Lost and Found: An almost love story by Rubina Kochar

review by Sunita Saldhana

 

The blurb:

Small town girl, Shefali Tiwari had all the ingredients for success in the corporate world – intelligence, talent, attitude and good looks. Except one. Patience. She wanted to get there NOW!

So she stashed her moral values in a drawer and climbed the corporate ladder leaps and bounds. Life was a dream come true until one eventful night. Now, she’s hated by all and doomed to a social and professional death.

But, in the no-moon night of her life, there is a twinkling star, a secret admirer.

Who is this guy?

Why does he stand by her?

Will his faith help her discover a life free from past, a life full of happiness and most importantly, love?

 

My review

Lost and Found by Rubina Kochar is refreshingly different. The characters have a depth to them that make them very real.  The protagonist, Shefali is very human with a lot of faults. You hate her, you want to comfort her, you cheer for her. The hidden hero adds to the intrigue of the plot and makes you want to continue reading to come to the end, just to find out who he is.

I wondered why the author called it an almost love story. Then I realised that the love story was just a part of the whole plot. The relationships between Shefali and the numerous characters in the book had each their own flavour. 

It’s a good book to read when you want something light, but don’t want a run of the mill romance. I would have given it five stars. The only thing that stopped me was the editing, which could have been better. There were a lot of grammatical mistakes in the book, which could have been avoided.

But still, I am glad I picked it up to read. You can pick it up on here on Amazon. 

Do let me know in the comments how you enjoyed the book.
