The Bestseller She Wrote is a combustible cocktail of love, betrayal and redemption.
The Bestseller She Wrote is the first romantic genre book by
Ravi Subramanian who usually has written some exceptionally brilliant banking
based thrillers & since he is a banker himself he knows his stuff but I was
sceptical when I came across this book, can he REALLY pull off a romantic
novel? I will answer this at the end of the review *trying to be a little
mysterious*.
There 2 main characters in this book, Aditya Kapoor &
Shreya Kaushik. Their introduction is as follows, Aditya Kapoor is a successful
banker, a paperback king but also a loving father & husband while Shreya
Kaushik is a young student who is never afraid to speak up her mind & also
the kind of person who will chase her dreams & her dream is to be a
bestselling writer. Their sudden interaction takes place when Aditya Kapoor is
invited to give a speech to the young minds at IIM Bangalore where he studied
himself, he is interrupted by Shreya when he stated novel as a ‘product’ since
according to him it needs very detailed marketing & PR activity just like
other commodities but on the contrary she is puts up a passionate view point
about novels being a part of author’s soul which didn’t stumbled him at all.
This being their first interaction no one can ever guess that this book is
going to be a romantic one but tables turned when Shreya wrote back to Aditya after
reading his books, the excitement & admiration in her words made him go
weak & ultimately he falls for her. He got her selected from campus &
even got her assigned to him which wasn’t difficult at all since the HR Head of
his bank was his best friend.
Aditya also forms an extra marital relationship with Shreya
& helps her to approach a publisher since her work is endorsed by someone
of his stature the publisher readily agrees. But when Aditya’s wife suddenly
gets sick & is on her deathbed he feels guilty of committing adultery &
is adamant about setting things the way they should be. But will it be so easy
to undo what has been already done? And will Shreya’s book get published &
be a bestseller? Buy it to know the answers!! ;)
What I love about this book is the way it’s written, the way
Ravi Subramanian used simple language to write such a beautiful novel is just mind
blowing! It’s so easy to make a connection with the story *except the adultery
part :p * that after some time you might even think that it’s happening in
front of you. Even the characters are so believable that you won’t think of
them as fictitious characters.
This book is of 300+ pages & god only knows that I am a
slow reader but I did finished this one in record time, so to answer the question
in the first paragraph Ravi Subramanian did an amazing writing a romantic novel
but I would also like to add that I would have loved it even more if I would’ve
found the romantic portion a bit more.
