TITLE & SUBTITLES
The title got me curious to find out what the price of love could be.
LANGUAGE
The Indian-English language was easy and simple to understand.
BLURB
The story revolves around a self-centered woman named Sonia who seems to be lost in life. She is smart and ambitious but is disturbed and lacks self-esteem due to her troubled childhood. Her drive to always get her way lands her in a marriage she has second thoughts about. While she tries to balance work and home, she finds herself getting close to other men in her life. In her diary, as she pens down her thoughts, she often recalls her stepmother’s harsh words and takes many decisions in life only to prove her, and others, wrong. She ultimately quits working only to find that she suffers from DPD. And, how surprisingly supportive men in her life make her disorder easy to cure.
REASONS I LIKED THE BOOK
*It was simple and easy to read and understand.
*The story had a nice flow and was fast-paced.
*It brought out a message that parents play a huge role in a child’s life.
*It also tells us that we should fight and win our battles before we can bring up emotionally independent individuals.
AREAS FOR IMPROVEMENT
*There were minor errors which could have been omitted.
*It was a simple story of a disturbed woman, perhaps not a genre for me.
FINAL THOUGHTS
This book was a one-time read about a disturbed woman being unfaithful and falling in love many times despite having an ever-supportive spouse. I was probably looking for more romance like in those Mills & Boons novels, nevertheless, it was a nice read and kept me wanting to know how this woman’s life goes on.

Thanks, Sindhu!
The book seems interesting. I would love to read it ad you said a Woman’s life goes on. Hope it’ll inspire me to fight my own battles too.
I hope so too, Radhika! All the best!
A disturbed woman with multiple partners is quite a bold concept to write about. Not sure if this is my type but I sure find it intriguing enough to pick up.
Yup really bold! But then it happens, so it is better to know about it.
I read this a few months back and found it really worthy and different experience for me. The character developments were done beautifully by the author.
I think, I can pick this up when I am going through a reading slump. Quick and easy reads are great when you are not able to read as much as you want to! Thanks for your recommendation, Cindy.
From your blurb, it sounds like a contemporary life story. The protagonist is from a disturbed family and then has affairs. If she is falling in love many times, what is the price of love? Even I am all for the happily ever after kind of romance stories.
