A Drop of You by Krishna Chhetri

Do you like love stories ? Which one is your favourite ? Last year I read Eleven Minutes by Paolo Coelho . That was more thought oriented so I liked it . Other than that love stories are not my thing  😛.⁣ Book Review : ⁣ ⁣ ________________⁣ ⁣ ⁣ "Ghazal, she smiled, ah-huh! So did my heart! Oh! I was enamoured by her smile and was miserably drunk and lost in her eyes. Ah! Ghazal, she is not easy nor is she an ordinary woman. She is a woman who wears a makeup of simplicity concealing the hidden wildness of passion within. She vomits sarcasm, flaunts bitterness like a prized possession but holds an undying faithfulness filled with oneness for the one and the only she would say yes to." These lines are nice and catchy to describe a woman by a man who is enamoured by her smile. ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ Now coming to the actual plot , it is light read ,  fully revolving around romance , relationships and complexities that grow when there is a love triangle involved . I like lov...
