ABOUT THE BOOK
Adam is your typical shy guy in school, with no thoughts towards romance outside of his daydreaming. However, that all changes one day, when he gets saved by an unlikely hero: Eve. Eve is one of the more popular girls in school, but maybe he had misjudged her. Rescued from her boyfriend, Adam can’t help but admire Eve. They quickly become good friends and the rest, as they say, is history.
Follow them as they grow from teenagers to adults and watch how their relationship evolves with them. As they explore themselves and figure out who they are, their love will change. With the assistance of their parents, who would love for them to be together, will it be enough? Will they end up on the same page? Or will the chapters they write forever be out of sync?
This is not the same Biblical tale you’re familiar with. She wasn’t made from his rib, and he had his own garden. With no god to guide them, nor a devil to deceive them, how would they envisage Eden? They were left alone to be victims of their hearts and hostages to their minds. He was the forbidden fruit, but would she bite?
MY REVIEW
This was a fresh spin on an old tale. You know the story of Adam and Eve, right? The one filled with a garden, a certain forbidden fruit, and a pretty big temptation? Well, what if I told you there’s a version out there that flips the script? Instead of the tired old biblical narrative, we dive into a heartfelt love story that spans the ups and downs of their lives. Trust me, this is no ordinary re-telling!
In this version, Adam is your classic shy guy with a big heart and poetic soul, while Eve is the selfish, confused, popular girl. Their paths cross, and what unfolds is a journey of friendship that blossoms into love. We get to follow them through their angst, the awkwardness of young love, and even into adulthood, where life throws them curveballs.
Ahmed gives the characters depth and allows for many relatable moments that tug at your heartstrings and make you cringe at the same moment. It shows how love can evolve and shift through different life phases.
That said, I think the writing could have used a little fine-tuning. I have to admit, there were parts where I felt like I was in a maze. Sometimes, I’d lose track of who was telling the story. But despite that hiccup, I enjoyed the story. It’s intriguing to witness the modern journey of Adam and Eve as they navigate love and the hardships of life.
Thank you to Mr. Ahmed for giving me the opportunity to read this book with no expectation of a positive review.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
I’ve been writing for as long as I can remember. Some of my earliest memories are arriving at school early and writing short stories before the day started. I’ve found a way to incorporate writing all throughout my life since, from stories, to journaling, to even writing guides and blog posts. My brain is constantly thinking of new ideas, if not fleshing out old ones. The Notes app on my phone has been a hero!
It’s always been my dream to publish a book. It didn’t need to be successful, it just had to be something I wrote. I was finally able to accomplish that, thanks to self-publishing. Now I have to find a new goal! It’s re-energised me to write even more, which I definitely intend on doing.
