Review –
What made me choose this book was its title ‘The Last Seychelles Flame’. Reading it I knew it had to be a romantic story, I am sucker for them. Also, the word Seychelles popped up the image of turquoise blue waters, sugar white sand beaches and swaying coconut palms in my head, and I couldn’t resist it.
Adrija is the protagonist of the story. She is a career-oriented girl and is highly motivated to realise her dreams. She has very high self-esteem and is hesitant to ask for help even in situations beyond her control.
Another mainstay character is Omkar who in spite of his beach boy looks turns out to be a dependable person and a loyal friend to Adrija.
Ronnie, the supposed love of Adrija’s life, is another important character in the book. He is a trouble maker and stays true to his character till the end.
The book touches on the fact that girls are often considered to be a burden for parents and they see their daughters as someone to be married off without spending much on their education. The story also underlines the importance for girls (or even men) to be wise in choosing their partners. A wrong step can cost them big time.
These lines from the book I particularly liked.
Challenges are like sweet butterscotch granules sprinkled all over in the cake of life, which are difficult to pick out and discard but if you know how to enjoy them even when they are hard to bite, they sure will enhance your experience.
Medha’s story is gripping and keeps you hooked till the end. It’s a romantic read and doesn’t disappoint you in the slightest. If you enjoy love stories, this one is just right for you.
