Pallavi Sareen's Reviews > A Walk in the Rain

3.5 stars
The book cover is pretty simple yet beautiful. The story however, is kinda like a movie. The guy-girl romance, get separated and the friends, villians and of course fights. So not much of a surprise there. I have to say this first so none of you take it in the wrong way. I liked this book. I flew through the pages, one after the other. I stayed up till 2 am reading until I finished it.
The characters were realistic, likeable. Sunny, the shy kid finds a friend in Sandy the bubbly girl. The cute friendship and how the bond strengthens, I loved reading about that. Some of the sad and painful parts were just written so realistically, I guess that's what makes someone a good author. Portraying those emotions using words.
Ever since the prologue, I was impressed by the author's chain of thought. I was impressed with the writing style and sometimes, it was the only thing that kept me reading. The way new characters are introduced, with their own back story and even a present continuation in case of some characters, it was fun. The plot however I have to say was predictable. (Maybe it's just me. I mean come on, I predicted The wasp factory. I've got a good instinct with this stuff.)

Still there were some surprising elements, and I was intrigued to keep reading about these characters that I connected with pretty easily.
Here's a quote I liked :

“It’s not the person who is good or bad, it’s the side we rub of them.”

A walk in the Rain is a contemporary romance that readers like me would enjoy reading especially in a perfect setting. (When it's raining outside, and you've got coffee.)
