Book: Cupid is an Accountant

Have you ever hesitated in speaking out your feelings?

Cupid is an Accountant by Shreyas Joshi is a story of a guy in love, and his struggle of expressing the same to a girl, and the hurdles that lie in the way. Nightmares, dreams and friends, alcohol and deaf people. Like Murphy said, anything that can go wrong will go wrong. and it does.

The book is a short read and tells the story of James who is in Love with Jessica but is hesitating in professing the same to her. The plot basically traces the journey of James as he goes through ups and downs while preparing himself to propose to her. The idea of using a one-sided love story as a central plot point is good, but the author merely skims the subject. The situations that occur in the story set up a good premise, but they fail to engage the reader as the tonality is quite flat. There are moments that could have been interesting, but in the race to keep the story short, the details are sacrificed. The climax starts on a good note, and I would have expected something different, but while it is unique, it fails to be interesting.

Coming to the characters, James and Jessica are the primary characters, but there is very less information that is provided which results in difficulty in connecting with them on a deeper level. The character arcs could have been critical to establish the plot. While we get to know of James a bit, there is no information about the others.

Overall, a fast read about love which could have bene a bit more detailed to make it more enjoyable. The book scores a 3.63/5 for me.
