Have a hearty laugh

They were far away. They had been coercively separated. Half a world apart. He was in India, while she in US. Some say that long distance relationships do not work. They knew just one thing: love works. And they possessed just one asset: hope.

It worked for them, even without hearing each other's voice for months, even without seeing each other's face for almost half a year. Six months later, she was coming back to India for just a week. Their excitement touched the pinnacle of joy, in hope that their timeless wait was going to be over the moment they would behold each other's light.

But something happens. Love fails. Hope survives. Or vice- versa? What happens next ?

Ouch! That 'Hearts' by Harsh Snehanshu is a humourous love story between Kanav and Tanya.

The humour is slapstick, the emotions well spun, the plot is kept as tight as possible, and it is refreshing, overall.

A highpoint of the book is the presentation. You never feel like going back one sentence or a paragraph to get what is being currently said; it goes down quite easily.

Whenever there is a possibility that the reader might start getting bored, the author smartly twists and redesigns the scene. The story is all about love and the trials it has to face. The story ends on an incomplete note and author makes way for his third novel in the Trilogy.

The last chapter titled from the next book is the most interesting one.

It will surely make you desperate to read the next one.
