The Part I Left With You (Author Signed Edition)

Ratna, a fangirl we can all relate to, thinks that all her dreams and aspirations have come true when she gets the opportunity to meet her favourite author, whom she also considers to be the love of her life, Ronit Sukhdev. She starts making fantasies of having an epic love story with him but can that come to be? Heartbroken after his last breakup with Nitasha, which turned Ronit's entire world upside down, he has extremely twisted ideas about love and life. Nitasha, the girl who left him, is still not satisfied after escaping her toxic relationship with Ronit, despite finding a man as perfect as can be in her boss, Vikas. Her past plagues her even as she embarks on a journey of self-discovery. What will become of this girl who fancies herself in love with a man who thinks that the entire concept of love is just a hoax and a woman who can't get thoughts of her past relationship out of her mind, even as she explores a new one?The author has worked with a very fresh and unique concept of 'falling out of love' in this novel. He stresses on the importance of discovering oneself and instead of seeking love and validation from an external source, he urges his readers to make one's work the center of their life, the thing that nourishes and sustains them. Humorous and refreshing, compiled with many philosophical thoughts, I admire the idea of love and individuality that the author has introduced in this novel and the way he has built up on the same. Probably contradictory to popular opinion, I was satisfied with the ending given to all characters because it was unconventional and real.The dual perspective of Nitasha and Ratna was so contrasting that it really lent a richness to the entire novel. For Ratna, love is something new, hopeful and exciting, while for Nitasha, the true meaning of love lies in feeling comfortable with someone and finding yourself with them. All the characters were sassy but friendly(mostly), if that makes sense and all of them had an unpredictability that I admire. I think the author has based the character of Ronit on himself to some extent, if not entirely, and used that character as the voice to convey his thoughts and I feel his targeted audience was mostly people who believe in the fantastical concept of 'happily ever after.'Set in Delhi, the author has narrated this story smoothly and using a lucid language. The flashbacks he has included from both Ratna and Nitasha's perspectives really help gain an insight into the character of all the three primary characters.All in all, the 'Part I Left With You' has a very new take on love, a take I found highly interesting and it's recommended on my part to everyone.
