Review: And My Favorite Author Again Came Back With A Bang - Unlike many other folks from our small community of Indian book reviewers, I have mostly enjoyed Durjoy Datta’s books. I have always loved reading his initial books; the ones that shot him into fame and stardom but, I did read the latest ones from his kitty including The Boy series and The Girl of My Dreams. They delivered far above my expectations and as a result, I promptly added Durjoy Datta to my list of favourite contemporary Indian authors. he story is of a married couple wanting to take the next step forward in their lives i.e. getting pregnant and having kids. It talks about the issues and struggles which would-be parents face. It also talks about the inevitable changes that creep in a marriage/relationship that has lasted 10 long years. Let’s talk about the storyline Avantika is a beautiful and talented investment banker who is as good at numbers as she is at drawing the male attention. She is quite successful at her job and is the epitome of beauty with brains. It is in college that she meets Deb and falls in love with him. Nobody ever thought that they’ll be a couple and yet they fell irrevocably in love with each other. Deb is a corporate professional turned failed writer turned script writer for saas-bahu serials. He isn’t much of a looker and his bank balance also doesn’t have much to boast of. The one thing that he is really good at is loving Avantika. And Avantika needs just that. Despite all odds, they have survived 10 long years of togetherness and have managed well so far. That is soon supposed to change, though. Of late, Avantika has been craving for kids while Deb just isn’t ready. He seems to think that the two are enough for each other and there is no space for anyone else. The Perfect Us is about two people preparing for the next step of their lives and gearing up for the challenges that come with it. While they plan and prepare, fate has something entirely different planned for them and soon all their plans will be thrown down the drain. How good were the characters? The characters in The Perfect Us are written well. Unlike protagonists of various other novels, they aren’t flawless and this makes them much more real and believable. They lead normal lives and their struggles and circumstances resonate with a large number of urban Indians. I like how the author has created a strong female protagonist and shown her as the bread-earner of the house. Since Deb is still struggling financially, it is Avantika who takes care of the bills. Each character has been developed well and they easily establish a connection with the reader. What about the author’s writing style? I like how Durjoy keeps trying his hand at different things. From dramas to romances to romantic thrillers, he has attempted various genres and done so really well. While The Perfect Us cannot be hailed as a conventional romance, it imparts some much needed practical lessons to couples in love. Often cheesy Bollywood movies and similar romances give us a happy ending when the couple is finally united. This book shows us the side of love that is real and believable. Marriage is not a destination but a journey and Durjoy Datta has done a really good job of portraying this journey through the story of Deb and Avantika. What I liked the most? The best part of The Perfect Us is how a major part of it seemed autobiographical. There is an unusual number of similarities between the protagonist Deb and the author himself. Moreover, even Deb’s love interest is named Avantika, which is also the name of author Durjoy Datta’s wife. Further, Deb is a writer who writes scripts for saas-bahu serials, which is also one of the many things that Durjoy Datta does. It seems that the frustration of Deb as an Indian television scriptwriter is a product of the author’s own experiences than just mere imagination. There are many such uncanny similarities between Deb and Durjoy which makes the book a little more interesting. And actually I can't even get on to it more because the climax got me crying hell out of my way and I just love Durjoy a little too much. The climax gave a befitting end to the story of Deb and Avantika. It was predictable yet it was satisfactory in the way it gave a decent conclusion to the story. I don’t want to disclose much for the fear of spilling some plot twists but it is safe to say that the book ended on a happy note. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #18,146 in Kindle Store ( See Top 100 in Kindle Store ) #605 in Contemporary Romance (Books) #2,402 in Contemporary Romance (Kindle Store) #11,592 in Literature & Fiction (Kindle Store) | ## Images ![The Perfect Us - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61DONt54qjL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Unnerving and surprising. *by A***N on 6 March 2020* A little story before we dive into the review, Durjoy Datta was one of the first Authors to introduce me to the books and novels.

It talks about the issues and struggles which would-be parents face. It also talks about the inevitable changes that creep in a marriage/relationship that has lasted 10 long years. This story includes many other characters rather than the couple which makes it perfect to relate with one's life and circumstances.Shrey is the one character you enjoy no matter what. Everyone needs a friend like Shrey in their life. A brother like Tanmay makes the relationship of brother and sister perfect. The role of Vernita is much important in Deb's life. The caring of Deb's parents visualise every Indian parents. And the love for each character with other made this perfect. The part which attracts me the most in this novel is to define the pressure on writers of TV screenplay. We often saw a serial and say what are they writing without knowing the pressure they are holding to earn their livelihood. The line in novel that, ' They are trying to sell novels in a country which don't read. The publisher who want to change this tradition vain their efforts and end up on negative note. ' The last few pages were hard to read with emotions flowing and don't get me started on the last page of the last chapter my heart literally stopped. I can't even imagine what was did to Nayra but at end the epilogue clears all. But this is the thing which made Durjoy writing style amazing....... PS : You will surely fell in love with both the child Nayra and Augustya. These characters were so realistic that even whenever I read their names I felt them just near me with their cute smile and little and sharp body body.
