About The Book:
Do love stories ever come to an end? Do break-ups and hook-ups in life change people? And even if people change, do their hearts, feelings and emotions accompany them in this change? The beauty of our life lies in the small things which are connected and make relationships important in our life. This book is a journey which starts from our desires and ends at our responsibilities.
It is a tale that depicts true life and the sorrow of dreams not coming true. It is a tale of teenage love. Almost every movie we watch ends with and they lived happily ever after. But, life is not such. Life is when you have to choose between what your heart desires and where your responsibilities lie. And this is the reason why heart break.
About The Author:
Shrenik Mutha - reader, writer, aspiring scientist and an arts fanatic who comes nowhere near being a good painter or a singer - likes to read everything from romance to sci-fi. His mind connects to the sciences and his heart relates to literature. Born and brought up in the ever-growing city Pune, Maharashtra, Shrenik believes that the best way of expressing emotions is not through words, but eyes.
Broken Hearts is his debut novel and he hopes to continue writing stuff that has inspired him to think that not all dreams come true. His favourite books being I Too Had a Love Story and The Grand Design, Shrenik considers Ravinder Singh and Stephen Hawkings as his idols. I would be lying if I said that I wrote this story to become an author when in reality; I became an author so that I could share this story. By the way, a part of the profit of the book will be donated to charity for the less privileged. - Shrenik Mutha
