It Started With a Friend Request by Sudeep Nagarkar
2.0
it was a really TIRING process to finish this book. Firstly, this book is way too cheesy! every page has its cheesiness, and I just hated that, I found my self cringing most of the time when expression like "mere Jaan", "My Mickey", "My Minnie, my hottie, my cutie," were ALL OVER THIS BOOK!! and I screamed that this was way too much cheese and cringe that I can bear. This is Bollywood overloaded! initially I thought of giving this book a 1 Star cause the plot was very draggy, very cheesy and very irritating. what could have been finished in 100 pages, wasted a hundred pages more to complete!
Now, the reason I gave a 2 star is because I kind of liked the twist in the tale and that really got me into the book finally, and basically the climax is the only part that I paid great attention while reading. that's all.
I hate the female character Aleesha cause she may put Megan Fox to shame with her brains and body (according to Akash) but she is so damn irritating and annoying! With all her brains, she cannot figure out who is lying and who is telling the truth, she jumps into her own decisions and belief and starts a huge fire! She really needs to look at both sides of the coin! Otherwise, her little 'happy lovely Mickey-Minnie' world is not gonna last long!
If the story wasn't so draggy, wasn't so Hinglish type writing, wasn't so full of cheesy dialogues, and right after uncovering the truth, if the two protagonists did not make out then and there, I think I would have enjoyed the novel. The only reason I read a Modern Day Teen novel was because I actually liked Sudeep Nagarkar's "Sorry You're Not My Type". After that book, this book is a HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT!!
