About the Author: 

Himanshu Rai is a telecom professional and storytelling has been his hobby. My Mute Girlfriend is his third novel, reminiscing his college days. His way of writing is often termed as visual writing, because a reader can visualize all the action with great ease.

Blurb:

“That day I realized I had lost her forever. I had lost
her smile, her friendship, her voice…
But still, somewhere in my heart, I believed her to be
my girlfriend. My mute girlfriend.”

Rohan is a telecom professional posted in Meerut and misses his
girlfriend from college days, who had stopped interacting with him,
without giving any reason. Although she had always stood by his side
and her eyes reflected immense love, but she remained his mute
girlfriend.
The book opens with an SMS from Vaidehi to Rohan, after five long
years. But before he could reply, his mobile gets damaged and he
wanders in his memories to narrate a story. About how his girlfriend
became his mute girlfriend after the first year of their engineering
college.
My Mute Girlfriend is a true romance story of how Rohan unravels the
answers to why Vaidehi was mute for so long, and how their life is about
to change. But little do they know that the worst is yet to come.

My Verdict: 

The title of the novel 'My Mute girlfriend' is apt and just. Cover page is good, but it needs more improvement. 

The story revolves around Rohan, his childhood love Navya and Vaidehi. This is a college day love story that is different from other stories. The plot is pretty catchy as most youth would compare it with day to day lives and having a “mute girlfriend” is what many-a-guy faced in their lifetime. The characters are well developed and an account of every main character is given separately, which is a nice idea to keep the readers involved.  The family bonding, the relation between parents and their children, the sibling love between Rohan & Surbhi, the pain and crying heart of a parents, everything has been portrayed in this story in a very beautiful way.  Language is simple, yet beautiful. Plot is 90's college life. So one can relate the story with their own life. Characters seem to be real. I think this is a real life inspirational story. Much recommended for romance story lover.
