A Taste Of Love

by Kamlesh Ranjan

‘I don’t think I should tell you this, but it seems like you have gained my trust. Today I dreamt about her, and it was not just a regular kind of dream, it was like an erotic dream. Oh my god, I’m feeling really shy,’ Siddhant is in his second year of graduation. Though he’s not the most intelligent and popular guy in BHU, he is just okay. He’s straightforward but confused, he enjoys life but cries sometimes, shy and sort of cool, he hates his okay life. But most importantly, he is waiting for his right time, the right time for career thinking, love, movies, dating, sex and growing up. For now, it’s just about his idiot friends, a ‘never founded’ crush, a weird family, some dark secrets, a shrink and of course, HER. But for how long? Standing with the crowd doesn’t make sense, so how do you stand out? How do you cope with the pain? How do you become spectacular from just O-K-A-Y?

What an incredible love story. I don't know if this book will stay for a long time, but as of now, it has done its job. Out of all the stories I have read and heard, this one is a unique love story around Varanasi. It touches elements of college life, romance and hope.

Recommend to all people who read love stories. A Taste of Love is an emotional rollercoaster that lingers long after the final page. A must-read for fans of intense, character-driven storytelling.

I think this is one of the sweetest book that I have read on bananas. You’ll literally see the character Siddhant grow from a simply guy to a mature person at the end of the book. It might be a little erotic for some but this one will do, the story demands it.
