Novoneel Chakraborty is one of the most loved and talked about authors on and outside Bookstagram equally and I always wanted to read his work. And so when I got the opportunity to read Heart On The Edge, I was all in for it.
Heart On The Edge by Novoneel Chakraborty is the story of Naishee Kamraj, who loves her brother Shravan and shares everything with her, the things and secrets that she can’t with her parents, and both are secret keepers and support systems for each other. But one day suddenly Shravan goes missing and while everyone believes that he went off by his own will, Naishee didn’t. And her instinct got verified when she received a parcel and was asked to do various horrific tasks. But is it just another trick or is something wrong there? Would she be able to put the tasks effectively and save her brother or will the damage shake their life? To know what happened to them, read the book.
The book was very fast-paced and the writing was very engaging. From the first to the last page, the author was able to grab my attention and kept me hooked. Various social issues were raised throughout the book, being the main plot and the sidelines as well. Navigating through two different timelines, the story continues and reaches its destination a little abruptly!
The end was something that kept me in a dilemma for a long time, as I was not able to comprehend what just happened there. Although I am not satisfied from the perspective of the character, about which can’t be said much without giving spoilers.
So let’s come to the final judgement. Was the book interesting? Yes. Was it able to create suspense and hold the mystery till the end? Yes. Was the writing engaging? YES (in capital letters). Am I satisfied? Maybe (Read it as ‘somewhere in between’). Would I like to read more by the author? Yes. Would you enjoy this book? It’s subjective and completely based on your perception. I’ll give it 3.25/5 stars.
P.S. I don’t usually write reviews in this format, but the unusual ending of the book motivated me to write this usual end of the review as well! Can’t help it ЁЯлг
I was provided a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.
You can buy the book from Amazon or any bookstore near you!
