The #cover: The image is of #betta a #siamese fighting fish. It’s a magnificent creature that developed the capabilities it needed to survive in the wild.
The SURVIVAL INSTINCTS are the CORE of the story.
There are 2 main characters: Michelle & Don.
Michelle grew up as an overweight girl.
Her body fat percentage had always been a topic of discussion in her home, so she moved away, the first chance she got.
She says that she is content & confident in her appearance & she’s fine but deep inside, she knows she’s longing for a change.
Don is also suffering from #obesity but due to some unfortunate & completely different circumstances.
He too answers all those caring for his well-being that he’s in complete control & capable of making a change whenever he wants to, but even he can’t remember when was the last time he wanted to put his life back on its health path.
He was a popular boy, the desired stud & the hottie in his student days but the loss of his wife & unborn son together, led him to seek solace in food.
When we lose someone, we search unconsciously for a resemblance, no matter how minute with them, in the world around us.
How these two try to find their way towards each other..is penned down further in the book..but it’s no less than a roller coaster ride.
On one hand, Don is searching for what he has lost & on the other, Michelle is a person who’s afraid of change.
Reading this book, one can relate with it at some point or the other.
It feels like a journey going through the lives of Michelle & Don.
The characters & their struggles are so realistic that they are able to easily touch a chord with the reader.
Alona has a beautiful way with words.
This book talks about how people struggle with weight & body image, how & why did they end up there & why they don’t try or are unable to do something about it.
Alona has become one of my new favourite authors.
It’s refreshing to read about how normal people try to manoeuvre through life & it’s hurdles & not about the fairytale romance between two perfect fictional characters.
This is one read wherein you will laugh & cry both & it will inspire you to find the light within you.
Moral of the story- You are wonderful just as you are.
Accept yourself.
You don’t need to be skinny to be happy.
Health should be our foremost priority always.
The book is beautiful & uplifting.
Available @amazondotin Rs 1135/- paperback & @amazonkindle Rs 284/-
