BOOK REVIEW:

"ARE YOU MAGIC? OR AM I A TRICK?", debut work of Arpita Chipkar takes you on a ride of a modern fairy tale where a girl, Tanya Bhosle, imagines a prince charming in her book and later finds him standing in real life in front of her as Mihir Singh Rajput. Now everything that is left in her life is magic and mystery that only can be solved through her own book.

Arpita Chipkar has done great work with her narration part. The language of the book is having the ‘magic’ to hold the reader till the very end of the story. Once you start to connect with the story, there’s no way back. Both the lead characters of the book are portrayed with excellence. Characterization is another forte of this book. It was actually very hard to choose my personal favorite from the two characters but yes Mihir was actually a man to fall for (*Wink*).

There was one thing that I felt was not up to the mark of satisfaction and was storyline. I think that the story could have been better. The concept and the plot of the book, deserves to have a good storyline but it falls a bit flat at the end. Though I am not disappointed because the other things compensate the loss in the reading experience.


I’ll rate this book 4/5 because of the excellent narration and characterization.
