@i_am_rhibhu ‘s Something Like a Dream is a stirring exploration of ambition, resilience, and identity told through the lens of Nikita, an ex-Olympian determined to carve her place in the unforgiving world of MMA. What begins as a seemingly straightforward underdog narrative quickly deepens into a layered story about competition, relationships, and the emotional cost of chasing greatness. Nikita is not simply an archetype of grit; her doubts, insecurities, and vulnerabilities make her journey both relatable and compelling. The interplay with Samrat, whose worldview contrasts sharply with hers, adds tenderness and balance to the intensity of her struggles. Equally striking is Shrishti, Nikita’s childhood nemesis turned rival, whose success forces Nikita to grapple with envy, self-worth, and the fear of being overshadowed. These parallel arcs elevate the book from a tale of sporting triumph to a study of human resilience. Rhibhu’s prose is accessible, with vivid imagery that breathes life into the cage fights as well as the quiet, introspective moments. At times, however, the narrative leans heavily on melodrama, and certain developments—particularly in the romantic subplots—feel predictable. Despite this, Something Like a Dream is an inspiring and emotionally resonant read. It is less about victory in the ring and more about the internal battles that shape who we become. 📍 Note this #bookrecommendation if love stories, stories of self discovery, and character development is your jam!
