Book Review 

Let Love Take Over is written by Dubai-based author Tomson Robert. It is his third book. The story is about love and real-life struggles. Joshua is the protagonist of this story who is struggling with his past. Joshua used to be a dare-devil teenager who used to stand up and fight against wrong things. His grandpa always encouraged him to show courage and keep faith but Josh loses his best friend in one of the nasty fights that he had in his teenage years.

 

From that day onwards, his past continues to haunt him even in his adult years. 

One day his wife Susan complains to him about the misbehavior of her boss but Josh is caught between his past and present. He does not support his wife in this rift and she loses her temper and calls him a coward. 

 

The story is completely inspired by Bollywood movies. The first few chapters reminded me of Tere Naam movie as Josh a teenager takes up a fight with a Shetty gang. In that fight, he loses his best friend as he gets beaten up by one of the gang members. I cannot imagine a teenager fighting with strong, hardcore gangsters in a book except that I have seen in movies. 

 

In the corporate world, when Susan gets molested by her boss and again in this case, Josh does not stand up for her. There have been a lot of real-life stories I have read, heard, and experienced. Such molestation cases often go unnoticed and unheard. Common people like us suffer from its consequences even after quitting the job. Again, the author’s story failed to convince me of the scenario. Josh tries to become a hero and then shows up at Naresh Shetty’s residence and fight with him and his bodyguards. This scenario reminded me of Singham movie. In short, the story is full of Bollywood spice and did not stir any interest in me. 

 

The only part of this story I enjoyed was the ancient story of David and Goliath. People who like stories with Bollywood spice might enjoy this book. 

Writing Style

The writing style is very simple and casual.

The Book Cover & The Title

The book cover is not attractive at all. It is simply an image of two people holding coffee cups. The title is okay-ish.
