Review:

•When love adorns,
The sun and the moonlight,
All the celestial powers,
Tend to conspire…
Being in love. •

It’s a lattice of emotions expressed by a woman through her being that is analogous to life.

Divided into three parts, it talks about love in different forms. From Ovulating in emotions to bleeding in love to fertile to fly, the author expressed it beautifully. between a man and woman with vivid characterisation.

The poems are based on themes of love, hope, pain and hope. Each poem has its own depth, keeping the reader hooked throughout. It brings a smile on our face. Not to forget, the beautiful illustrations making this book more intriguing. From falling in love to being in love, from heartbreak to pain, the author conveys a beautiful message.

The writing style of the author is simple and relatable. I enjoyed reading poems under Ovulating in love. Though there were few poems, which I didn’t enjoy much from the later part. It’s a short, simple and quick read for all the beginners.
