Review
I really like reading love stories and this story connects well with me. It is a story that has happened to most of the people of this generation. It is just a 29 pages story which one could end in an hour or two. Though the book says it is fictional but still the feelings and character in the book that the author has drawn is real and connecting.
Book Cover & Title- The book cover and title are appropriate and according to the title and story of the book. Even the last line of the story justifies both of them. Kudos to the author for coming up with such a meaningful title that tells you at the starting only that the book is going to have promises which remained fulfilled.
Narration, Editing, and Language- I really didn't find any editing mistakes in the book. Narration and language were also simple and justifying.

# Title of the story.
# Cover.
# Sia and Dev as they both fulfilled their promises no matter what happened.
Overall, it is a very nice short story full of emotions and beautiful characters. I really wished that it could go a little more but still, the author taught us a lot in so little words. I never got the chance to read earlier works of the author but after reading this book, I really want to get my hands on them soon.
