An Unconventional tragic Love story : November 9

Book review

The name of the book is NOVEMBER 9

Author: colleen hoover

Synopsis:

Fallon meets Ben, an aspiring novelist, the day before her scheduled cross-country move. Their untimely attraction leads them to spend Fallon’s last day in L.A. together, and her eventful life becomes the creative inspiration Ben has always sought for his novel. Over time and amidst the various relationships and tribulations of their own separate lives, they continue to meet on the same date every year. Until one day Fallon becomes unsure if Ben has been telling her the truth or fabricating a perfect reality for the sake of the ultimate plot twist.

Can Ben’s relationship with Fallon — and simultaneously his novel — be considered a love story if it ends in heartbreak?

The story of the book started within a position where a teenage girl is conducting her life after losing her dream work (Acting career) due to a 4th-degree burn on her body. Everything beautiful in her life was torn apart by that incident. The writer extraordinarily expresses the flowing of life of a girl who has been a victim of such tragedy. She still wanted to pursue her career and wanted to make everything alright. But the environment shows a reluctant sign to her every approach.

Just out of the blue a boy came into her life and she was feeling happy after a long time. Ben, an aspiring writer was also looking for a good character influence for his novel. They quickly got along. But In her mind, it popped up that, she always wanted to take a shot on the career she wanted to build so she had to go another place.

They decided that On this very particular day they will meet every year, if one of them got along with his or her separate life, that person need not attend this day. This how the story starts.

As the story unfolded, I found myself became more and more emotionally invested in the characters. It was genuine how Falon gave importance to the goal and career and thought about other career approaches too, not wanted to impose an emotional burden over others.

More than anything. I was impressed by the author’s handling of the theme of beauty. Fallon is horrifically scarred, and as a result, she is, understandably, very insecure about her looks. But Ben sees past those scars and is determined to help Fallon to do so too, which elicits some moment of wonders.

As the climax built, I sensed that the story went beyond every aspect of romanticism and beauty towards the VERY TRUTH of all of these which was surely breathtaking.

While the book alternated points of view throughout, it was Fallon who we really got to know — whose flaws we saw — first. This, initially, leaves us feeling like Fallon is a broken person while Ben is a whole human trying to save her from her brokenness. But then we find out that Ben is just as irrevocably broken.

And that’s when the paradigm shifts. It becomes not about a broken person being put back together by someone who has never felt pain. Instead it’s about two people, hurting together, and finding that the only glue strong enough to hold each of them together is each other.

Thus, a succession of surprises and twists flow before our eyes resulting, in the story, our attention and push us to question, Now what will they do to each other!? Will they able to live with the very truth?

As the truth unfolds, the plot becomes more and more intense and breadth taking. The Truth which I am referring is far more tragic than a person can ever think of and capable of making you feel traumatized for a moment. It is indeed a emotional roller coaster for the reader.

I highly recommended this book to my dear hivers! Thank you for your patience reading this piece of writing.
