FIRST OF ALL!Throwing excellent vocabulary around to re-phrase sentences doesn’t deepen emotions; it just further complicates things.Plus Points:A bit different from your regular daytime soap opera!2.0/5.o for the plot. (Still thinking about other plus points!)Drawbacks:I honestly feel like a football being kicked back and forth between a love-struck lunatic's memories and his present.(I’m sounding too harsh and heartless, but the conversations in this one are to blame.)Didn’t he fail to build h...

I thought the book Truly, Madly, Deeply was a great read. I loved it for its innocence and pure emotions. It's a must-read for anyone who loves a heartfelt story. A little nod here and there to Bollywood films and music makes it all the more fun. Rahul and Seema make a lovely couple. The book took me back to my school days. It makes you realize not only the power of love, but also that of memories... something that will remain with us forever, even when the world backs out. The lines from poems ...

Honestly, "Truly, Madly, Deeply" by Faraaz Kazi was a complete waste of my time. No amount of ballot-stuffing this book onto every 'Best Of' list with fake user accounts is going to magically transform it into an international bestseller, sorry to say. The author clearly has zero clue how people in the US actually speak, and I was cringing so hard from second-hand embarrassment during some of the dialogue. Seriously, how many people in Philadelphia actually use the word 'bloke'? (Unless they're ...

I'm on page 28. Every so often, when I'm feeling unmotivated to rewrite something, I pick up **Truly, Madly, Deeply** to remind myself that India *needs* me. This book should NOT be a popular representation of Indian English genre fiction. Honestly, it shouldn't be any kind of representation of fiction.Seriously, I had a friend in law school who wrote exactly like this. He had absolutely no clue about grammar rules, let alone the rules for writing fiction. He thought a good paper meant stringing...

Coming off the high of epic love stories like Diana Gabaldon's *Outlander* series, Jennifer Donnelly's superb *The Tea Rose* and its breathtaking sequel *The Winter Rose*, and my all-time favorite, *The Bronze Horseman* by Paullina Simons, I was compelled to buy *Truly, Madly, Deeply* as soon as my Kindle arrived, especially given how it's absolutely crushing the competition in Goodreads polls. I had to see what all the fuss was about! For anyone as curious as I was: save your money. It's obvio...

This book will definitely challenge the notion that men don't cry. Considering the protagonist is a young man of about seventeen, and combining that with the fact that I shamelessly shed tears while reading it, I'm confident in my initial statement.While romance is often seen as a girly genre associated with chick-lit, the author has delivered a rare diamond. Very few books can play with time, not just in the sense that you lose track of it while reading, but also that they transport you to your...

Truly, Madly, Deeply is all about first loves and the dark side of obsession. In his debut novel, Faraaz Kazi spins a beautiful, yet heartbreaking, tale of teenage love between Rahul and Seema. At first, I thought Truly, Madly, Deeply was going to be another one of those predictable love stories. You know the type: boy and girl meet in school, fall head over heels, and ride off into the sunset because everyone is just *too* perfect. This feeling was only reinforced by the fact that both main ch...

‘Truly, Madly, Deeply… memoirs of a broken heart’s first love’... or as it's known here, **Truly, Madly, Deeply** by Faraaz Kazi, is genuinely one of the most wonderful romance novels I've read in ages. Forget your typical college fairy tale fluff; this is a unique and subtly powerful love story that grabs you with raw emotion right from page one. I actually stumbled upon **Truly, Madly, Deeply** on a bookstore shelf, drawn in by the striking blue cover. Next thing I knew, six hours had vanishe...

Love is a mysterious feeling; haven't you felt it play hide-and-seek with you, too? It sometimes hides beneath anger, even fear or hatred, its less extreme cousins. At other times, it openly flaunts itself through that extra glint in the eyes, the acceleration of heartbeats, and so many other such minuscule things which assume humongous proportions when it comes to this four-letter word. In its nascent stage, love is shy, cowardly, and dormant. But when it awakes, it has the power to rewrite des...

"Faraaz Kazi sends you on a nostalgic trip — back to those days of first love." - The Hindu. "It is warmly recommended to readers of all ages who have a strongly romantic bent of mind. Young rush of passion!" - Sakaal Times. “Amazed with the author’s narrative and literary prowess, this being his first book. Truly, Madly, Deeply is a touching read that will surely make you fetch the tissues and recollect your first love.” - Verse and Verbs Literary. “The alternation of feelings and actions, some...
