“Forget
Me Not, Stranger” is the third part of the novel Marry Me,
Stranger of Novoneel Chakraborty.
The first half of the book is interesting as you find Rivanah and Danny still
in love and enjoying their relationship. Stranger is still troublesome for her
and has now started to do more heinous activities with her. But he is now ready
to reveal himself and meet her soon. This makes it a page-turner and you will
find yourself finishing this book quite before than your average reading speed.
The book explores the characters from old books quite nicely and the new
characters also become familiar to you within few scenes itself. The
involvement of Rivanah's parents in the mystery is also an added value as you
know that something big is about to get disclosed in next few chapters.
This book is also narrated well keeping the same curiosity in the reader
for knowing who the STRANGER is. But coming to the drawback of this book which
is really a huge one:- The last chapter. Yes! The last chapter when the
stranger is finally revealed just depresses like anything. You just can't
introduce a new character in part 3 who has nothing to do with Rivanah in the
first 2.5 books and announce him as Stranger for whom we waited since the first
page of the first book. This whole concept of secret society in the end is not
what we waited for. Also how the character kept eye on Rivanah 24*7 and how he
managed to run away each time after trapping her isn't explained which takes
this book down quite a level indeed.
To see the truth, I am disappointed with author. I liked the first and
second books because it made me curious to read the book and the story was good
to hold till the end but the third didn’t.
The First book got me very interested. It was so beautifully enigmatic
that I couldn't keep that book down until it was finished. Second part was also
the same, followed by the third part. The story of Rivannah Banerjee's life was
taking twists and turns. But when the end of the story was revealed, it was a
huge disappointment. Because this poor ending had got all the previous parts in
vain. The story is not as interesting as the first and second part. Readers
had expectation on the book and wanted to know who the stranger but goes in the
vain. The curiosity dies within few pages.
