Summary
“One tequila, 2 tequilas…”
is a story about two people who are as different as chalk and cheese but
eventually they come together via the bond of love. The protagonist of the
story is Kosha, who is smart, intelligent, confident, wild, rebellious, devoted
tequila drinker and ‘anti-love’ person. Opposite her, is Siddharth, who is
calm, self composed, health freak, eager beaver, with a personality that none
can resist. The story runs in flash back when Kosha was in her young twenties
and decides to elope from her engagement, leaving the groom, Harsh Sarabhai, at
the altar. The sole reason that Kosha gives for ditching Harsh is that she does
not feel right with him. Kosha’s beliefs on marriage and love are gloomy, which
are a result of her sister’s tragic death. She confides everything to her
grandmother, but lately her grandmother has been in semi comatose state as an
aftershock of her sister’s death news. The story describes the chain of events
that take place during Kosha’s photography expedition with Siddharth, how they
become fond of each other, how they cannot resist each other’s presence and
how, eventually, they fall in love. The only obstruction in their path is
Harsh, the fat cat, who is Siddharth’s cousin and equal partner in his
business. The shrewd and wicked cog in the machine tries his level best to win
back Kosha, not because he loves her but because of some obscure motives. Will
the two lovers decide their fate together or will they accept the circumstances
as they are? Read “One tequila, 2 tequilas…” to unveil the climax.
My
opinion
“Fate controls who walks
into your life, but you decide who you let walk out, who you let stay and who
you refuse to let go.” The saying fits best with the plot of this story. The
characters are well crafted. The readers are compelled to enter into a parallel
world of imagination where the each chapter is happening right in front,
somewhere in the subconscious mind. Somewhere the book contains shades of romance
that remind the readers of “Mills and Boon”. The author has perfectly mastered
the task of keeping the attention of the readers transfixed such that it
becomes difficult to put the book down and take a break. The personality, of
all the characters, is admirable, be it daunting one or charming one.
The proofreading, use of
expressions and the narration is perfect. Lucidity, continuum, drama; are some
of the adjectives that fit right for the plot. The cover of the book is
mesmerizing and goes with the title pretty well.
Overall, a recommended book
for all those who are all ears and eyes for romance and passion. Kudos to the
author for portraying the emotions so well.
Drawbacks:
There are some printing
errors like Dhruv has been spelt as Dhruva.
