Enjoy For Free Half Boyfriend Formulated By Judy Balan Accessible Through Audio Book

funny and warm, Half Boyfriend works not just as a parody and a gentle takedown of mainstream Indian pop culture but as a story in itself" Samit Basu

A fun and clever and shameless! parody of Chetan Bhagat's Half Girlfriend.


In Half Boyfriend, a feudal rich boy from a village courts a gorgeous city brat who has a weakness for lost causes.
They go through a series of pointless events and unbelievable coincidences in a deadend plot that has to end with the chauvinist sleeping with the girl.
I wish I came across this author earlier, I've never read Parody's before, this is my first time and I'm pretty much impressed with the level of accuracy the Authors went about mocking the choices DBag made in his books.
How he uses the typical trope and never grew as an author and everything not only Bollywood but every other Indian movie take for granted.
Such a joyful read this book is, terrible. A shameless parody that cracks you up in every chapter, I am simply in love with Half Boyfriend! It is hilarious, cheeky, and very innocently it has ripped apart mainstream novels by Chetan Bhagat that we secretly love to

read.


As the name suggests, Half Boyfriend is a parody of Chetan Bhagat's don't know how! famous novel, Half Girlfriend which was released with much fanfare.
Written by Judy Balan and Kishore Manohar, Half Boyfriend follows the story of a feudal rich boy from a village, Manav, who is basically a Prince and a gorgeous city girl Rhea who hails from a rich family and has a weakness for "Lost Causes".


Manav meets Rhea and falls in love with her, I am sorry, he doesn't fall in love, instead, he decides within minutes that he has found the next queen for his little kingdom.
Shamelessly, he starts stalking Rhea in an attempt to court her, woo her and then as cliched novels end, sleep with her into a marriage.


In between this awesome parody, you come across series of pointless events and unbelievable coincidences that make Mr, Bhagat what he is today, You see Rhea trying to get rid of Manav and her psychopathic behavior, you see her "lost cause" weakness taking over her brain sometimes, you meet a "Queen Villain" who doesn't want her son to replace her place in the kingdom.
She reminds me of Cersei Lannister of Game of Thrones but in an Indian way, Even the President of America graces the reader with his presence!

The beauty of Half Boyfriend is the "short version" at the start of each chapter.
Within few lines, the writers share with you what you will come across in the chapter, And theselines only will make you laugh! I mean I have never come across such creativity! Another point to note that Half Boyfriend is not just a parody of Chetan Bhagat's Half Girlfriend, it gives a bigger message related to Indian pop culture wherein there is a thin line between persistence and stalking, but is still pretty much ignored in Bhagat's writing.
As an important influencer, one should practice a little caution when it comes to writing on a mass scale,

Just like his books, prologue, and epilogue in Half Boyfriend has Chetan Bhagat visiting the protagonist, And out of the two, epilogue is something that you simply cannot miss! It has all the masala! The only place I felt stuck was in Chapter.
But then Judy and Kishore made it pretty clear in the short version that I will be like "Who the fuck is Allen" every time I read Allen!


All in all, Half Boyfriend was like one amazing break from serious reading for me.
It has Bollywood drama, villains, cheesy sidekicks, crazy crosscountry chases, a psychotic hero and damsel in distress, And for others, this is one book that you simply cannot miss,

And any which ways, secretly we all have a soft spot for Bhagat's books, so why not devour into the other awesome half of the story “We like the wrong sorts of girls, they wrote.
They are usually the ones worth writing about, ”

Synopsis:

A fun and clever and shameless! parody of Chetan Bhagat's Half Girlfriend,

In Half Boyfriend, a feudal rich boy from a village courts a gorgeous city brat who has a weakness for lost causes.
They go through a series of pointless events and unbelievable coincidences in a deadend plot that has to end with the chauvinist sleeping with the girl.



Manav, a rural Prince of a village in Bihar, meets the rich and posh Delhi girl, Rhea, Manav uses his charm of not speaking correct English to befriend Rhea but things get worse, when he practically starts stalking her and the girl had to get a restraining order, but Manav knows that Rhea is the one for his heart and no matter what, he will wait for her till she understands that she too loves him.
Yes the climax is predictable if you have read the book that is based on, but the story is so entertaining and funny, that it will keep the readers rooted.


Okay for my nonIndian friends, I must clarify a bit about Indian marriage system, Well in our country, people often marry within their or higher than their social strata, so most of the time, if a village guy, irrespective of his financial condition, proposes to a posh city girl, then it is obvious that he will get rejected by the girl.
Moreover, the society will judge the girl if she marries someone below her social status, What to do, this is way, how our narrowminded Indian society works! And kudos to such culture!!

So back to the review.
The authors have penned the tale with a myriad of emotions ranging from fun to poignant to anger and have strikingly portrayed them thus making their readers to feel the story deeply.
The authors writing style is strong yet it lacked from expressiveness, The narrative is light and at times will make the readers go completely ROFL, And thank god, the authors have not used that crappy Hinglish Hindi English language in the book, The readers will be impressed with the quality of the speech used in this book, The pacing is really fast as the story has an ability to arrest the minds of the readers right from the beginning and will keep them hooked till the very end.


The authors have used so many references in their book that point directly to Bhagat's book, Half Girlfriend, that will definitely amuse the readers, both a Bhagat fan and a nonBhagat fan.
This is a parody but that gives birth to a witty story laced with criticism to the original book,

The characters are an absolute fun and are highly realistic, The protagonist, Manav, is a determined young man, whose only aim is to win the heart of the girl who will be the princess/queen of his village.
He used improper English to stalking to waiting patiently to using people to other such slightly evil means to charm his lady love.
Manav will warm the hearts of the readers and will keep them glued till the very end, The rest of the supporting characters, like the three friends of Manav, to Manav's mother, they all will make the readers feel like reading about everyday flawed characters.
Overall, the characters of this book will keep the readers interested to the story,

Overall, this is an absolute treat for Chetan Bhagat haters and they must not miss out this book,

Verdict: An entertaining and hysterically funny parody of Chetan Bhagat's latest book,
