Every time a reader connects with The Pink Cadillac, it fills me with renewed energy to keep writing. Recently, I came across a review by Sumit K that stood out—not just for its warmth and honesty, but also for how beautifully it captured the dual nature of the book: elegance and wildness intertwined. 

Sumit begins his review with the phrase: “Pure elegance with a touch of perversion.” I smiled when I read that. It’s a bold statement, but one that gets to the heart of what The Pink Cadillac really is—a story that dares to walk the fine line between beauty and chaos, passion and restraint. He calls the plot “bold and captivating,” which is exactly what I hoped readers would feel as they journeyed through different eras, unraveling the tangled lives of characters who are as haunted by their desires as they are shaped by them. 

What touched me most was Sumit’s insight into the emotional struggles of these characters. He noted how they “are unable to communicate their suppressed desires,” and how that inner conflict might seem perverted to some—but in truth, it’s deeply human. These characters are flawed, complex, and sometimes messy, but their authenticity is what I believe makes them unforgettable. 

Sumit also picked up on something important that I was very intentional about as a writer: balance. Yes, the book includes passion—“hot sexual adventures,” as he calls them—but only a few scenes are elaborated in full detail. The rest are restrained, wrapped up in a line or a paragraph, serving the story rather than overwhelming it. I deeply appreciate that Sumit recognized this, even stating: “This demonstrates that the writer is focused on telling the story and not adding superfluous spice to the book.” As a writer, that kind of feedback is gold. It tells me the heart of the story wasn’t lost beneath the steam—it was carried forward by it. 

The emotional arc Sumit describes—“a journey filled with laughter and emotions,” where the story “sometimes tickles you and sometimes makes you sad”—is exactly the kind of reader experience I wanted to create. Life isn’t one-note, and neither are the stories I want to tell. I wanted The Pink Cadillac to feel like a ride through time, memory, desire, and grief—and I’m glad that came through for him. 

Perhaps one of the most flattering things he said was about the hardcover edition: “It must be purchased in hardcover because it will be a priceless addition to your collection.” I could not ask for a greater compliment than a reader wanting to keep my book on their shelf—not just to read once, but to return to. That’s every author’s dream. 

Yes, Sumit did mention that the price might feel a bit on the higher side—but his reassurance that “it is worth your time” and that the book “will stay in the mind of readers for a long time” meant the world to me. 

Thank you, Sumit, for reading The Pink Cadillac with such an open heart—and for putting into words what I hoped readers would feel. Your review has found a place in my blog because your voice now lives in the journey of this book too.
