My ratings: ☆☆☆
Being a Durjoy Datta fan I was really anticipated about the release of this book. Durjoy Datta is one of the young Indian authors & has already written and published 12 books. "Our Impossible Love" being the latest. In his every book, Durjoy has portray a different kind of love story. Every reader in India is really smitten by this dimpled author. He has a charm in his writing to sway the readers.
In his latest book he has beautifully explained the problems of a seventeen year old 'Aisha Paul'. With Aisha, the story covers other characters such as Sarthak Paul (her brother) and Danish Roy (her counseller at school). The twist in the tail comes when the reader realizes that Sarthak is a gay. Aisha, in the whole story is finding a way to be her own kind of a woman. She faces certain problems at school and even in her love life when her own boyfriend sexually assaults her on her birthday night. During this, her school counseller Danish Roy helps her overcome these fears and helps her to fight the demons of her past. Within this course of time, Danish falls in love with Aisha. Later, Aisha too realizes her love for Danish and the story ends on a happy note.
However, personally, I did not find the book extraordinary. It is average when compared to other Durjoy Datta books. The book was sexualized which according to me wasn't necessary. But on the whole, it was a happy ride. If you are looking for a light read, I'd surely recommend you to pick it up.
The book cover feels awesome!
