Meet the author of this wonderful looking novel- Despite love! (Siddhartha Srivastava)

This young author met me through my facebook page one fine day and I was thrilled to know that at such a tender age, he managed to publish his first debut novel and have lots of followers at Instagram page too.

He is sweet to talk with and have lots of stories to narrate.

I was so excited to read his novel that I ask him to send his novel to me so that I can read him and share with my friends.

This novel is available at amazon - At Rs. 129 ONLY


So, let us talk about this novel- Despite Love by Siddhartha Srivastava now!
This novel talk about the story of 4 protagonist- Rishabh, Smriti, Aradhya, and Ankit. Rishabh, Smriti, Aradhya, and Ankit are good friends.Rishabh and Smriti fall in love and Rishabh proposed her and make a special day for her. 
The story is simple yet you find it similar to your life in some way or other.



This story is a perfect blend of emotions; love, friendship, animosity and which the author mixed really well. Author gives space to every character to develop and no character overshadow the other. The suspense lingers till the end in the mind of the reader and keeps switching to and fro. A suspense thriller which will leave you in awe.


I admire the character of Aradhya. The way she stands by Rishabh when his two friends are dead. She too had lost her sister and a close friend. But she didn't let fatigue and her emotions outweigh her courage.  Through this episode, Siddhartha has beautifully portrayed the  women charactor and their strength as human.

This book has intense love, crime, ambitions of four college friends thinking to change the world


A couple of other things handled well is the switching of time, past to present, present to past. The author even mentions the time of the event before the chapter. The approach to the final climax and mini-climaxes in between the story is captured well and ensures the reader is on his toes to finish the book.

I love it !!!!
