complicated people with emotional scars from their pasts are followed throughout the narrative. To save herself from more suffering, the strong and self-reliant heroine has erected barriers around her heart. The love interest, a seemingly aloof and uncaring person with an enigmatic past, enters. Sparks fly as their worlds converge, and the story develops through a series of sincere exchanges that progressively weaken their defences. The plot's emotional reality is what sets it apart. The difficulties of being vulnerable, the fear of rejection, and the gradual healing process brought about by love and trust are all expertly portrayed by the author. The romance's timing feels natural, letting the characters mature and change as they see fit.

Character Development :

The novel's well-developed characters are one of its strongest points. Readers can identify with the protagonist because of her power and sensitivity.

Even though he comes out as distant at first, the love interest develops into a fascinating character with layers of nuance. The supporting cast gives the story dimension by contributing insightful, humorous, and encouraging moments.

Writing Style :

Rida Khan's work combines incisive debate with lyrical prose. She has a remarkable ability to evoke strong feelings in the reader, allowing them to share in the characters' happiness, sorrow, and victory. An engaging reading experience is produced by the detailed descriptions of the scenery and the inner lives of the characters. However, there are times when the pace slows down because of a lot of contemplation, which some readers may find a little monotonous. Despite this, the story is kept interesting by the writing's poetic brilliance and emotional depth.

Themes and Messages :

The book also discusses self-acceptance, forgiveness, and the value of support networks in overcoming individual challenges. A broad audience may relate to and find significance in the story because of these common elements.

Critiques :

The plot may occasionally seem obvious to some readers, despite the book being an emotional rollercoaster. While some romance cliches, such the "cold-hearted lover who softens," are well-known, Khan injects enough uniqueness to make the narrative interesting. Furthermore, the pacing might have been improved by a more condensed narrative framework.
