But All For Love follows the life of Neil and Gauri who are a married couple about to get a divorce. The book tells us the story of how their marriage crumbled and how certain people were part of the reason.<\/p>\n<p>The book starts off very well. The prologue shows Neil getting out from jail and heading to Gurgaon from Mumbai. It is very suspenseful and I could see that the book would be a bit intense.<\/p>\n<p>This isn&#8217;t a very happy book. We see how Neil and Gauri&#8217;s marriage crumble and how he has a brief affair with Dhrishti. It was sad to see their relationship being destroyed due to misunderstandings. There is a lot of drama in this book. It also gets really cheesy at times. The kissing and love scenes made me cringe as they were not written well. The protagonists travel a lot in the book and I think that made the book a bit more interesting. There is a twist towards the end that I think made the book better and stopped me from losing interest.<\/p>\n<p>This book doesn&#8217;t have very remarkable characters. I didn&#8217;t love Neil but I did feel bad for him throughout. I didn&#8217;t like Gauri much. She didn&#8217;t seem to trust Neil and they never talked through their problems. There was a huge lack of understanding and communication in their relationship.<\/p>\n<p>The narration of this book was a little different than I usually read. Neil is telling the whole story of what all happened to him to his boss. It shifts from the days of Neil and Gauri&#8217;s marriage to the present. The book got confusing at times and this format didn&#8217;t really work for me.<\/p>\n<p>I liked the writing style of the author for the most part. The story is gripping and fast-paced and I could get easily get through it in one sitting.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, I&#8217;ll say this is a nice book to read in one sitting. It mainly focuses on the problems that arise in a marriage or a relationship. It wasn&#8217;t that interesting for me and I didn&#8217;t find anything exciting. I do recommend it if you&#8217;re looking for a short romantic read.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><em><strong>\u201cI received a copy of this book from Writersmelon in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Add this book Goodreads Buy this book on Amazon Genre: Comtemporary Romance Publisher: Srishti Publishers &amp; Distributors Release Date:\u00a01 May, 2017 Pages: 176 My Rating: 3 stars<\/p>\n<div class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/travellingthroughwords.com\/index.php\/2017\/08\/01\/messed-up-but-all-for-love-by-arvind-parashar-book-review\/#more-9182\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading &#10142; <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Messed Up!
