Review: Palomino

Author - Danielle Steel
Genre - Romance
No. of Pages - 323
Year of Publication - 1981
Rating - ❤️❤️❤️❤️
This book is certainly an underrated piece of literature. I picked up this book from the book fair just by reading the blurb at the back of it. I hadn't even heard much of the author before but it felt like the book was asking me to read it and I couldn't deny. It was my first Danielle Steel book and I became her fan after reading it. Despite being a romance fiction it was packed with twists and turns which I didn't see coming.

Samantha Taylor is devastated when her husband cheats on her for another woman who can give him something that Sam could never give, a child. Samantha is engulfed by the pain and the sense of being imperfect and less than another woman for whom her husband has left her.

 Her face is ashen, she does all her work but without her heart put in anything. Her friends and co-workers understand her pain and agony but they can't do anything to make her feel better. The agency gives her a four month vacation to rejuvenate herself and get over things.

 A hard working professional ends up on a ranch but it's for the good. She meets a man who can tame any horse on the ranch and enters a world or pure, eternal love.

The book doesn't end at this point. It is the point where it begins, that's the beauty of it. You will find yourself laughing, crying and even at some points, gaping at the words, trying to absorb the happenings.

 It won't be wrong if I say that it was "thrilling" at some points, unpredictable. I googled 'best books by Danielle Steel' and it wasn't even in the top 20. Such a shame. I admit that I haven't read much of her books but this one is surely an awesome book which deserves praise. If you are a Danielle Steel fan and haven't read this book yet, drop everything else and go read it! Thank me later.

Review: All The Bright Places

Author - Jennifer Niven Genre - Young Adult/Romance No. of Pages - 400 Year of Publication - 2015 Rating - ❤️❤️❤️ Recently, I read this YA novel and it was a good read. Instead of being just a young-adult novel, it gives you a sneak peek into the depth and seriousness of the mental illness the protagonist, Theodore Finch faces. He is portrayed as a complete 'freak' as called by his schoolmates. But no one knows about the damage that has occurred inside his brain, his body, and above all inside his soul. Violet Markey is an outgoing, carefree, ambitious and adventurous person until one evening. The evening when she loses her sister in a car accident, and nothing is same for her again. She blames herself for the accident and every small thing like someone's laugh or someone's eyes remind her of her sister Eleanor.  They meet at the top of school bell tower and their lives are no more the same. Violet learns how important it is to live life at the moment r...

Review: Safe Haven

Author - Nicholas Sparks Genre - Romance No. of Pages - 432 Year of Publication - 2011 Rating - ❤️❤️❤️ After reading The Notebook , I had high expectations from any other Sparks' book. I wouldn't say that I didn't like this book. All in all it was an okay read. I liked Erin's character a lot. She is portrayed as an independent and brave woman and yes, intelligent too. Alex is a decent character who showcases the idealistic image of a single father who loves and cares for his children more than anything else in the world. And lastly, Kevin, who would like him when he is the self proclaimed villain? I guess no one. Erin moves to Southport, North Carolina after fleeing from her husband, Kevin's house. Erin fell in love with Kevin and they got married but just after a few years of marriage, Erin discovered how obsessed he is with himself and how he wants total control over her moves and her life.  She felt suffocated in his house. She wasn't even al...
