Something I never told you is a sweet love story revolves around a guy named Raunak Dhodhi and Adira kapoor. Ronnie aka Raunak fell in love with Adira on her first sight, when she came to Ronnie’s grandmother’s house to live as pg. but being shy and timid Ronnie couldn’t ever made any move on Adira. He continued his saga of one sided love for her for years until life gave him another chance.

He met Adira once again in his office where he came to know that Adira has joined there as new trainee. Adira being fully unaware of his feelings towards her remain busy on her life. But Ronnie was still deeply in love with her even after meeting her two years later. And that time a golden opportunity came to his life company sent him and Adira to Australia for a business purpose along with few more employees.

Where Raunak boss rajbir saw how Raunak looks at Adira and decides to help Raunak to win Adira’s heart. To know whether Raunak be able to win Adira’s heart or why did rajbir is being so helpful to Raunak you have to read the story.

i feel like this could've been written in a better way; the ending, the starting, the middle. It could've been more impactful but some parts of it were cute?? a lot were cliche- i mean definitely not a book which is gonna stay with me but it was okay meh
*an advise: Indian authors are not what u should look for if you wanna read a romance*

Review: This love story is beautiful and show the way of Punjabi wedding, ritual, there short temperament, the family who want them married as soon as possible the adrenaline rush, the goofiness they show around girl, the introvert and shy when they don't know the person and the monster when they open up, the drinking and obsession to living with abroad and owning a business its in blood of every Punjabi regardless of caste, creed, religion, and there reckless driving and death on roads today in north India is in greater no.
The observation of the author is good, presenting the plot and managing Characters mood from time to time is great, the cover is colour as the story is too. And mentorship of Ravinder Singh is good on this, as his "will you still love me" has common satirical and moral theme.
P.s. i was about to mention that book is what similar theme to Ravinder singh book but you mentioned in acknowledgement thats make it appropriate. It was lovely experience reading it

'Something I Never Told You' is a short and sweet love story. The plot is very simple and to some extent clichéd as well. The protagonist Raunak, who is head over heels in love with Adira. He has deep feelings for her but failed to express his love for her. His love is left unrequited as it is unexpressed. The whole story goes on about how much he loves Adira but is unable to confess his love. I found this a bit boring. It was the repetition of the same 'one-sided love saga', where the protagonist is hopelessly in love with an extremely beautiful girl who seems to be way out of his league. The guy still struggles with his deep feelings but cannot express.

The author has developed each the characters really well. Each of them has a unique personality. They might seem to be relatable to some people. The sequence of the story is another aspect in which the author has done a commendable job. The narrative was quite easy and simple. However, there were a few grammatical errors in the story. The story needs very careful editing.

Altogether, 'Something I Never Told You' by Shravya Bhinder is a light read. To all the romantic-fiction lovers, you can give this book a read. You may enjoy it.

Raunak a boy who is madly in love with a girl but didn't has the courage to express his love. This one sided love take 3 years to come in light and his dream girl become his real love in life.
But the destiny has planned something different for them.
Beautiful story with a heartbreaking ending.

"Love dies when you stop working on it"

Something I never told you is the story of Raunak, who falls in love with Adira, when she comes to live in his Nani's home. Raunak is first Shy in admitting that he loves Adira, but is surprised when she reciprocates his feelings. But his happiness does not stay long as anger, jealousy and ego starts destroying their relationship.

What I liked :

The author has a good writing style, the language is simple and easy to read.

There are some beautiful lines and quotes that I liked.

The whole story is written in a way that you know the character is now regretting his mistakes and all the things he has never done.

Adira's character, even though the story is narrated by Raunak, I liked her more.

What I disliked :

The book is too draggy, very slow and not at all interesting in the beginning. Like Raunak doesn't even talk to Adira till 70 something pages.

The story failed to keep me interested, as there was nothing much happening in the story, except in the end.

Initially I liked Raunak's character but towards the end I didn't really agreed with him.
