SHE STOOD BY ME

"She Stood By Me" by Tarun Vikash captivated me from the very first page. Vikash's storytelling is compelling, bringing the characters to life in a way that feels deeply personal and authentic. The protagonist’s journey is both heartwarming and heart-wrenching, and I found myself rooting for them throughout the book. The emotional depth and the realistic portrayal of relationships kept me engaged, making it difficult to put the book down.While the plot had moments that were somewhat predictable, the richness of the characters and the authenticity of their experiences more than made up for it. Vikash's writing style is vivid and descriptive, making it easy to visualize the scenes and immerse myself in the story.It’s a book I would highly recommend to anyone who enjoys a heartfelt and emotionally charged read.

I am happy that I came across this book🤗 Sucha a cute love story and the way they stick together till the end and supported each other by overcoming all hurdles was too good... Thanks Tarun for giving us such a cute love story😊❤️

She stood by me, a story so cute and natural. A story of almost everyone of us.There are lots of thing I want to say about this book. Both pros and cons.Let's start with pros.The story takes place in Bihar, the place where I belongs to. So, it gave me small nostalgic feeling while reading some of the parts and places.The story is basically about two main characters. Abhishek and Apnara. Their lovestory that take place from the time they first met during their IIT entrance exam in Dhanbad.Abhishek instantly fell in love with Aparna the first time he saw her.They became good friends from that time to the point of lovers.It was such a cute journey, to read them confess their love for each other. They were not perfect couples. They argue a lot. Abhi was very shy, insecure kind of guy and Apu is very stubborn. What a match.I liked th ups and downs of their relationship. Their long distance struggles. The problems they had to face to get married (because of different castes) but the ending, it was kind of unexpected but in a good way.It was a simple light read if you are into cute love stories, easy language and flowing. Specially if you are beginner reader. You can actually feel connected to the characters of the story. Abhi was very expressive.Now, The cons.As I have read quite a few books, actually lot of books, it was very simple for me. There were few grammatical mistakes, and paragraph problems. But that's okay. It was authors debut book and I know if I would want to publish my first ever book it will be way worst than this one. So, I would ignore this one.Abhi was little bit dramatic for me. There are few of his choices that made me so mad at him. But I guess, that how most of us are these days. Always insecure of what we have.I normally don't read love stories but I decided to give it a go. Basically because of the location of the story, and I think I don't regret reading it.

Done with the first book of 2024It was really an amazing book✨The way he narrated the love between them is something amazing n they truly love each other in their toughest times🫶🏻Today its really difficult to find this kinda love, such an amazing book it is ♥️ every page reminds me of something, I’ve literally cried while reading it🥹 it made me believe that no matter what when someone truly loves they are ready to loose anything for you💫

I read a book "she stood by me" I'm so overwhelmed by this one , it's a masterpiece the way Abhisekh and aparna stood for each other and make it possible there long distance 💞 it's just so good and narration was on point .. I never read a romantic story I'm always fan of Murder mystery thriller but this I saw in some insta post and read it and it's worth it,

Love can compel people to do things they would never do otherwise. It has the strength to change people for the better and the worst depending on who you are with.She Stood By Me is a fiction of an Indian couple who madly love each other. There is drama, there are sentiments and then there is so much of devotion. That's the beauty of any relationship that you go through ups and downs but still, you glue to each other and that's when you know that you are with the right person.Aparna is a young lady with ambitions in her eyes. She resides with her moralities which were bestowed by her family. She has no interest in love and is only focused on making a livelihood for herself. Will she fall in love with someone and if yes, then what will exactly happen in her life?Abhi is a young and shy man who wants to have a profitable career but also wishes to have a love of his life. He believes in living in the present and one day his life shifts completely when he meets Aparna. He adores her so much but because of his introversion, he fails to communicate his love to her. Will he be able to do that ever in his life or will he just sit and admire Aparna?Every relationship has its problems. You can't have a connection with anyone where everything is incredible every time. You have to go through worst to withstand the promising days of your life. Similar things happen when Aparna and Abhi meet. They go through a bunch of things, they fight together but will they choose to stick together or will one of them just run away and move on from all of this?As the book is set in India, it delivers an Indian touch to everything. Mostly the book is quoted in the form of conversations and it felt a bit fatiguing after some time. Few things could be omitted and improved in the narration. One more thing which did not work for me was some clichéd storylines which every Indian romance novel uses. I was looking for some more depth in the story rather than a shallow plot.From the cover, I had great expectations from this book as it is written that "love is not a relationship", which made me think that this book is going to be about that, you don't need to hang around in a relationship if you love someone. You can always love them from a distance or it can be an unrequited love but the story is completely different than what I expected it to be.The writing style of this book is lucid but the narration is exhausting. People who are very new with reading, they may enjoy reading this book but if you have already read so many Romance novels then this book is not for you.Some of the chapters are very long-winded, which felt exhausting to me. Some of the things are exaggerated unnecessarily and they could be prevented with formal editing.I comprehended the message which author was attempting to transmit through his book but I would have relished this book even more if the narration would have been satisfactorily and with some depth of emotions so that it can leave a long-lasting impact on its readers.What more did not work for me in some parts of the book is the cheesy storylines and making the main protagonists look so idiotic at some points in the book. A little more adultness in the characters would have favourably shaped this book.Lastly, I respect the struggles of the author to bring a plot like this because there is something which people should realize and learn from this book.If you feel from my above Review that you would be interested in reading this book, then definitely get it for yourself.

I read book in just 3 days and was worth it at the end !! 💕true love do happenIt’s a good choice if u live romantic novels

This was the most beautiful book about love, friendship and two people always standing beside each other. I felt reading this book with some differences of course I was reliving the last few years of my life. This brought tears to my eyes. Tears of sadness and joy. Tarun you are a rare talent, thank you for sharing your writing and message with the world 🌎❤️🇨🇦🇮🇳

I read this book and i must say that this is my favorite one. It takes you on jolly ride of all feelings of friendship And love . I laughed and cried at the same time and every time was excited to know what’s next . Every chapter unfolds an emotional drama which is beautifully written and conveyed in author’s own style which is unique and rare and makes you become part of characters to believe it. Really a commendable job on author’s side and a must read book for a new and different experience.
