Too Good To Be True by Prajakta Koli
3.0
Too Good To Be True by Prajakta Koli is feel-good contemporary romance fiction. It is the story of Avani, a law student who is working part-time at a bookstore and romance reader if time permits! And while working at the bookstore she comes across a man straight out of a romance, Aman, the CEO of Raina Textiles. And here starts the drama and you need to read the book to witness it.
If you are a follower of Koli's content creation journey and have seen her sketches, you'll find a lot of similarities in the thinking pattern, inner monologues, dialogues and conversations and even characteristics of the protagonists, especially Avani. And that's her style of representation!
The book was fast-paced and could be easily finished in a day. The interaction between Avani and Aman, though cringe and some moments, was cute. I loved their interactions with their own and each other's family, especially the moments when Avani's Aaji and Aman's mom were there.
The friendship of Avani with Martin, Maya and Rhea was a delight to read and I would have loved to see more of Aman's friendship with Jogi. Also, I would have connected deeper with the characters if their past had been given more time and depth and their conversations had explored it more. The lack of it compromised the emotional depth of their relationship, which if present, could have made it memorable. The story was cliché and cringe at times, but it was enjoyable.
It's the genre of romance that I enjoyed when I was new to reading, and I enjoy reading it now because it was a perfect escape for me between all the work I was in when I started it and provided me with comfort. So if you are looking for a fast-paced, feel-good contemporary romance that can give you all the feels and hearts, you can try it.
