Finally I've made it back. Unrelenting work pressure keeping me away . Wish Nisha could script some happy' deployment scenario for me π
Don't know where to start. Read all the pending updates since yesterday/before(?) all in one go...
And realised the feel is TOTALLY different, reading the chapters back to back; with multitude of emotions spinning rapidly, surging and ebbing, chapter to chapter. It's a heady feeling where you don't pause to ponder, speculate varied relations emotions reactions...and instead greedily binge on the next update...
cannot imagine how addictive the novel is likely to be... Defo not a bedtime novelπ
At the risk of perhaps repeating thoughts in other wonderful reviews so far ...here I go with my bit summarising all that I read so far!
Appa's showdown with all his girls - just had to happen, no doubt he may mope regret and attempt peace (I'm assuming); but Nisha you have done perfect justice to how any middle-class father would react to such turn of events.
Amma's attempt to bring back things to normalcy - bang on there! She is the sensible one and is doing her bit. I think her toughest baby to handle here is Appa
R&B's impassivity with Excelsior is as profound as Chachu's impending evil ploys for the same. Marriage to R&B brings a lot onto II's plate, of which, now she has zilch awareness.
And then when she does fathom, that is perhaps what will bring on her maturity; which now is completely shrouded by the love blanket and counting and claiming kissesπ
She will continue to be R&B's brat, but will protect him, his interests (& his family) with, I believe, an intense ferocity, a glimpse of which we saw in the Appa -II-R&B fiasco.
R&B II - there IS progression and my! what progression! π³Amazing! The text interchanges, the casual lover's banter- that's a massive leap! Very chirpy, pleasant, sexy, naughty romanticism ...
II is gradually drawing out R&B from his monosyllable responses; or at least attempting to ; okay, should give to her, the girl is getting somewhereπ
II & R&B chutti negotiations - R&B spoke! He did attempt to give some explanation. That's a big one, Bet he had never had to/wanted to account for any of his actions to anyone since his Ma's death. That vouches for his commitment.
And their negotiation skills...really 6 weeks down to 3 weeks...kya haggling skills !!
Happy Valentines day to allπ³ Is there any Valentine R&B II special on the way?

True I don't like the concept of valentines either. In India it's curfew. You can't get out with your brother or friend. Crazy people may get you married.
