Today’s reader prefers to read about realisttic content which deals with the present day time and situations. Writers also understand this choice and attempt to use their skill in their writing. Akash Verma’s “You Never Know” is one such example. The book reflects on the modern day city culture and at the same time suggests that an emotion as pure as love can not be restricted by age or responsibilities or situations.
The strongest point of the book perhaps is the author’s absence from the narrative and giving control to the characters to take it in the direction they want. This makes the readers more of an audience, making Brecht’s “alienation effect” more stronger. The author or the characters do not justify their actions and leave it completely to the reader’s discretion to decide and think whatever he wants to.
All the above factors alongwith the well constructed plot and characters make the book a fine read for all types of readers.
