Variables of Love MK Schiller 9781623421311 Books

When I first posted the release day blitz for Variables of Love, I was super intrigued and immediately one-clicked this baby. The premise was fabulous (I mean, who doesn’t love the idea of forbidden love) and there was DIVERSITY!!!! That alone was enough to make me happy dance all the way to Amazon. (I’m definitely tiring of the trope characters in new adult romance, let me just say.)

Then I started reading, and what I soon discovered was that Variables of Love was not just another love story. It was a story of tragedy and heartbreak, learning to find yourself when your a little broken. And yes, finding love during a time when you promised yourself that you couldn’t…and wouldn’t.

This is Meena and Ethan’s story. Two very different college seniors who just so happen to find each other when things weren’t exactly picturesque in their life. They are the calm for each other, although they have this electric chemistry that burns hot and wild. Unable to help themselves, they fall for each other…and they fall fast. Only they have a timeline on their love, because Meena is of Indian decent and her culture insists on arranged marriages. So what do these two crazy lovebirds do? They put a timeline on their relationship, and oh what a bad idea that is when love is involved.

I won’t be spoilery, it’s not my thing. But I will tell you the angst level in Variables of Love was high. A heartbreaking story that will make you look at your own life. Well, at least I did. :)

I didn’t fully connect with Meena like I wanted to. She had too many sides to her that I just couldn’t follow. One minute she’s a bit of a naive virgin and the next she’s skilled in all ways of life. (Sexual and Emotional) It was a tab bit unbelievable to me, but that really didn’t break away from the empathy I felt for her throughout the length. Because truly, I wasn’t her, or in her shoes.

Ethan was a good character, but his story was a little lacking compared to Meena’s. He didn’t necessarily have much of one, other than loving Meena, and trying to get her to be with him for forever. He was sweet, and definitely a man I enjoyed reading about.

So, the question is, would I recommend Variables of Love to others? Of course, especially to fans of New Adult. Like I said, it’s packed with diverse characters and loaded with angst and heart at the same time. I enjoyed the story, believe me, I just didn’t connect with it one hundred percent. But hey, what’s not for me could be for you! Just remember the subjectivity that is reading :)

Variables of Love MK Schiller 9781623421311 Books Reviews

4.5 stars!!! I have read both books from the In Other Words series, and truly loved them both; so I was anxious to get started with this one, as the synopsis was intriguing. It took me a minute to have the story engulf me, as I was letting myself get to bogged down in the semantics of all the math, philosophical phrases and hidden meanings; but once I got past that and let the couple's journey be the forefront, it had me. There was a forbidden nature behind this love story, that had me rooting for this couple from the onset. Ethan captured my heart right away; I loved his strength and vulnerability, his intelligence and candor. He is a pragmatists and a romantic all rolled into one gorgeous blue eyed package. Meena aka Sunshine took me a little longer to capture her essence; she came across as aloof yet enigmatic, with a quite charm and beauty that set her apart. She made an impression on Ethan, and literally took his breath away. Her attempts to work through her loss and pain of the past, was reeking havoc on her present, as she felt she was making the right decisions for her future.

I did enjoy this story; the author did a wonderful job helping the reader to understand the cultural diversity and familial dynamics of the characters. I fell a little short in my connection (or lack there of) with Meena. Some of her behavior and responses bothered me, and made it difficult to connect and love her like I need when the story goes beyond amazing. But what I also take from that, is that Meena's character was still in a phase of grief and mourning from her loss, and that is exactly what the author so brilliantly portrayed. This is definitely a story worth experiencing, and I was so happy with our "ever after". Thanks M.K. for another wonderful read.
You know how it such a let down when a book has such a strong start-then just kind of fizzles out toward the end? That's not this book! I found myself enjoying this book more and more as I read.
The writing started off a little stiff. It was mainly during the spoken parts. Maybe I just got into the flow of the story. It starting flowing a lot better by 25-30%. This is first person POV, alternating Meena & Ethan. They're both in their last year at Stanford. They have a meet-cute, and they are also in a class together. Ethan is almost too perfect of a guy. Then he did show his faults- which made him still gorgeous and sweet- but mortal.
Meena is Indian-American (1st generation) from the Boston area. Meena is torn between her parents wishes and her wants/desires/goals/dreams/Ethan (not necessarily in that order!). The first 1/3 or so seems like Meena is too back and forth about what she wants with Ethan. They do discuss this a lot so I won't spoil how they try to deal with that. I like the secondary characters- their friends at school & their parents.
The stronger and stronger story development is what I loved so much. I wanted to yell at my kindle and make it all right with these two. I really like MK Schiller's books. Like my friend seton said, this is one right up there with the Do Over. I loved reading about Meena-who is not like me at all. As different as Meena and Ethan are, they make a great couple. I read a review -that was more like a comment since the reader didn't even get halfway- then dnf'd (sorry, her loss, IMHO). She said that she could not relate to Meena. I couldn't either, and that is why I really got into this terrific love story. I want to read about people that are different from me. There is a lot to consider when love happens between two different cultures. Great ending & has an epilogue ^_^ I'd give this 4.75 stars & recommend this NA book. It takes place over approx 18 months- and there's growth in everyone.
