Blurb :

Mishkat and Nasya did not get married because they were forced to or because it was necessary. They did it because they wanted to. They flew to different continents for their careers a month after their marriage, not because the marriage didn’t work out but because they wanted to focus on their dreams.

They focused on their careers for seven years, excelled in their respective fields, and moved from being friends to best friends. They thought theirs was the perfect relationship because they did all that they ever wanted.

But, when life carved its own path, it left them with a dilemma. Did they really do everything that they ever desired? Is what they think they want, what they really want?

Review :

Married on Paper is the story of Mishkat, Nasya and their marriage.

They got married and to focus on their career and dreams, flew to different continents. Nasya became an actress and Mishkat, a Neuropsychiatrist. Is living separately something that they can work out? Despite being married, does distance and secrets tends to ruin relationships? Read the book to find out.

I would like to appreciate the fact that this book doesn’t go along the same lines as the normal cliche romance books. The storyline offers a perspective I’ve not read on before, plus points for that! The book starts off well, with the way the protagonists meet and how they get married, but then the twist takes its place in the plot. It’s entertaining upto an extent, but then it feels slightly repetitive. I like how the mental health component has been taken into account and stories have been weaved around it. It’s also really efficient to see how the characters and their stories are shaped giving enough weightage to the past and how it’s was an important component in shaping their present and future. The story moves at a slow pace and I like how it comes together at the end. It’s also interesting to see how the mature and well communicating the protagonists are.

However, I feel the plot of the book is diluted as compared to the synopsis. I wished for a bit more drama and complexity in the story. The language used is very easy to understand and simple.

It’s a book for those who are looking for something different to read in the romance genre rather than the typically plotted stories.

Thanks to the author for providing me with the review copy in lieu of an honest review.
