•Everything has a second chance, rejections are a way of life to make us even stronger.•

Book 26 of 2023 and it’s a cute story of two students, poles apart, coming together. While they share their stories and past, they come up with a brilliant concept, something we have never thought about.

Will they succeed with their concept? How will it take shape? With many questions which will make readers curious, one thing that I loved the most is their supportive parents. How? Read this till the end.

Being heard by @al_ameel_ is a story of Zayn and Tara who met at the college. Zayn loved Tara’s personality but felt there was something wrong as she was always seen apart from the crowd. Zayn can’t see anyone sad around him and something about Tara made him approach her. Things started in an awful way between them but turned out to be the best later.

I liked the storyline of the book. Sime yet strong and beautiful with scars. With an intriguing plot and crisp descriptive narrative Al Ameel takes us to the lives of Zayn and Tara and the struggles their parents faced. As the story proceeds a series of events takes place taking them back to the past and reliving the scars.

Here the author describes one of the best bonds in the most beautiful way. The Father and Son bond. I loved the way he portrayed the family’s past. One could relate to the situation and could feel the emotions of each of the characters.

As the plot develops, Zayn participated in a startup competition and came up with an interesting concept. With Tara’s help, he shaped it well and they were ready for the presentation. While Zayn lost all his hope after the presentation, his dad became his anchor, asking him to not give up on his dream. They started working again and this time, looking for a chance. They got their one last chance, and their only hope was to succeed.

In the last few chapters, the plot gets intense and exciting. Their efforts and the way things were shaping up were interesting. I wish there could have been more description of those events as it finished quite quickly.

It’s a fast-paced story and a light read with drama and a determination to bring a change. The characters are good, but I would have enjoyed it more if there were more details. I loved the way Zayn’s parents supported him and their chemistry of course.

It’s an emotional read with layers of love and friendship, teaching us how all of us are going through different situations and all we need is that one chance. And the first step to that chance is courage that can change it all.

The simple pleasing writing style of the author keeps the readers invested in.

It’s a good read with a great concept and twists. The climax was defiantly emotional and unexpected but again, it ended abruptly. The one missing point I found in this book is the details of the events. It would have made it more interesting.

Overall, it’s a light, good read that you’ll enjoy over the coffee. A story with indeed an interesting concept.
