Marry Me, Stranger
A**.
Captivating thriller but far fetched.
This is a captivating thriller no doubt. However I think the whole “stranger” concept is too far fetched and not easily digestible. In the initial part of the book it did seem like an intriguing mystery but as the story builds on it starts becoming less and less relatable and more “fantasy-like” losing touch with reality.It is still a decent read and I did end up buying the trilogy to find out the suspense which was underwhelming.

Exciting Read
Curiosity made me pick up the first 2 books of the Stranger Trilogy. I went ahead and bought the books with no expectations, a teeny bit anxious, as it was a new author. The synopsis was good enough so I thought no harm in trying out a new author and genre.On the outside it seems like a story of thousands of girls in big cities; away from home, trying to find success, love and happily ever afters’. That's where this story takes a turn and sees the protagonist fall in and out of love, her struggles with life, love, with self discoveries and being attracted to & loathing a stranger who has it in him to be her personal God as well Devil.The suspense and the mystery make this story a page turner. It has a gripping narration and gives the reader some questions to ponder over. There are times when I thought it's a stalker whose only aim is to harass the girl; after finishing book 1 I was forced to step back and wonder. Is he just a common stalker or he had some specific motivations. Only time will tell, once we know who Stranger is!!!I loved the story with its dark twists and turns, the excitement of new love, freedom in the big city. Well done to the writer.

A Perfect Suspense Thriller
Marry Me, Stranger by Novoneel Chakraborty is the first book in the Stranger Trilogy. This book gave birth to a character named 'Stranger' who is the core of this novel and the way he gets connected to the protagonist is the rest of the story. This novel has thrill, high voltage drama, romance, betrayal, suspense,mystery.The Cover and the Title surely grab the attention of the readers. The earlier cover shows a girl who has covered her face and her eyes have fear in them. This gives us a spooky picture but that is not horror. The title is surely eye catching. The hunger hunt of the reader ends only when he grabs the book and finishes it in one go.The Blurb is intriguing. I'm Rivanah Bannerjee, a young and independent girl living alone in Mumbai. My parents love me, my boyfriend adores me and I have a great job. But heres the thing-my life is in danger. Someones been following me around, watching my every move, trying to get control over my life. At first I thought it was a silly prank to gain my attention. My roomie suggested he must be a secret admirer. Is he? What he doesnt know is the police have set a trap to nab him. Soon I'll know if its simply a lovers obsession or there is more to it. BTW, I call him stranger.From the bestselling author of EX, how about a sin tonight? That kiss in the rain and A thing beyond forever comes a racy tale gravid with emotional twists, relationship quirks and mind-numbing revelations.The Plot is engaging and binds the readers till the end. The story is of an independent Bong girl, Rivanah Bannerjee who lives alone in Mumbai. She has a perfect life comprising of her loving parents and caring boyfriend. But life takes a turn when someone enters her life without her knowing and started taking interest in her life. That person is named as STRANGER by Rivannah.The book focusses on Love, Betrayal, Relationships and elements ofa perfect suspense thriller that often plays with the minds of the readers. The Characters are beautifully portrayed. Rivannah Bannerjee, an independent Bong who comes to Mumbai to do a job. She has a perfect fairy tale life and little did she know about the person whose following her like a nightmare. At times, he is a saviour, at times, he is dangerous and she is unable to figure out what he actually wants. This is totally getting on her nerves but this Stranger helps her as well as threatens her which is totally rhetorical. She has an amazing flatmate who soon turns out to be her confidante while the latter refuses to mix up much.We are introduced to Stranger through his acts and the way the author describes. Even the readers are confused whether its some prank or reality. He helps Rivannah, makes her independent and makes her life good by making her do amazing things which she doesnt want to do. But when she wants to know his indentity he threatens her. Still, they share some special bond which is yet to be uncovered. We are just told that the stranger has an amazing voice and it brings chills to Rivannah's spines.The style of writing is simple, clear and lucid. Some of the sentences are just so beautiful that you end up noting down in your diary. The descriptions are fantastic and they just make you more glued to the book. Novoneel has a unique style of writing as he ends up playing with the minds of the readers through his play of words. Once can picturise the whole book while reading it and its an easy read.

Interesting!
Its always hard to put a review when a plot is left unfinished. 'Marry Me, Stranger' being the first book of the triology has successfully managed us to stay connected till the very last page. A great number of questions has been left unsaid about the stranger that the author has to answer. If he sucessfully manages to do so, No wonder this triology is going to be a SAGA. The lead character has been very well portrayed and is expected to add more zeals in the upcoming parts of the triology.

Great story but if u have watched Hello Mimi.. Don't go for it.
No doubt it's a good story.. but when coming to a suspense story, u can't watch the same thing for the second tym. Knowing the characters before will not get u on. I bought this book after watching Hello mimi.! and find it to be non interesting.. I didn't read the summary before buying it just got it after reading good reviews or else i would have not bought it. The story is good and will keep on engaging u through out the story.

Amazing! Finished in a night!
I started reading the book at 12.30am and finished it by 6:15 am. It is so compelling. I regret not having ordered the next two books, even though all the reviews told me that the book ends at a compelling cliffhanger. Need to wait few days before the second and third books arrive! Amazing read! Some typos are there, but they can be excused with the amazing storytelling!
