Genre: high school romance
Rating: 1/5
Recommended to:  those who love simply high school romances perhaps like the Chinese drama 'a love so beautiful.'

Imperfect by Tamarind_me is a high school romance that tells us the story of the romance between two teenagers Abir and Saanjh. Sprinkled with jealousy and cute moments, I am pretty sure that people who love the genre will like this book too.

Saanjh seem to be a little insecure about herself but she is a bubbly and active character who attracted the attention of three boys. She had her eyes for just one guy but lost between her own decision to stay away from boys and her undeniable crush on Abir , she faces a dilemma.

Abir was fresh out of his previous relationship with Dhruvika. He was torn between the notions about being in a relation too soon and being the 'I need some time' guy. He ends up following the former when he realized there were others who had eyes for Saanjh.

The reason why I compared this novel to the chinese dramas is because it's oozing with teenage thoughts and insecurities. However, I believe the writer need to work on her descriptive skills.

As a reader I could see the characters interacting with each other and how the main characters feel, however the background seems to be amiss. Describing the energy or aura of the set and situation in just a few sentences could bring great changes to the story.

Rather than simply saying like this, the writer could have described how the bus was through Saanjh's eyes or ears and rather than speaking directly about how she felt when she saw Dhruvika a few moments earlier,  the writer could have let the readers know how Saanjh felt through her actions too like 'rising heart beats' or 'thumping head' or 'whitened knuckles'.

I believe that the book would have impressed me more of it went a little more deeper into the characters perhaps. What I mean is, I believe the thoughts of a character when he or she is alone gives the readers a personal connection with the plights and happiness of the characters. It gives us a clearer idea about what he or she is or about what made her do what she does. This does not necessarily mean about the characters actions and thoughts when she or he is alone in his or her bedroom, one can be all alone in a big crowd too when one is lost in their own thoughts like many often does. I kind of failed to establish personal connections with the characters but this does not mean that all the writers would feel the same, truth be said, I believe majority of the readers would not feel so✌🏾

In short, even if I cannot say that I am in love with your book , I am pretty sure that there are many readers out there who would love it the way it is.

Best of luck, dear, I hope you get a lot of readers and achieve your goals about being an accomplished writer.
