Book Review: Trending in Love

Writing a story based on love is more or less a common thing these days. But what makes the difference is how it is narrated and what are the other aspects the author attempts to cover. On the first reading of the title "Trending in Love" in love by Pankaj Dubey, the book seems merely a plain love story. Only on reading, the reader finds out characters which are much closer to life, the problems and tough decisions that the characters have to make and most importantly, the issue of religion which pervades in the heart and soul of Indian land. These aspects make the novel much more realistic and closer to life.

The other impressive feature is the pace at which the story is narrated. The narration is perhaps the strongest aspect wherein the author keeps shuttling from one city to the other and yet makes sure the reader is with him throughout. The reader never loses track of what is happening nor does he get bored for a moment throughout reading. "Trending in Love" is not just an ordinary love story but a juxtaposition of emotions, challenges and nail-biting uncertainty that holds the reader till the end.
