| Saya by Subin Bhattarai |
Title: Summer Love
Author: Subin Bhattarai
Genre: love story
Published on: Bhadra, 2071 B.S
Sequel to: Summer Love
We all were curious, and we had our own assumptions. Saya literally returned from Norway to get married, which shows how much she was committed in their relationship. So it is obvious for readers to want to know the truth.
Summer love ended in a cliffhanger and that's why Saya was published to answer readers' questions (as per the description).
Atit shares his part of story in Summer Love whereas multiple characters share their story in Saya, including Saya, Atit, Shushmita and the author himself.
BLURB
After meeting Saya and listening to her story, the author wonders if he can really make up their relationship by clearing doubts and misunderstandings. Hence, a third character from Summer love is reintroduced. The readers will get answers on why the characters did what they did and how the relationship got that complicated.
WHAT I LIKED IN THE BOOK
I liked how all the characters got chance to express themselves and justify their actions. Nobody really wants to accept their mistakes and that increases the tension even more in the story. The character development of Saya is impressive.
She is so different from what we see in Summer Love. Saya struggles with her decisions in most part of the novel. In a society where caste and class system are still deeply rooted, the amount of pressure youths face regarding their love life is clearly portrayed.
WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE
Subin Bhattarai wrote the Summer Love Part 2 but I don't think it was necessary. Summar love was better off being single and alone. It was compelling and interesting that way.
Saya is not as good as the first book. This book attempts to solve the relationship of two love birds (Atit and Saya) by presenting a love triangle and blaming a third character named Sushmita.
I didn't find Saya's perspective convincing enough. She could have avoided a lot of misunderstanding and complications by simply communicating.
Overall, the book is about how bad a relationship can go by miscommunication. But that doesn't mean it's all over. People can fix their problems, forgive each other and start up again if they are in love.
Even if you have read Summer Loveand don't know whether you should read Saya or not then I will say you don't have to read it.
RATING
⭐⭐
I am giving this book two of four stars (2/4) which means I didn't like it but you may like it.
