About the Author – Prajakta Koli

Prajakta Koli, fondly known as MostlySane, is one of India’s most beloved YouTubers, content creators, and now an author. She has made millions laugh with her witty sketches, heartfelt vlogs, and candid take on everyday life. With this debut novel, she translates her authenticity, warmth, and sharp observation of people into fiction, proving that she can tug at readers’ emotions just as easily as she makes them laugh on screen.

Blurb of the Book

The novel revolves around Avani and Aman, two young individuals navigating life, love, and misunderstandings in a world where everything seems “too good to be true.” Avani is smart, guarded, and wary of heartbreak, while Aman is warm, dependable, and carries his own shadows. When their worlds collide, sparks fly—but so do doubts, insecurities, and the timeless question: is love enough, or is it just too good to be true?

My Review

When I picked up Too Good to Be True, the title itself felt like a warning and a promise. The cover design—with its soft pastel tones and simple yet charming layout—immediately gave me the vibe of a heartfelt modern romance.

The story flows effortlessly, much like Prajakta’s storytelling style on her channel. Avani’s character resonated with me—her guarded heart and inner battles felt very real. Aman, on the other hand, is that classic “good guy” you secretly root for. Together, they represent the fragile yet hopeful dance of love in the digital age.

What I truly appreciated was how the book balances humor with depth. There are light, witty moments you’d expect from Prajakta, but also deeper undercurrents of self-doubt, family expectations, and emotional healing. It’s not just a love story—it’s about learning to trust again.

Pros & Cons

Pros:

Relatable and modern characters.

Breezy, conversational writing style—easy to read in one sitting.

Emotional depth balanced with humor.

Fresh debut that reflects millennial/Gen Z realities of love and relationships.

Cons:

At times, the pacing feels too quick; some conflicts resolve faster than expected.

Readers seeking heavy literary fiction might find it too light.

Final Summary

Too Good to Be True is exactly what its title suggests—a story that makes you question whether love can truly be this simple yet this complicated. With Avani and Aman, Prajakta Koli gives us characters who are flawed, funny, and real. The novel shines in its ability to mirror the dilemmas of our own lives while keeping us engaged with a heartwarming narrative.

It’s a perfect weekend read for those who want something light yet meaningful. If you’ve ever questioned love, trust, or timing, this book will definitely strike a chord.
