Peehu:
“I
heard them mourn my death. I lay in the next room. Motionless, silent, and
staring at the ceiling.”
Adih:
“When
it comes to a broken person, some of them are expert at blinding you. Spend an
entire evening with such a person, but you may still not know how he is
crushing inside.”
Uday:
“Who
would say no to him? He is smart, intelligent, super handsome, rich, suave and
sophisticated. He’s perfect!”
Pooja:
“Pooja
gave no explanation. She asked no forgiveness. She just arrived in his home,
resenting him for being her husband.”
Arunav:
“He
had smiled as if nothing was wrong.
He
had behaved as if he still had his dreams and hopes.
He
had pretended as if it didn’t hurt.
But
it did.”
Does
Destiny hold the key to our happiness?
Is
it always the feeble that is the victim?
Love
can be the embrace of heaven. But what happens when it unleashes hellfire?
Lose
yourself in the intense narrative of You Came Like Hope as it unleashes a
rollercoaster of emotions, uncovers some bitter truths, challenges widespread
prejudices, and forces you to reconsider your beliefs.

My Review:
Plot:
The plot is simple and straightforward. Adih and Peehu find themselves in each others lives. A series of events have led them to where they are today, but each individual has some hurdles to overcome for themselves before they can commit to the other. It is a journey that they have to take together and yet separately at the same time in order to be able to let go of their pasts to embrace a future together.
Character Development:
I liked the characters of Adih and Peehu. Uday really irked me. But they are all developed just enough to give the depth to the story.
Language & Narrative:
Simple and easy to read.
