                                                                                Synopsis

“You are not perfect.”

“You are not a complete lady.”

“You are damaged.”

“I cannot marry an imperfect person like you.”

These sentences said by him echoed in her ears. She felt the rush of emotions all over again. 

“Why was there a need to tell him? Couldn’t you keep quiet for some days or at least until engagement ceremony? Can’t you see how much disturbed your father and me are? How much pain do you want us to suffer from?" Her mother shouted.

Why did he say it to her? What did she tell him? Why is her mother shouting at her?

Meet Payal, a girl in her twenties hoping to find love. Will she ever find it?


                                                                        My Review


“You are not perfect”, what actually makes anyone perfect? Is there any definition which can describe any individual? I guess, no. 

Book begins with quoted text which makes me aghast and disappointed. Divya’s “I Am Still Beautiful” is justifying that no person needs a perfect body to flaunt or a pleasing personality which he can show off to others. Payal was a jubilant girl who had everything in her life but still there was something which was bothering her, it was her growing disease within her. 

She felt the world is hunky-dowry who would accept her but nothing like that happened.
Payal was already shattered by her previous failed relationship and had lost every hope but then love knocks again but transient moment never last long. “You are damaged”,  well what’s exactly damage means? A slow recovery? Or an injury on your body which might took years to get normal?  Book actually shows reflection of society where we lives in, we build up lies and fake promises and kept on hurting anyone. 

Story starts with a sad note where Payal’s feels that she has lost herself again but at the end book turn like a new leaf which surprises me. Coming back to book title, is simply amazing. Every person is unique and one must respect others. Cover was simple which reflects a girl pondering over her loss and can also be noted that she is self-discovering herself from a long battle. Story was gripping but some pole holes like editing and grammatical error hinders the path. But let’s just skip it because author would rectify them in next edition or in this only. I would rate it 3.5/5 stars. Keep inking author.
