Introduction:
Book Name: You are My Reason to Smile
Author Name: Arpit Vageria
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Language: English
I was looking for short kindle reads for some light nighttime reading when I came across “ You are My Reason to Smile”.
The title is one of those cheesy ones which are meant to capture and captivate but honestly, over the last couple of years, I have grown weary of such titles. They are just there to sell; the context or meaning doesn’t matter. So, it was not the title that drew me but the cover.

About the Book:

His true calling is somewhere past the walls of a corporate cubicle – Writing. It takes him a lot of deliberation to finally take a leap and leave his job to dedicate all of himself towards writing. While Ranbir struggles to find the balance in everything, Adah somehow drifts away from him. This eventually makes Ranbir ask himself whether it was love?

Though there are a couple of subplots in the book which manage to keep the reader’s interest, there is still a lot to be desired.
There are multiple loose ends and the plot lacks finishing touches. A little more effort, I believe, would have done wonders to the book overall. The main characters of the book are interesting to read about. I hated Adah and pitied Ranbir and this according to me is a measure of how good a book’s characters are.
If a character can evoke feelings in you, then it has done its job. There were again certain things that could have been better.
My view:
I did not enjoy the author’s writing style. It needs a lot more polishing. There were many instances when the narration seemed off, abrupt, and even at times, rushed. There were grammatical errors and editing mistakes that could have been avoided but were not. “ You are My Reason to Smile” lacks a good narration style.
There were times when I just wanted to quit reading the book because it sounded quite mediocre for my taste but I am just glad that I didn’t because the climax was worth sticking around. I am glad that I got through it because there is a surprise element that I bet no reader would be able to predict.
People who are looking for simple reads, an easy story, and easy language can read it. Also, people who are just starting to get into English literature can read this book. People fond of love stories can also give it a try.
If you are a seasoned reader, “ You are My Reason to Smile” is not for you.
My rating for the book is 3/5
You can easily find this book on Amazon: You are my reason to smile
