Review-
Majority of the problems in India happen because of CASTE. Caste difference is the major crux of the novel. But it is revealed only at the end of the novel. I would call the text manipulative as while reading the book, not even a single reader would have expected the entry of caste into the plot.
'Messed up! But All For Love ' is a tale of two lovers-Gauri and Neil, along with their mysterious set of friends- Tom, Jerry, James, Mehr, and Antriksha. While reading the description at the back cover, Tom and Jerry reminded me of the famous cartoon series -Tom and Jerry. It in a way made me read some random pages of the novel, to check if it is about the series. Funny, isn't it? If you also curious about knowing the same, then read the book.
The book begins with a prologue which in a way reveals the upcoming story. Only a reader needs to do is to reach that story. For me, first few chapters seemed quite boring. It is only the last few chapters which grabbed my attention and didn't let me stop reading. This is because romance fiction is not my taste. I am used to reading fantasy and live in the world of my imagination. So, this read proved to be quite challenging for me.
The story is narrated through Neil's mouth. We see him suffering throughout the novel, all because of his love for Gauri. Readers can connect through his words. For instance, I can connect very well through these lines -" there are rare moments in life when you can feel the world had laid down its burden on you. Those times can lead to distorted, disrupted and disillusioned patterns of brain functions. You begin to move away from the truth of life existence."
If romance fiction comes under your taste of reading, then you should definitely give this book a try. This book sets so many friendships, relationships and life goals that you will definitely want to live a life like Neil and his friends. But do not mess up, like Neil, even if it is for love. Trust your love, pray and the process of healing will take on its own.
