(All opinions are my own)

We are often forced to make a choice about almost everything. But you know what's the toughest thing? choosing between the things that mean the world to us.

Passion or Parents? Both of these words have extreme feelings attached to them. How to choose one and leave the other behind. Impossible right?

'Passion VS Parents' is one such tale. This is an ordinary girl's story of trying to balance her parents and dreams together.

'Passion VS Parents' introduces the readers to Miloni, a smart and intelligent girl. she is a perfect daughter with good grades and love for music. As time passes her love for music turns into passion. This is when her parents come into the picture. Like every other Indian parent, her parents also want the best for her but music? its a big no.

The story takes us through Miloni's struggle of trying to turn her dreams into reality.

I won't reveal the plot further as that would be the ultimate spoiler. If you want to know her choice and reasons, you need to read the book.

Title- The title is just perfect. It gives the readers an idea about the content inside.

Cover- It's cute but could have been better.

'Passion VS Parents' is a bulky one, so it took me a while to finish this book. I liked the storyline. The beginning was really interesting. Talking about the writing style, the author adopted a simple writing style, keeping the language easy. It's an 'easy breezy; read.

Both primary and supporting characters were well developed. The thing that really bugged me is the length of this book. The story is extremely stretched out and as per me it wasn't even required. There was a lot of information which wasn't necessary but keeping that aside it was a fair read.

Five Things 'FIVE FEET APART' Taught Us

'Five Feet Apart' is an American Romantic Drama, inspired by a real-life couple Dalton and Katie Prager, who both suffered from cystic fibrosis . As you all know that I'm not a movie person, I'd choose books anytime over movies but as I am going through 'Reader's Slump' so I decided to watch Netflix and guess what? I found this treasure. This movie impacted me greatly so I decided to share all my takings with you all. Let's start! 1. Live Big because life don't give us enough chances. 2. Take risks , you never know which moment is your last. 3. Love! Don't be scared of it. Loving won't kill you but not doing it will surely kill a part of you. 4. Take chances! We can die today, we can die tomorrow but we can also make our life worth living. 5. Breathe! Take a deep breath and enjoy your today. We are all on borrowed time. Instead of focusing on making your tomorrow good, make your today even better.

REVIEW: Broken Knight by L.J. Shen

Not all love stories are written the same way. Ours had torn chapters, missing paragraphs, and a bittersweet ending. Luna Rexroth is everyone’s favorite wallflower. Sweet. Caring. Charitable. Quiet. Fake. Underneath the meek, tomboy exterior everyone loves (yet pities) is a girl who knows exactly what, and who, she wants—namely, the boy from the treehouse who taught her how to curse in sign language. Who taught her how to laugh. To live. To love. Knight Cole is everyone’s favorite football hero. Gorgeous. Athletic. Rugged. Popular. Liar. This daredevil hell-raiser could knock you up with his gaze alone, but he only has eyes for the girl across the street: Luna. But Luna is not who she used to be. She doesn’t need his protection anymore. When life throws a curveball at All Saints’ golden boy, he’s forced to realize not all knights are heroes. Sometimes, the greatest love stories flourish in tragedy TITLE- Broken Knight AUTHOR- L.J. Shen FORMAT- E
