On the open road, is a story of Myra, Kabir and Sandy. Each one of them has their own struggles, their own reasons, but have a common dream, to have their own start-up. Myra- a developer, Kabir- Who runs his family Business, Sandy- who leaves college to work on his startup creating Apps, which isn’t successful. Will they step out of their comfort zone? will their dream of a startup come true? And there’s Ramy- who inspires millions from his blog, but no one has seen him, who is he?  There’s lot more to know.

First of all, I love the title and the cover. It’s super attractive. The plot of the story is amazing, I loved how it has so many twists and turns. The narration of the story is Crisp and smooth. I loved how the author narrated everyone’s struggle in a wonderful way. The way the author projected the situation, mindset of youth, thinking of families and social culture is commendable. She wonderfully narrated the battles, the social taboos. How women entrepreneurs are not encouraged, how startup ideas are rejected, how the struggle is.  The language used by the author is fresh and simple. The author has narrated the reality, that is something I loved the most. The pace of the book is little slow, but then it’s worth. The way all three met, the way they portrayed their idea is amazing.

Also also, the author wonderfully appraise the power of Social Media.  The flow of the book is smooth. one can easily connect with the story from the very first page. The characters that the author developed were amazing. I loved Mr Kashyap’s character the most. Well, each and every character had their own way of thinking, their own mindset, and the author portrayed it in a strong and beautiful way. The story as it proceeds becomes Interesting, and the end is something unexpected, something we cannot think of when it came to who is Ramy. There are various themes that you’ll notice. Love, heartbreak, friendship, depression, fear, ego, Suspense and lot more.

Well, it’s the most inspirational read in form of fiction. There are so many inspiring lines, phrases which I loved. Overall, Its a wonderful book with a strong plot, crisp narration, simple language and amazing characters.
