Swipe Left-Himanshu Goel

Book: Swipe Left
Author: Himanshu Goel
Publisher: Amazon Kindle

Do you think that people you meet on Dating apps can be trusted?

Swipe Left by Himanshu Goel is the story of Naina, who after her breakup with Karan decides to try out a Dating App Mategram on the insistence of her friend. After multiple left swipes, she finally comes across Ranveer, a chef who captures her attention and she decides to go out on a date with him. While the date was as perfect as it could be, there were secrets that Ranveer hadn’t yet told her.

The short story is crafted well; however, it lacks in the essence of being a thriller. The premise of the story was excellent, but its execution was subpar that would make you feel inadequate after completing it. While the story progresses, one would expect some sort of thrill to happen, but it was is if the fizz went out of the soda. The climax was very anticlimactic and almost as if a sudden brake is applied on a fast-moving car.

The characters of the story are relatable, and the twists are good. The character of Ranveer could have had more depth as well.

Overall, a decent book that scores a 2.88/5 for me.
