Review
'Hold my hand' is a story of an awkward boy, Deep, who is obsessed with books and libraries. His dream came true when he got a chance to test library cataloguing at ATS technologies in Hong Kong. First half of the story describes how his life was in school, his friends and his obsession with the books.
As soon as story describes his journey in Hong Kong, it took a new turn. Hong Kong is the place where the male protagonist meets his love of the life. Ahana, a beautiful girl in Hong Kong. She is not only stunningly beautiful but also she has a congenital disease which leave her blind. Together they explore Hong Kong, Ahana being Deep's guide by smells and sounds of the city.
Later, story took an unusual turn when Ahana's ex boyfriend enters their lives. Things look good until then but Deep has to return to India. Will their love survive this test of destiny?
This book is absolutely an innovative love story between the two with a powerful plot. I found it boring in the beginning but continued and ended up shocked with the surprising and unpredictable ending.
