“Sometimes we don’t realize the importance of a moment until it becomes a memory.”

“Some stories are meant to end but they still don’t leave us.”

“The problem with love is that it doesn’t come with a set of instructions.”

“You can’t control your heart, no matter how hard you try.”

“Love is about trust. You can’t expect someone to love you if you don’t trust them.”

“I think the most beautiful thing about love is its ability to make you forget the rest of the world.”

“In love, we always think we’ll find the perfect person, but what we don’t realize is that we’ll never be perfect for anyone else, and that’s okay.”

“People change, feelings fade, and sometimes love just isn’t enough.”

“The ones we love are the ones who hurt us the most.”

I recently picked up If It’s Not Forever, It’s Not Love, written by Durjoy Datta and Nikita Singh. The title itself feels heavy with emotion ,it makes you wonder: what is love if it’s not forever? Is it still love at all?

This book is a mix of romance, friendship, and self-discovery, but it’s also about pain, healing, and the idea that every love story leaves a mark.

The story begins with a man named Deb who narrowly escapes a bomb blast in Delhi. The incident shakes him so much that he starts questioning life and love. In the middle of the chaos, he finds a diary belonging to someone who didn’t survive the blast. Inside, he discovers a love story left incomplete.

Deb feels a strange responsibility to complete this story. With his girlfriend Avantika and his friend Shrey, he sets out on a journey to find the diary’s rightful owner or at least give closure to the love story that was cut short.

The story is emotional but not heavy ,it keeps you hooked with mystery, romance, and travel. The diary adds a fresh twist to the usual romance novel. The language is simple, making it a quick and engaging read.

If It’s Not Forever, It’s Not Love is not just a love story ,it’s also about second chances, finding closure, and realizing that love is powerful, whether it lasts forever or not.

If you’re someone who enjoys emotional, fast-paced love stories with a touch of mystery, this book will stay with you long after you finish it.
