Review of The Blue butterfly
The Blue Butterfly by Dixy Gandhi is a romance, family, and drama novel that depicts the tale of Antra Jaisin, popularly known as AJ by her friends and relatives.
AJ lost her mom at the age of 10, and her elder brother Abir left home because he was angry about his father taking in another wife when his mom recently died. At 15, Antra Jaisin was still devastated by her mother's loss. She became alone and had no one to confide in; her only way to cope with the pain was by gaming or doing nostalgic activities with every spare moment she had. These new attitudes affected her grades in school and led to her detention. In detention, she met Ryan, a senior, who spoke freely with her and not in a pitiful way as others did. They became best friends, and Ryan was the only one who was there for AJ. When it got close to Ryan's graduation, Ryan had to leave for the States to pursue his studies in software. When he saw AJ crying, he consoled her and promised her he would always be there for her every step of the way in life. Did Ryan fulfill his promise to AJ? Did AJ's family finally come together after so many years of pain and grief? Find out more when you grab a copy of the novel The Blue Butterfly by Dixy Gandhi.
In my opinion, AJ and Ryan were soulmates; AJ felt she was dependent on Ryan, not knowing that Ryan felt the same way; Ryan was the only person in AJ's life who knew the way to her heart. I admired the relationship that they had; it was a bit rough and hurtful that they had to say their goodbyes when AJ was willing to take a bold step alone to put her life in her hands. It made me acknowledge Ryan's persistence in being ever-loving and caring for AJ even after many years; he made AJ perform their annual reboot when they were adults, and it left me excited that they performed the ritual after so many years. Another point that I loved about this novel was the friendship between Meera and AJ. Meera was the true definition of a real friend; she made it her priority to ensure that AJ had a life. During AJ's placement day, she didn't attend, but Meera had to do all things possible to convince her to be at Dr. Singh's office the next day.
I was confused when the character Veer was introduced in this novel, and as I figured out the truth about his identity, I felt it affected the storyline of the novel, and I wish the character Veer was indeed real and not a make-believe character created by AJ's imagination. The writer of this novel wrote it in English, but it was uneasy to comprehend in my opinion; I found it difficult to read some passages fluently without breakage, and it did affect my readability of this novel. These were the points that I found dislikeable about this novel.
As I have deduced some points in this novel because of the dislikes I mentioned earlier, I would wholeheartedly give this novel a rating of 4 out of 5 stars. I would also state that this novel has been professionally edited, as I encountered a few grammatical errors in my process of reading this novel.
I would recommend this novel to readers who love romance and drama fiction, as these themes are employed in this novel by the author. I would also recommend this novel to adult readers, as profane words were frequently used.
