A gem of a book
Wonderful wonderful. Beautifully crafted book. Rehana has the wisdom of a seasoned writer. The book is fluid, the characters jump out at you and you look over your shoulder as you walk past St. Andrews....this could be Fiza..and that Dhruv.The book is unputdownable and i have noted down memorable and quotable phrases ... Almost Vikram Seth-esque.I finished the book with a lump in my throat. Well done Rehana..Can't wait to get to Good luck, Hearsch and Yacht Bar

Spectacular!!!
it's a book for all the book-lovers, bookworms, bibliophiles, nerds...whatever people may call you. And not only that if you are extremely passionate about food, travel, and designing this book is for you.It's a book about a girl, Fiza who has just passed out of her college and is handed a job almost out of the blue by her dead father to open a bookshop. Fiza has absolutely no clue about this bookshop business, how to be a smart entrepreneur. At this juncture, her father's friend, confidante D.K came to her rescue in innumerable ways alongwith some other beautiful people in her life. By the time she got hooked to this weird plan of setting up a bookshop she's completely freaked out(in the best way possible) at how many ways she could design her bookshop, the different genres of the books she would arrange, the sitting arrangements with customed design details, working out a business plan, and ofcourse a cafe to keep the book lovers satisfied,happy and help to alleviate their reading and shopping experience.Now Fiza a budding bookshop owner, also juggles in between relationship with her ex and a mysterious customer and she is super confused and also she tries to find a common ground with her mother. The way she handles every situation is praiseworthy and we can learn so much from this character. In the midst of so much paper moon starts to take shape into a charming bookshop in an old Bandra mansion.We also get to assume as to what may be the end of Fiza and her relationship with her suitors......that's a bonus ofcourse when you can decide how the story ends.

My comfort book!
Now this is my comfort book! It covers my favourites topics - books, romance & food(here&there). It's so precious to me. Rehana Munir has a beautiful sense of words and writing. I'm very glad I came across this book on amazon or else I wouldn't know that it exists. So for that and for a clean product package, thankyou amazon!

This book will grip you! A good read
honestly, this book has a nice touch to it. but it is also a bit puzzled. you are reading for one, and then suddenly you jump to a random moment. this happened a few times. the book is also very catchy, yo can't stop reading it once you have started. i for one thought, Fiza buying the bookstore might be in the second half of story, but it was a good change as per other books. i also found one odd thing the the book cover and even the interior highly emphasize on the coconut man, Ismail, which is the contrary to the story. all over this is a placid, sweet and beautiful book. definitely a good read. the proclivity to the type of writing is subtle yet nice, an easy read.hope this helped >>>> :)Iha
