Review-

College Days is yet another Teen Fiction which revolves around College, Girls and Mischief and Hostel.

Though book has nothing new to give, author has good storytelling skills which holds the readers with the book.

Book Title and Cover- Book Title is interesting and appropriate with the book. Cover is catchy and suggests us about the genre and content. 
Both Title and Cover catches attention of readers.
Blurb is short and could be made more interesting.

Language and Narration- Language used in the book is simple and easy to comprehend. 
Narration is done in Third Person Narrative and is done well but could be improved in next book for better reading experience.

Characters- Author has tried well to portray the College Goer characters and he succeeds to do so. However, Characters of the book lack depth and thus I was unable to relate to them even though theme is pretty much relatable.

Storyline and Plot- Plot of this book is simple and has nothing new to give. However, Storytelling is what binds you with the book. Scenes are written well and they flow smoothly. I loved the humour in the book. It made me enjoy this book.

You can read this book to relive and cherish college days but do not expect extraordinary plot.

Review-
Book Title and Cover- 3.5/5
Language and Narration- 3/5
Characterization- 3/5
Storyline and Plot- 2.5/5

Final Rating- 3/5

Publisher- Srishti Publications
Pages- 216 pages

Blurb-  That day I realized I had lost her forever. I had lost her smile, her friendship, her voice… But still, somewhere in my heart, I believed her to be my girlfriend. My mute girlfriend.” Rohan is a telecom professional posted in Meerut and misses his girlfriend from college days, who had stopped interacting with him, without giving any reason. Although she had always stood by his side and her eyes reflected immense love, but she remained his mute girlfriend. The book opens with an SMS from Vaidehi to Rohan, after five long years. But before he could reply, his mobile gets damaged and he wanders in his memories to narrate a story. About how his girlfriend became his mute girlfriend after the first year of their engineering college. My Mute Girlfriend is a true romance story of how Rohan unravels the answers to why Vaidehi was mute for so long and how their life is about to change. But little do they know that the worst is yet to come.

Review- My Mute Girlfriend is debut novel by Himanshu Rai. With his debut book, Himanshu serves us love-story of Rohan and his encounter with love and friendship.

Book Cover and Title- Book Cover is appropriate with the content. However, it could be made more attractive. Title is appropriate with the book and creates suspense. Blurb is interesting and attracts readers.

Language and Narration- Language of the book is lucid and rich in vocabulary. Narration of the book is a bit off-hook.  Dialogs are crisp and short. However, there are some editing errors in the book which could be improved in the next edition.

Characterization- Characters are justified properly with more or less depth given to every character which helps to make this story complex.

Storyline and Plot- Storyline of the book is plain with few of twists and turns throughout the book to keep readers interested in the book. All the scenes are rightly places with exiting and fast paced story.

However, Plot construction is commendable. Himanshu beautifully merges the relatable characters and the story.
