Book Review: Anything to Look Hot by Jas Kohli

Title: Anything to Look Hot
Author: Dr. Jas Kohli
Publisher: Srishti Publishers and Distributors
Price : ₹195

Plot: When the superstar diva of the past decade doesn’t want to play the hero’s mother on screen, she insists that she be reshaped into the most beautiful woman in the world…by any means.

This is just one of the many odd situations which plastic surgeon Dr. Dhruv faces in Mumbai. He has dealt with tyrannical bosses and finicky patients while undergoing his training, during which he has also won over a stunning doctor as his life partner. But satisfying the movie stars is a different ball game, because every girl wishes to have bee-stung lips, and every guy wants to flaunt a six-pack abdomen without working too hard. And all this while, he has to resist losing his balance over his ravishing female clients. Dr. Dhruv’s journey surpasses even a masala movie for humour, drama and action. In debunking many a myth about cosmetic surgeries, the book will enthrall those who can do Anything to Look Hot.

My take on this Story: As this story is about Plastic Surgery it gives readers a new experience and it is a treat to readers who like Medical Fiction. Book Cover of the story is attractive and make it an instant pickup.
Language of the story is simple but attractive. It avoids the confusing sentences and ties the attention of the readers.
Story also tells us about the wild desires of the actors and actresses about their looks. Author has also highlighted the social issues faced by North-East Indians.
Dr. Palmer's humorous talks, Dr.Dhruv's wooing Nandini, the way Murari helps Dhruv, these are some of the fav. scenes of the story.
              Story contains a bit of romance and humour but is a straightforward story and lacks twists and turns. Some processes are in detail which most of the readers cannot understand.
Dhruv's Father takes up acting was very filmy and unreliable.

Ratings:
Book Cover: 4/5
Language: 4/5
Character Justification: 3.5/5
Final Rating: 4/5

So this story is something new to read and you can grab your copies at Amazon.

Book review: Just Six Evenings by Tanmay Dubey

First of all, a special thank you to Author paradise and Tushti Bhatia for this review copy.

Plot:-
Atul Shukla, a young, successful executive, has been arrested by the Gurgaon police. As he attempts to find some comfort in the dark
confines of his cell, Atul revisits his life and the six evenings that changed its course.

Eight years ago, while working in Bhopal, Atul had met the beautiful and intelligent Priya on a train, DDLJ style. When it turned out that she
was in his city for only six days, he decided to woo her in that fleeting period of time. But fate had other plans in store, and Atul and Priya were torn apart by lust and betrayal, seemingly forever.

Years later, Atul and Priya meet once again for six days, while they are both navigating the murky underbelly of the modern corporate world. And this time it’s not just their love at stake, but their careers, and their future as well. Will Atul
and Priya manage to give love a second chance?Or will corporate greed destroy their chance for a
happy ending?

Just Six Evenings is a modern-day tale of love, lust and ambition in a corporate India that shines at the expense of the dreams it tramples under its feet.

My Take on this Story :-
As this is Corporate based love story, it is readable for both teen age readers and middle aged readers.
Title and Book Cover is catchy and gives the overview of the story.
                     Prologue of this story is so strong that it binds readers till the end to find answers left in the beginning.
                   Language is simple but accentuating, One liners in the story makes the story interesting. Even the new readers would find it easy to go with.
                 Story starts with slow pace but at the end it takes perfect pace. At few places author has prolonged tbe description of corporate terms,otherwise it's a smooth read. Love story of Atul and Priya is cute and sweet. Evidents of Rama Lovely and Atul are funny and hilarious. Every Character has given importance.

Ratings:-
Book Cover- 5/5
Language- 4/5
Character Justification- 3.5/5

Final rating- 4/5.
