Review:
This story has been written from heart. You will not find
any manipulations done to the plot. The story is rich in emotions. There are
moments where you will smile and a few will make you cry. However, I felt that a few incidents were
exaggerated. The pace of this novel was steady. The narration has been done in
third person. I feel if it was done in first person, it would have created more
emotional impact on the minds of the readers. The novel seems exciting at the
beginning but kind of loses its charm in between. However, as you reach the end
it builds up that interest in you again. The language is simple and the story
touches the heart. Shagun, the protagonist, is the brave girl and you will
surely learn many lessons from her.
Likes:
- Shagun’s dedication towards her studies.
- Shagun’s love for her father.
- Shagun’s love for Vikrant.
- Shagun’s and Arihant’s relationship.
Dislikes:
- There are a few grammar mistakes.
- I personally did not like the death scene.
I rate:
Cover: 2.5/5
Characters: 3/5
Story: 3.5/5
My overall rating for ‘Daddy’s Little Girl’ is 3.5/5 stars.
