My
Review
“Dying to live” is a story of a teenage girl Megha, who is
strong and determined to be the best. She has everything in her life, wonderful
parents, cool friends whom she sometimes envies, blue stocking and to be
national level swimming champion. But sometimes she too sucks and failed
miserably. Something which she was aware of but couldn’t control her rushing
emotions on various life events. A year of teenage is very delicate because you
have no control on emotions and it tends to drive you crazy. People talk about
your benefit but you turn down their requests and start thinking as if you
could do the best.
Magha was too trapped in her mind as well as of her
surrounding. This book is actually a story of a teenage girl who fights to
become best from the worst she did at times. Book will hook you will so many
illustrations which makes the book and characters live. We see so many
teenagers struggling either to excel in studies or trying to fix themselves
with someone from opposite gender. Well that’s what teenage is about. A driven
force where your mind and surrounding both tries to hold you or make you weak
for taking some crazy decision . Megha’s
story is something which deserves ears because how many if you would wants
remember how an all-rounder becomes an average yet happy girl.
Book talks about various issues which we faced or our
friends faced and an insight is given by the book how to overcome your biggest obstacles.
A supercool Nani who acts like light at the end of tunnel and a
mother who always want her child to be the best. The book is motivational read
and would make you to step into Meghs’s shoe.
Characterization is good, illustrations in the book is
really very amazing. Language is good almost like reading a teenager’s diary.
The cover is beautiful and the title matches the storyline.
Overall the book has justified at all the levels just like
the previous one “Sick of Being Healthy”, which I want to read. Book is
recommended to both parents and teenagers. I would rate 3.5 stars/5. I wish to
read more from the author’s work.
