The Girl of My Dreams BY Durjoy Datta – Book Review

on
Durjoy Datta, a well-known novelist and most celebrated bestselling author in India. His earlier books made me his fan too like every other girl here in India as he writes mostly romance novels with the magic of words. You cannot deny the influence after reading them. So I decided to read this one too.

As the cover says “How dangerously little you know about love... “, this made a reader more eager about the story. First this first, this is a psychological thriller novel which is totally as genre change for Durjoy as a writer. This made story even more interesting.

The Story: - Novel starts with a dream scene of the protagonist Daman which describes the dangerous accident he had. He lost his muse shreyashi but it’s been a long time and now he has another girl friend avni but suddenly a girl came with the same name of his old girlfriend and claims that she is the one. The main thing is that Daman don’t know how shreyasi look like, so he is more confused. Due to his accident, trauma and injuries, he is suffering from minor amnesia erasing all his memory of the accident. There are many twist and turns in the story. The author is trying to give an unusual story line. As we read more, story comes with the total mad and crazy deeds of this self-claimed girlfriend shreyasi. Dreams about the accident still haunts Daman but he couldn’t remember what had happened that night.
Is she the real shreyasi? If yes, then where she has been? Why has she come now? What she want from him now?
These are all the question which constantly bubbles up in mind while reading this.




My Thoughts: - Madness, love, sex scenes, cuss words, everything is there in the novel which makes it a total metro read. The beginning is super awesome and promising. At one point of time it does give you Goosebumps, but the climax is totally pathetic. I didn’t expect this from Durjoy at all. After reading his earlier books my expectations were really high but I am not impressed with this one.  There are more amazing books he has written already.
 


I am waiting for the next one.
Take care
Love yourself!!!

    oh that's too bad that the ending wasn't worth it. I hate when you are so pumped up for something new your favorite author has written and it doesn't work out.

    Thanks for giving us your honest review. That's always the best. Sometimes books don't measure up to the hype. But there's always another around the corner.

    Thank you for the review. Did you end up liking the character of Shreyasi? She sounds crazy, but sometimes crazy can be pretty cool and make for a fascinating character.

    Love reading books and I will definitely look for Durjoy Dutta's books. I know sometimes an author disappoints us with his work but I am in favour of giving him another chance if you had earlier loved his work. :)
