Review of a romantic book - Love is for Life & Beyond by Yashwant Kanodia

This book was the part of surprise Diwali bundle we have received. Though not sent as a gift, timing made it as a perfect gift for bookworm like us. "Love is for Life" by Yashwant Kanodia looks a perfect "Mills & Boons" type book. A sweet picture of a couple, a romantic title & cute blurb makes it a perfect pick for Millenials.

The day he thinks life couldn’t have been better, it unravels its plots one by one, cracking the very foundation of his perfect life and breaking his heart into a million pieces.
