Prajakta Koli’s debut novel, Too Good to Be True, is a charming attempt at capturing the magic of relationships and everyday life. With her signature humor and relatable storytelling, she brings a sense of familiarity to the pages, making it an easy and enjoyable read.
While the book has its heartwarming moments, the plot feels somewhat predictable. As a frequent reader, I noticed that the storyline mirrors themes and tropes commonly found in other books. This took away some of the excitement, though it doesn’t completely diminish the book’s appeal.
What kept me engaged were the characters and their chemistry. The way Prajakta portrays their interactions—full of witty banter, emotional depth, and sincere moments—makes the story come alive. Even if the plot feels familiar, the characters bring a sense of comfort and charm that is hard to ignore.
As a debut, Too Good to Be True is a good effort that showcases Prajakta Koli’s potential as a writer. While it may not break new ground, it’s a feel-good read perfect for when you’re in the mood for something light and entertaining.
