I would like to start this post by thanking MM from the blog “Accidental Learning’s and other things” for recommending this Novel – “The Forty Rules of Love” by the Turkish author Elif Shafak.
This one was a pure bliss from page beginning to page end. I could have easily read a hundred or two hundred more pages. There were some ‘plots’ or ‘decisions per say’ in the book which can call for a discussion but considering the message the book carries, they can easily be ignored.
A must read for all those who prefer to read love genre. This one will be in my favorites.
It talks deeply bout immensely needed element of life called – Love! One of the few books that I have finished reading in two days time ignoring all other works!
I cannot even tell you how happy I was when you started reading it. I am glad you felt what I had felt and read it in two days 😊

The first around 100 pages happened on one day. Then I had preserved the rest to be read on my birthday (4-5 days later) 🙂
It was a pleasure read. Thank you again for the recommendation. 🙂 Happy me!

It’s not a regular romance story. It talks about love in general.
