💫 Too Good To Be True.....The Book That Feels Like A Hug After A Long Day
🌼 Some stories don’t just entertain you....they hold up a mirror, whispering the things you needed to hear but never said out loud. sometimes, the stories that touch you most aren’t about fantasy...they’re about the parts of you you’ve been ignoring. 💭 I don’t say this about many books, but Too Good To Be True by Prajakta Koli has officially become one of my favourite books.
Not because it’s perfect...but because it’s real....It’s the kind of book that doesn’t shout, it whispers. It doesn’t try to impress you with drama....it just quietly reminds you that life, even in its confusion, is still beautiful.
💭 The Story That Feels Like Life...
Aavni...the main character, is a law student working in a bookstore. She’s practical, funny, strong...but also deeply emotional in the way most of us are when no one’s watching.
Then there’s Aman...the calm, emotionally aware, “I’ll actually listen to you” kind of man (rare species alert 🦄).
Their story isn’t about grand gestures or perfect timing. It’s about two imperfect people trying to figure out what love means when you’ve already learned how to protect yourself from it.
🪞 A Mirror, Not Just a Story...
The thing I loved most? ....Avani’s way of overthinking everything. Like...something good happens, and instead of enjoying it, she’s like, “Wait, is this a trap?”..
I laughed because... same.
We get so used to expecting disappointment that when something real comes, we panic. It’s easier to say “I don’t care” than admit we’re scared to lose something that finally feels right. And that’s where this book really hits....it doesn’t show perfect people, it shows us. Confused, emotional, ambitious, scared...but still showing up for life every day.
☕ Little Moments, Big Feelings....
There’s this one scene where Avani is completely silent, just sitting in her thoughts, and Aman doesn’t try to fix it....he just stays.
No advice, no drama. Just presence.
That’s what made me love the book even more.
It reminded me how rare it is to have someone...friend, partner, or even family...who doesn’t rush you through your emotions. Sometimes, peace isn’t about someone solving your problems; it’s about someone quietly saying, “I’m here.” And sometimes, that “someone” has to be you.
😂 Real Life Feels Like This Too....
Honestly, this book made me laugh too. Because half the time, Avani is doing exactly what we all do: acting chill, overthinking everything, then pretending she’s fine when she’s clearly not. It’s like reading about your own internal monologue. You know...that cycle of “I’m okay” → “I’m not okay” → “Let’s just sleep.” It’s not heavy or overly dramatic. It’s the kind of real that makes you smile, sigh, and say, “Yaar, this is exactly my life.”
💬 The One That Stuck With Me....
“Sometimes it’s not about finding the perfect person ...it’s about finding peace with the imperfect one, even if that person is you.” I think this line changed something in me. Because we spend so much time chasing perfection...perfect love, perfect career, perfect version of ourselves...that we forget how peaceful it feels to just be. Maybe life isn’t about fixing every flaw. Maybe it’s about saying, “Yes, I’m a little messy, emotional, confused... and that’s fine.” And when you start making peace with yourself, everything else starts to fall in place naturally.
🌷 What This Book Taught Me...
Don’t run away from good things just because you’re scared they’ll end.
The right people won’t demand a “perfect version” of you...they’ll make space for the real you.
Being emotional doesn’t make you weak; it just means you feel deeply, and that’s your strength. And sometimes, saying “what the f*” and letting things flow is the best therapy. 😌
💛 For me, Too Good To Be True isn’t just a love story...it’s a life story. It’s about fear, hope, patience, and that one quiet truth: that good things can really happen, even if you don’t believe you deserve them yet.
This book made me smile, reflect, and even tear up a little...in the best way possible. It reminded me that even though life gets messy, there’s still beauty in chaos and softness in strength. So yes, this one’s officially my favourite book now.
Not because it’s perfect...but because it feels too human to be false, too honest to be just fiction. Because sometimes, life itself feels… too good to be true. 💫
