The Blurb :

Travel with Ananya to the picturesque Sreepuram, face the chaos of Bengaluru, and relish the warmth of magical Dubai in this heartwarming tale of love, betrayal, friendship and miracles.

My Review:

The story starts with Anu , an engineering student visiting her grandmother in a village called Sripuram. Maybe destiny had it she meets charismatic and smart Arjun who is a doctor as per his passion even though he owns great empire of multi million dollar company inherited from family. Anu's Grandmother Ammamma plays a role of cupid and brings together two souls. Ammamma's role is so heart warming that reader will definitely enjoy. But, there's a twist in tale. When Arjun Ananya love story takes uphill few misunderstanding leaves them fall. Emotional trauma leaves Ananya in kind of depression longing for Arjun while her friends Poornima , Khushi support her as best friends. Ananya returns to Bangalore concentrating more on her career along with her passion for art. Will Ananya forget Arjun? What made Arjun leave his angel Ananya? 

The author has described the tale so well that it makes one want to read what happens further. What  I really liked is each chapter starts with a quote and it makes one ponder. I fell in love with the cover of book when I saw it first time also the title. Character which i really liked is Amamma. She is simple and sweet. The story remains close to my heart. As a debut author Preethi has done commendable job as novel is really unique and stands out. If you believe in love story then "Without You " is the book to read. What are you waiting for? Go Grab the book!
