                                                My Review

The Justified Sin is a story which revolves around a boy name ,Jaydeep . Jay fall in love but feared to accept his feelings and tag it as  ‘  love ‘ . A story about an ordinary boy who somehow walked towards the dead ends and started living a life of regression , despondency , mistakes who he called and thought ‘ sin ‘ . When Jay hopes for the best he faces the worst . It is a story which will make you to wander into his world and which will compel you to do the calculations of wanting to know more about him and his life .

The author ,HarpreetMakkar has done a great job from choosing up the most appropriate title to the catchy book cover to the story line . But my take , I truly believed the story justified it’s title . Hence , it kept me hook till the last . The urge of knowing the sin made by the protagonist was the trademark of the book . Not only the story but the characters were also good .

From the book , the three characters left the impression on my mind and I loved them the most . Jay , the Punjabi guy ; brought up in an affluent family still very down to earth. He reflects all the emotions which one boy have and go through .  Jay somewhere changed my perception regarding boys but still somewhere I felt disappointed by his acts like being baffled when he knows he could have made the situation a better one . The second one ,Saloni ; she is not a girl whom you should fall once but daily . Mark my word ‘ daily ‘ . She was a strong character gripping the entire thread , as a best friend , as a person you will always count on . Lastly , Jay’s father ; indeed a true gentleman and a good father .

The overall story was good but it got disdain in the initial pages but still it hooked me till the last . It let me do a lot of mental wok from the beginning to the ending . You will be flummoxed but the climax will be flabbergasted .

If you ask me personally the most beautiful part of the story , I would tell you the relationship shared between Jay and his father . It was a lyrical , these two were so synchronized ; that I felt the author has portrayed his bonding with his father into this lovely tale . I feel connected to this very part .

The rhythm of the book was simple as well as the language was simple and readable . As I flipped the pages the book send me positive vibes , the love of family , love of friends and feeling of being together with that very friend and yes it made me believe in love again . Love will simple follow you , you just have to listen to your heart .

In spite of all , I felt there were few sections which could have been worked out in a more better way . Author have kept it in his mind to make the book understandable but still he could have tried more crispy language .

If you think you’re so just unlucky to have your loved one in our life , I would recommend this book to you ; the lost faith can be regained .  Girls , if you think all boys are same , then read this book ; trust me some boys do feel and live in a life of guilt .

I rate this book a 3.5 out of 5 . I am thankful to know about the importance of everything in our life  .
