Book Review: Hallucination and Lovephobia: Fear of Love – Feminism – Law of Love by Amutha Mahendran

*Hallucination and Lovephobia* explores the tension between protective love and possessive control through Janani, a protagonist shaped by family trauma and a grief-induced hallucination. While the reviewer praises the novel's ambitious themes and patient, slow-burn romance, they criticize its uneven pacing, heavy-handed dialogue, and failure to fully resolve its most significant tonal inconsistencies.
