Author:
“Ever since she can remember Vidisha has been a daydreamer. She loves
to travel, try different cuisines, dance, listen to music and most of all she
loves to read. She is also a Chartered Accountant who has worked in the Finance
industry for over 11 years.
Vidisha took a break from work when her daughter was born. Her life
changed when she took her daughter to her first dance class. She had an hour to
spare so she started writing a story and then there was no looking back. Her
first Romance Novella Life's Not Over Yet
is the first in a series of books about life. With life experiences from the
Middle East, Scandinavia, Australia and India, Vidisha weaves an emotional and
romantic journey for her characters. She has always believed that if you really
want something, the universe will come together and open doors that you never
thought existed, all you have to do is listen and look carefully around you.”
Appraisal:
Trisha is going through a mid-life crisis. Her friend sets her up with
a one year lease in Chail where she has a job waiting for her. Trisha is under
the impression her friend has lined her up with an apartment of her own.
However, she leased a room in her friend’s brother’s house. Dev is a doctor who
is going through his own stuff and doesn’t remember signing the lease because
he was too drunk to remember. Both characters are strong willed but Trisha has
the upper hand because she has a signed lease for one year.
Dev is an arrogant jerk for the first six months of the lease. Trisha
and he have an agreement to stay out of each other’s way which seems to be
working out for both of them. Anyway, after six months Dev finally realizes he
has been a jerk and Trisha can now stay for the whole year’s lease. Honestly,
she wasn’t even looking for another place to live.
I had a really hard time trying to like both of these characters. Dev
for being an arrogant jerk and then after having dug his heels in for six
months decides that is all water under the bridge so let’s be friends now.
Trisha was a control freak with everyone except Dev. Their whole situation
drove me nuts. I believe this is more of a personal dislike, so other readers
may have a completely different experience with Life’s Not Over Yet.
