Worth a read!
The story of ‘The Sun, The Moon, And The Love In Between’ revolves around the life of Azhar, who is an average Indian boy from a lower middle-class family. Azhar is an introvert and has a string of bad luck when it comes to girls. Until he meets Zahra and they both hit it off. But Zahra has a secret that has weighed upon her all her life.The book starts out with Ishaan narrating the instances of Azhar’s disappearance. There’s an interesting twist to the plot, which was quite unpredictable.I like the character-development and the fact that readers can empathise with the characters on some level. The authors broach important issues like mental-health, tr@nsphobi@, gender-discrimination, marginalisation, etc.The only shortcoming was an instance of body-shaming and I felt there was excessive use of Hindi slang and sentences which could have been curbed.On the whole, it is a decent read about love, friendship and humanity which also highlights a significant issue that plagues our society. The narrative is smooth and fast-paced, hard to put down.Also, how absolutely gorgeous is the cover?

Together they have created magic!
Azhar Siddiqui is an average looking guy with a pure heart, who is looking for true love but the poor chap always fails in finding one, for each woman that comes in his life leads to heartbreak. Following this, his best friend Ishaan breaks his trust, leaving him lonely and depressed. Resorting to social media, Azhar falls in love with Zahra, a woman that he met online, without even physically meeting her. Bang on relatable! However, Zahra has a secret that has consumed her all her life and has impacted the lives of those around her. It is truly an amazing journey discovering what Azhar would do when he gets to know the truth.What a beautiful novel! A gorgeous and brilliant story of friendship, love and courtship. The story begins with Ishaan narrating the tale of how despite of their friendship-breakup, he was madly looking for Azhar when he went missing, along with flashbacks of what had happened. The changing timeline of the book really kept the pace up and kept me engaged. The story was realistic and often relatable, the depiction of moments of their friendship was so good, and so was everything else in the book. The book has a great twist, that I wish to talk about but unable to (to keep this review spoiler free), and an absolute entertainer. In just 166 pages, the book is a great book that I finished in just one sitting. The book has an interesting title and the book cover is pretty lovely too.Talking about the authors, I got to know that Faraaz Kazi is a celebrated author of several novels and Sahar Quaze has been writing the story for famous Indian soaps like Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai and dialogues for movies like Singh is Bling! Together they have created magic!

Beautiful
The depth of the story will make the readers to have fast heartbeats. Actually it’s because of the love that happens in between Azhaar and Zahra. Love will give you strength and power, but it also weakens you and melts you. True love and real friendship was encrypted nicely and the narration it totally engaging with the wonderful writing style. Yet too much of Hindi language usage might have been avoided. The author made the story with much interesting and intriguing twists in between love.Although the conversational pattern made to indulge more deep into the story and even the Hindi language will make the conversation so close to the readers, it won't reach many readers due to the discomfort and break in between the reading that produced by the other language. Otherwise it is a most engaging and engrossing read and the font changes gives a graceful read.It is a fast paced story with an ease language. The title and the cover are just awesome which leaves a deep thought inside everybody. The storyline is most common with interesting twists and turns. The characters are well-developed and impressive. What is the secret that Zahra holds is the most intriguing part of the story.Overall the story was written beautifully. Every character in the story explicit their own individual importance and supports the storyline to build a stronger impact on the readers.
