Book Review : A Gift to Remember by Mellisa Hill
I have not read many books of the 21st Century since I had some time to kill in my hands thought I should start doing it.So i downloaded a random book and went through it in my tablet. It is not very long so I finished it in two days.
I did not choose the book based on any reference or reviews ,just thought about getting a very recent book from any author cause I have not read a thing which is created in the past 8 years, so I just downloaded the first book I came across and had no idea what genre was it or about the author. I found out very soon that its a Womens fiction and most of her readership are women.
It started with a general description of the main character "Darcy" and the development of her character as a book geek.An accident turns her world upside around and only increases her fantasized reality and phantasm to greater heights and how it affects her in the end.
I loved how Melissa seems to build the tension and in the process also creates new charcters in the book till the end .I especially loved how all the famous quotes by the greatest authors at the start of each chapter.Infact, there are a lot of literary references in this book but almost all are women fiction which made me somewhat ignorant.(Pride and Prejudice, Little women etc)The movies were enough for me!!She has managed to make the book suspenseful and also succeeded in giving a fathomable ending.It is also kind of reminiscent of an imaginative person who revels in the absolute beauty of their vivid imagination and try to project the same to reality. I could relate to that.
