Love makes you complete. Love makes the world around you beautiful. Love makes your soul dancing in the rain when it’s not raining. Love makes you do crazy things which you may never dream of doing. Love is pure; love is divine.
Introduction
Author Name: Ruchita Misra
Genre: Romance
Language: English
This book is no exception, She wrote it beautifully. Her characters teach you about Life in their way and you can't forget them for a very long long time. This book is melancholy in a sort but we get a HEA. Their HEA could never justify what they went through, it's not fair. But I think that's what the author wants to convey here Life is not fair.
This is the first time I am reading a Ruchita Mishra book and I must say that I am in love with her writing. Ruchita touches multiple aspects in this book like friendship, love, pain, family, self-respect, etc, and makes sure that she writes it to the point.
“Family is not just people related to each other by blood. It is also the people you pick up in life and the people who you pick up in life. It is the people who give you roots and the people who give you wings. It is the people who give you a home away from home.”

Yet, somewhere in the heart and mind, there is still the vacuum of the dear friend, the one that knew their soul. There is a tragedy, abuse, bereavement. But there is hope, joy, and perseverance as well. Everything that one goes in their own life at some point or the other.
As I read the book I moved with Koyal and Atharv, as they grew into the people they would become. But only upon finishing the book did I realize that I had forgotten about the prologue. The prologue made sense in the end. The story had me so captivated. Only later did I understand the skilled manner of the author in writing the prologue.
All characters in Someone to Love are well defined. Atharv and Koyal, their parents, their friends, everyone has a place and everyone has a purpose. Koyal’s actions in the first half of the book may seem a bit out of the ordinary for a girl living in this day and age. Then again, the author does give an insight into her personality. I was particularly touched by the conversation between Koyal and her mother, and how she copes with the loss of her mother. The romance was well written as well.
The end of the book, especially where the dead write letters, takes you back to a movie – Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. Though the book is a lovely read, I feel the author could have given this bit her spin. I wouldn’t call it a complete sappy move like it happens in the movie, but if you have seen Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, you will see a shade of it in the book, more so towards the end.
My Review
What did I love? The romance. It grows from a form of innocence to an all-consuming turmoil and then settling into the stillness of a lake. Through the years, while it changes form, its depth continues to grow.
Someone to Love is a delightful and breezy read. I finished the book in a few hours at one sitting. So it’s a light read as well. Well written, using simple language, yet managing to portray emotions and turmoil, Ruchita Misra has done a great job. Given that Someone to Love is not her first book, I figure she shines brighter than before (Someone to Love is my first book of hers). Making it a point to add more of her books to my reading list.
I would recommend Someone to Love for anyone looking for a light and delightful read. Perfect for snuggling up with a cup of tea!
My rating for this book is 5/5
