About the Author
Dr. Madhu Vajpayee the writer is born somewhere in those hospital corridors where she has spent the last two decades of her life. Witnessing life at such close quarters pushed her to capture the enigma of life in her words and slowly it became her passion. After writing several medical papers and chapters in books, she started her journey in the literary world. Having done her graduation, MBBS from King Georges Medical University (KGMU), Lucknow she went ahead to pursue her post-graduation, MD Clinical Microbiology from AIIMS, New Delhi.

She was a faculty at All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi having been associated with diagnosis and management of patients living with HIV/AIDS besides being actively involved with research and teaching. She is now settled in Melbourne, Australia with her family, where she is devoting most of her time to writing, the passion that she couldn't pursue earlier because of the demands of medical profession and commitment it requires. When not creating stories, Madhu enjoys reading and traveling.
My Review

I Owed You One is story of a mother who never turned her back to love her only child, a story of an affluent and powerful father who neglected his personal life, a story of a son who missed the touch of family and a story which has only one thread but it turned their lives roller-coaster.

Dev, the protagonist who had got everything in his life but then his life lacked proper love from his father and his wish of having a normal family always remained a wish. But sooner, his life comes to normal pace but then he received a letter from the past and it changed his life forever.

We live in a world where our every action counts; we never know how our one request would make us in debt and whose price we ought to pay. In simple terms, we can say that promises are something from which we can never run away. The same was with Dev, he was bound to fulfill his promise he make long back.

Coming to the book title and cover, it’s absolutely stunning and goes well with the story line. Character building was decent but the things I didn’t enjoy about the book were editing errors and the over stretched plot. The plot actually makes me very tiresome at the end of the book. Book could have been very gripping but again the plot didn’t work well. Whereas language of the book acts like a bonus  point that it will be easily read by anyone.
Book is more like a story of one karma and how different lives were interconnected to it. Book will give your life lessons and make you get hold of your life.

Overall, I Owed You One is a decent, one time read. Those who want to relax and read a light read they can pick this book.  I would rate 3/5stars for putting together a beautiful book for readers.
