Lying Through My Teeth: Book Review

Author: Abhyudaya Shrivastava

Book Blurb:

Abhay, a dentist, has always been unlucky in love. The three women from his past, Zainab, Latika and Prakriti, come back and complicate his life. To make things worse, his parents are hell-bent on finding him a wife. Stuck in this situation, Abhay decides to lie his way out of his troubles…

My Review:

This is the lonely engineering guy story who has nothing better to do in life than think about girls…except here instead of an engineering student, the protagonist is a dentist. Which makes it even more sad as he is no longer a teen and a person of that age is expected to be a bit more mature.

Other than this, the characterization was too two dimentional. The girls in his life were so similar to each other that one can easily be replaced with the other and noone would know the difference.

The plot line of a guy who is surrounded by his love interests is now done to death, so if you have read even one book with this story line you will not find anything new here.

On the plus side, the pace of the story and the narration were good. The author gives details at the right moment and knows when to end the scene. One knows that he knows his dentistry as the parts where the protagonist is treating the patients are carefully crafted.

All in all, you can give this one a miss. I rate this book a 1 out of 4.
