Durjoy Datta’ s World’s Best Boyfriend is a heartwarming and emotionally charged novel that explores love, betrayal, redemption, and the complexities of human relationships. Published in 2015, the book is a rollercoaster ride through the lives of two flawed individuals, Dhruv and Aranya, whose journey of love and hate will leave readers deeply moved.
The story revolves around Dhruv, a troubled young man who is cynical about life, and Aranya, an unconventional, strong-willed girl battling societal prejudices due to her physical appearance. Their lives are intertwined through a series of coincidences, misunderstandings, and personal struggles.
Durjoy Datta delves into the imperfections of his characters, painting them as real and multidimensional. Dhruv is not the typical charming protagonist; he is bitter, flawed, and often unlikable. Aranya, on the other hand, is a fierce yet vulnerable character, who refuses to let societal norms define her. The friction and chemistry between these two polar opposites create an engaging narrative that oscillates between moments of intense conflict and tender vulnerability.
The author masterfully captures the complexities of human emotions, particularly the thin line between love and hate. The story explores themes such as body image issues, self-worth, parental expectations, and the impact of past trauma. These themes are intricately woven into the plot, making the novel more than just a love story. It is also a commentary on societal judgments and the struggles of self-acceptance. but in some where narrator used obsence language thats give some negative inpact on the readers .
