That's My Love Story

Adult; Romance; (Market)

That’s My Love Story is a thought-provoking novel about the blurred lines between love and lust, adventure and personal journey. This story is for anyone who needs inspiration and motivation that there is another side to pain. After experiencing deep pain and failure in relationships with several women, Prem, the young man has decided to quit life by jumping from a mountain cliff. But it takes twenty-four hours, on foot, to reach the cliff. Heartbroken and suicidal, he is yet riding high on the adventurous journey. On his way, Prem meets the old man who lives at the top of it. This old man is wise, smart, and intelligent and very similar to a spiritual guru. Together they both set forth on a journey—a journey of self-discovery, of immense discussion, and … about love. Why has he met the old man? What will happen to the heartbroken young man? Why would he plan to commit suicide by jumping from an inhabited spot? What lessons will Prem learn from his journey? Will he live or die for love? Why is this lover’s journey with an old man important? All answers lie in the story.

Bil Howard for Readers' Favorite

That’s My Love Story by Santosh Kalwar is a wonderful story full of very good object lessons and very sound advice. I am intrigued by the story and its development. I think that the plot and the characterization is well done. The publisher, Mahaveer, obviously recognized the value of this story. There have recently been many excellent books from writers out of India, which are top notch and show a great depth of feeling and wisdom in their work. I love this story.

Cindi Clubbs for Read For Your Future

That's My Love Story is a sweet and simple story about Prem, a lovesick young man who simply has no luck with the ladies. The book starts off with Prem and an old man climbing a mountain and discussing life. Or rather, the old man is imparting his wisdom on Prem. I have to say this was my favorite part of the book as pure golden nuggets of wisdom rolled off the older man's tongue. Eventually, Prem decides to tell the old man his sad story from birth to the present. This next part of the book is fast-reading and very interesting as it follows the life of a young man born of Indian parents living in Nepal. The grammar is a bit off, which made reading the story seem like taking a peek into someone's journal. Nothing is left out in this re-telling, including trips to prostitutes, smoking dope, masturbation. However, it is told very simply and without exaggeration or arrogance, as if a child was writing this. In actuality, Prem is allowing the reader to follow him as he grows up so much of this reminiscence IS told from a child-like view. The ending was very quick, a little too quick for me, but it was highly satisfying. If you want to read a feel-good book that also makes you think about life and love with new eyes, this is the story for you!

I nurture a sincere empathy for you, because being a science student you could venture to ride on a fiction, albeit fiercely based on your personal life. Bravo!

Interesting this idea of when dreams are shattered, then the mind rules over the soul.

Stephanie Lasley for The Kindle Book Review

This powerful and profoundly inspirational story is a tale of a man named Prem. Throughout this book Prem is mostly reflecting back on his life. He reveals the sadness he felt as a child growing up in Nepal, and all the bullying he had to endure through school. He also recounts the deep loneliness and depression he suffered due to failed attempts at love. He even recalls his desire to commit suicide. That's My Love Story, written by Santosh Kalwar is basically a well penned, poetically written, positive motivational read for people who struggle dealing with life lessons and coping with failure.
