Book review : Finest 15

I recently started reading this book called Finest 15 by Dr. Anamika Sen.
 Since the author is from a medical field the book too is based on the life of doctor named Ananya Singh. About her quest for being a doctor and finding the love of her life.
The author in her debut book wanted to write something about life, dreams and destiny in the middle of love , pain and separation.







Let's begin :

About the plot.

It is a story of a young girl , who was a bright student. Her family was well to go at first , she also attended school until one day when her mother was diagnosed with cervical cancer. Her father had to choose between her studies and her mother's medications. They moved to a small slum and they were extremely poor. Her father had left them to collect money for the treatment and she was left to serve her mom.
After the death of her mother, Ananya's father left her at an orphanage , where she spent a few months , fell in love with a boy called Ankit. She also gave speech therapy to Guddu who suffered from Down's syndrome.
The book is named Finest 15 aptly because it was the 15th year of Ananya's life that changed her life forever.
She was adopted by a rich family and finally after years of hard work she managed to own a chain of hospitals.
Well, she was diagnosed with cervical cancer just like her mother , she had one month to live. Wherein her colleagues suggested her to get married to Dr. Tapas Verma, a young divorcee neurosurgeon who was impotent according to them but turns out he was a frigid. Ananya asks him to marry her.
He agrees without knowing that she had cancer and was in her end stages.
Eventually she slips into a coma and Shefa, Ananya's colleague gives Tapas her diary to read. After reading her diary Tapas feels closer to Ananya than ever. He feels she was the one he was waiting for his entire life.
The later parts of the story are about how Tapas enlightened hope of life in her, how he built her hospitals, how he loved her unconditionally. Also how he deals with the conspiracy against Ananya by her colleagues.


What I liked about this book :

Well , first of all the book is very interesting.
I started reading the book, After two chapters I was completely hooked onto the  book.
I wanted to read more. I loved the fact that the plot is in 2025. I loved the way the story was framed, had perfect scripts from her diary , her past life , a letter from her to Tapas. It was amazing. While I was reading it, I was completely connected to the story.
The story is simple to relate.
The love angle , the exes , the ambitious girl are all relatable.
There was love, separation, betrayal, family, ambition and so many other emotions in the story. Totally loved it.
Why I would recommend this book to you?
Well, firstly the book is 160 pages. It can be finished in a day or two.
Secondly its a fictional story , hence you cannot predict the next part.
Thirdly it's worth a good read for some refreshment.

A big thankyou to the author for sending me a signed copy.
