How Much Do You Love Me by @shankar.writer is a poignant meditation on heartbreak, healing, and the fragments of love that refuse to fade. The novel follows the protagonist nine months after the end of his six-year live-in relationship with Saira. Her absence is a presence in itself, lingering in the smallest details of his daily life. In an attempt to escape the torment of memory, he retreats to the mountains, only to encounter strangers whose wounds mirror his own. The book beautifully balances the raw ache of separation with the quiet strength of resilience. Through vivid prose and emotionally layered storytelling, the narrative portrays love not as something that neatly ends, but as a force that shapes, scars, and transforms. The writing is simple and oscillates between lyrical poetry and heartfelt introspection, drawing readers into the protagonist’s journey of loss, reflection, and unexpected closure. Supporting characters such as Vishwa, Tulasi, and Kalyani enrich the story, each representing different shades of pain and healing. To top it all, the climax is surprising, offering a conclusion that lingers long after the last page. This book is a tender reminder that even in love’s absence, its echo can teach us the truest meaning of letting go.
