Forbidden by Tabitha Suzuma
5.0
Side note: I had been struggling to finish this book for more than 3 months. It's today that I got to finish the last 6 chapters of this book.
Tabitha Suzuma I really have no words to express how much my soul cried at the end. The writing style was really good, apt use of words for describing all the emotional tornado in the characters' minds and hearts. And I was just sucked in! The story is very very different and extremely tragic. This is the first book I've ever read with such a special relationship set in the most troubling background of modern days. I wish I had a physical copy of this book rather than a digital copy. But I think I'm quite lucky to give this book a chance, thanks to the recommendation from my dear friend.
Love has no boundary, no generalization, no hard and fast rule, no society, no system, no obligation, no holding back, no nationality, and it happens all too sudden in it's most purest form. That is real love. Most couples take all kinds of affectionate romantic gestures for granted; their liaisons are looked upon with a mixture of awe and envy by other single people. Sometimes these couples don't even last for more than a few weeks or months at the most. But when someone or some people are truly in love, deeply in love, madly in love-their beings are the fibers of each others' existence-why can't they show their affection to the whole world without hiding? without secrecy? without fear? without being vigil of their surroundings that they are being watched? the fear of being caught since it's "against the law"? This should not be, but society does not allow cause it's so blinded by generalization. It's actually so very sad to see the two people/characters in this book regardless of what their relation is to the public eye be, is not allowed to love; it's seen as a crime-a serious crime and to save one another, the other has to take a very crucial step....
The characters became so very alive in my eyes! It took me some time after finishing the book, to realize that it was pure fiction.
This book isn't just about love in it's truest form though, it's much more-family, sibling, parenting, school, and protecting your loved ones...and just add the word "trouble" at the end of all the above mentioned topics, and that's what it's really about. It's a very beautiful book, I cannot explain in words. I've never read any book, and Forbidden is my first, about love between a brother and a sister, I loved it so freaking much, that I'm so depressed with the ending. I had become so into that world that Lochan and Maya became real people in my eyes and their suffering just broke my heart. Many will find this disgusting, sick and probably twisting (I didn't to be very honest) and if you do, then please restrain form reading but that does not mean that the books is bad! The book is really well written!
