REVIEWS
REVIEW BY ILA GARG
Adulterated
Love, by a young talent Udita Pal is a book with an attention grabbing title.
Published by Gargi Publishers, a fast progressing self-publishing house, the
book has an amazing cover. I particularly liked the color, as fiery as love
itself. The scribbling like ‘3P disturbs us a lot – Parents Periods Pressure and Hormonal Locha’ further
arouse reader interest. The concept is perfectly presented by Amol Karambe. The
quality as I have agreed in my previous review is obviously one of the best in
the recent book industry.
An 18
year old first year Journalism student at Central University of Jharkhand,
Ranchi, Udita Pal was first published in an anthology, Uff Ye Emotions 2, where
her coauthored story was featured. Interestingly, I had reviewed the book and
liked her story. You can check the review here. A social media addict, she can
be found online indulging in talking about her not so interesting life,
entertaining others or uploading selfies. Apart from being a typical teenager,
she is an avid reader and a blogger. She dreams of being a standup comedian.
With Adulterated Love she has marked her literary debut as a solo writer.

unfiltered tale.”
With a
cheeky tagline ‘WE ARE FOREVER’ the novel says a lot ever before it begins. The authoress has
made it a point to expose the reality of this generation’s love.
The story opens with a perfectly written Author’s Note that says in clear
words that love doesn’t exist in this age.
Relationships
are easy to make but difficult to accommodate these days. The story moves
around Ela and Suhas and their almost perfect fairytale romance. It goes from
how they met, to how they ended up fighting with each other and how they
finally became friends.
Adulterated
Love is a journey of Ela and Suhas and illustrates how they fell for each
other, how they realized different priorities of life. How they fell apart due
to the different callings and how they eventually realized each other’s value.
The only
thing that seemed a little incomplete was the climax. Overall, a great effort
at her age, though the language has a lot of scope for improvement. I guess
young readers will definitely enjoy indulging in this book.
The 143
page book contains a prologue, 20 chapters and an epilogue. The story is quite
touching. It will make your heart melt with love. The way Ela’s
character has been described is what I really loved. I also liked how Udita has
divided the book in 3 Acts – Before relationship, During relationship, and After relationship. I also
loved the use of hashtags and the pointers.
‘Yay’ Factors: The plot, and the characters.
‘Nay’ Factors: The climax could have been more shaped up.
This is a
very quick read, probably 2-3 hours would be enough to read it. Perfect during
travelling or late nights! I recommend this book to all those who want
something light to read, especially the new readers. Best wishes to her for her
future works!

REVIEW BY R. KUMAR
Since the
debut of this book I was very thrilled to read it because the title “Adulterated
Love” itself looks like bit bold and its beautiful young author “Udita” belongs
to same home town, which made some extra push to finish it as soon as possible.
In
short-term I can jump with one sentence i.e. “Bold & Beautiful”, yes
Udita picked a teenager love story in a bold format but beautifully so you can’t expect
any indecency. No doubt couple of candidates might get chance to go through
his/her first crush, first date, so called first love or first step to bed but
somewhere justification behind this bit puzzle for them. Udita tried to express
the feeling & emotions of a teenager very nicely who is trying to appear in
board exam and preparing to build his/her career but meanwhile struggling to
manage the same state of mind.
In one
point she succeeded to narrate one teenage girl’s sentiments faith &
doubts concurrently but still lacking the transparency of love. I’m in
favor that today’s era of new generation is bold and impatient and Udita continued
with the same flow but someplace didn’t balance the rhythm of love & emotions.
If Ela is
a character of self-balanced and studious girl then Suhas is also reflecting a
guy who is trying to maintain stability in love-emotions, study & family
priorities. So if you decided to keep HER side honestly then need to keep
positive side of HIS honestly. I believe few ending plots could be lovelier
rather than existing blues or bit toughness.
In term
of urban illustration Udita did really awesome job, but someplace it was really
funny and interesting because I know each & every corner of this said city “Bokaro”.
Therefore assuming somewhat which doesn’t exist in reality was really pleasant appearance; definitely it
was must to include elaborating the story line.
As a
debut author, Udita managed to pen down some realistic approach. Briefly, it’s a
really a bold and beautiful story to narrate teenager love & emotion with
certain real circumstances.
HAPPY READING!!
