MY REVIEW
The book is about a boy Nandu, who is in the dental field, and is struggling with his life and feels devastated when his girlfriend betrays him. His friends are his support and one his friend, Sattu, tells him his theory of life that ‘Nice men finish last’ the story goes on, showcasing the ups and downs of nandu in his love life and his career and how both of them affected the other.
The main concept of the book was that being a good and decent person will surely find you love of your life and make you successful, which is a pretty good moral, but I felt that it was overpowered by the other aspects or some incidents.
It could’ve been a lot better and the main theme of the book had a lot of potential. it was pretty fast paced and humorous also!
It was filled with bollywood cliches, just everything, it was a typical bollywood movie, going on in one’s mind, so if you are a fan of them then hopefully you’ll like the book too.

Friendships between characters were very well portrayed and the fact hat as we grow older and get out in the world, everyone we thought we once new changes, our friends have different lives and are busy, we ourselves become busy but amongst all this having and maintaining connections with them all is very important as they are thee people we fall back to and who have been part of a major phase of our lives.
I really like the character of Madhiha and her character plays a very important role in this book and in spreading a very important message also. She is from Pakistan and initially Nandu, being from India resents her just for hr nationality, but then this narrow minded thinking is proved wrong in the book. One of the things I loved about it. Honestly we hate people just fro their nationality! I personally discourage and try to tell my family and friends all the ways in which this is wrong and disadvantageous for humanity and just so so stupid! Just imagine if the 2 nations would forget their rivalry, won’t our lives be much better, the many soldiers lives be spared at the border? Just imagine and think!
Nandu’s father seemed to be pretty sensible and I was hoping the author would elaborate their relationship but it was still okay. Also Tanishq seemed to be a cry baby to me, and the type of girl who acts like a child deliberatelt, so I didn’t like her either.
I honestly hated the book in the beginning. It was just gross, it was offensive for me, being a girl, and I did not like that stuff at all! It felt disgusting to read that and I just wanted to stop reading, but later on the book got to a decent level and was pretty good after that.
One thing I disliked in the story was the first time Nandu saw Tanishq he was in love with her. honestly, its not love in my opinion if you are drooling over a girl or a guy just after seeing them and you don’t know then nor have you both ever talked, buT since you saw her, and found her exceptionally beautiful, were mesmerized by her physical appearance then my friend, let me tell you, its NOT love, it may be lust or infatuation or just your hormones working but NOT LOVE AT ALL! Well, that was me when Nandu was describing her appearance and saying how he loved her soo much after just seeing her.
Also the fact that the friends you have, the company you keep will definitely affect you, was pretty well conveyed. Nandu used to be a ‘nice’ man but then he broke up with his girlfriend Noor in the beginning of the book and his friend Sattu, whom I resent the most, gave him advice which was pretty bad and contributes to mostly all the gross and offensive content in the book with extensive usage of the word- ‘boobs’ and reading that part I was just like- “Seriously man! stOp, just stOp!”
All in all, it reflected Indian love stories and life in a pretty well. The concept of friendship rather than relationship was also good but should’ve been elaborated on a bit more.
If you like reading Romantic fictions with a blend of friendship and life and are looking for a short read then I’d recommend this book to you.
Happy Reading Everyone!
