Love is so simple and yet people make it so complicated by their irrational decisions, immaturity and sometimes they need to sacrifice their love for someone ' s happiness. Love makes a person more alive, give a new purpose for life, motivation and change something inside you and makes you a better person. 

But what happens when you lose that special person because you were too naive to see that what is forging between both of you is special, something to be cherished for, something that is deep, something that you can't trade with the world 's entire money. When you realised it, and it is too late then what remains is the beautiful memories.

Love is the strongest emotion one can feel but yet it is one of the relations that are tied by the fragile thread and needs to be nurtured properly. It can be the moment before you are going to marry someone and a feeling hits to you that you are still in love with that special person and after 3 years you decide to visit that person again but not everyone is lucky like Allie and Noha to be united again. Even if people do not move on from the love they have for someone, they still move on in their life. Don't they.?? They are supposed to move on for their loved ones. And again the reality of life separates them. These short stories give this kind of sensation.

A lot like love reveals the human side of survival called hope; hope on which every lining being thrived, the hope which at times is also lost. 

Stories travelling the test of time, characters infusing blood of fire, this book brings to the readers, how deep and passionate life 's purpose can be, how in an insipid land of imaginations, can connect with the most fertile of hearts. I really loved the way in which the author has magically woven the words to describe the emotion and the narration is quite smooth and lovely. Narration will keep you engaged but you would feel the pinch in your heart for the 'A lot like love' kind of love. Language is easy. The title is attractive but i think the cover is really simple. I would recommend this book to every book lover.
