Do you believe in teenage love? It's wonderful, isn't it? It's not so mature but still, it is magical. More so, when it happens for the first time. This story is written by Sumrit Shahi. A well known young writer. Young people and especially people at the age of 18, 19, 20 should read this book. It is about the love which happens  especially at this age. 

The author has played well with the words in this book. It actually gives a clear idea of teenage love, goals, future plans and whether such love in certain situations stays forever or comes to an end because of those circumstances. This is the reason why the title is "A lot like love... A li'l like chocolate".

It is a story about a girl, named Arnika and a boy, named Shadab. They are both 18. They get attracted to each other when they first see each other. First, they appreciate and admire each other's physical appearance and then, eventually get attached emotionally as well. They also share common interests. That's what brings them together.

They fall in love with each other, explore each other, get very much attached and finally arrive at a point where the two of them are forced to get separated by the boundaries of physical distance. Both of them are strong willed, goal oriented and look ahead for a bright career. But the distance comes in between their relationship. 

It is believed by many, and you will certainly agree that the root of love is trust, and loyalty also is as important as trust in any relationship. Some things go miserable when these two things are missing or to be more specific 'broken'. This is exactly what happens in this story. It really makes you think. It makes you think on the practical side, your career, your goal, your whole life! Many will agree that the idea of long distance relationship is complicated. Arnika and Shadab try to give it a shot. It is a fabulous story. A must read for teenagers. 

There is a lot of humour also that makes the book very very interesting. You will certainly laugh out loud when you read certain parts of it. And you will also see these words on the cover page of the book, "I laughed out loud at so many places, while reading this book. Strongly recommended"- Durjoy Datta. Yes, it is really humorous. I too recommend it.
