Alara who believes Elisha is her mother goes back to Goa to search for her mother, as she still hopes she is alive somewhere, albeit under a hidden identity. Aarav, a young student from Goa who interns with bank to support his family financially and an aspiring standup comedian, hopes to meet Elisha at least once in his life after hearing about her in Goa. Ricky the old and crazy guy who is owner of Ricky’s Shack in Goa, friend of Elisha from childhood, wishes he never ever met her. What is the secret behind Elisha and who among these three will find her and how this search will change their lives forever forms the rest of the story.The story is about Alara searching for Elisha and in the process meeting Aarav and Ricky among others in Goa, but at the end, each of them realize they are searching for something more than a missing person. And that is exactly what the title translates into — You live only once. Alara and Ricky steal the show with their strong characterizations and while Aarav starts off well, his character does not grow even though he is one of the three protagonists. Aarav lacks the layers that the other two have, may be since his life does not have as much pain and heart break as the other two go through.Goa is the next major character is this story, as Goa and majorly Palolem beach are more than a backdrop and location; they are the soul of the book. The author has done an amazing job in vividly describing the locations to transport reader to a different world. This is the second outing of the author Stuti after her highly successful debut OTOR and I personally found her writing has grown exponentially. While the first half is perfect with unique characters, their struggles, in the middle of the picturesque Goa, the actual intent of finding Elisha slowly takes a backseat in the second half, as the characters and their internal turmoil take up the story.The author weaves magic with her words, as the thoughts of Alara and Ricky are pure bliss; their thoughts and emotions are compelling. The quotes at the start of each chapter are interesting; Aarva’s standup acts though impressive could have been better presented. Pick this one for an enigmatic story that is coming-of-age filled with music, fun, love and much more. You live only once is an experience that every reader should drown in at least once. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Read *by on Reviewed in India 8 July 2025* A Beautifully Moving Read – Ricky Will Stay With Me ForeverI just finished this book, and honestly, while many stories can be written in similar ways, what truly made this one unforgettable for me was Ricky. His presence in the story made all the difference. I loved him in every role mentor, lover, inspiration, and finally, as a husband. He felt so real and deeply human that he stayed with me long after I closed the book.This is the second book I’ve read by this author, and I’m genuinely grateful to her. While reading, there were so many moments when it felt like the book was speaking directly to me reminding me to chase my dreams and, most importantly, to love myself unapologetically.The book doesn’t shy away from heavy themes like suicide and societal expectations, and it handles them with sensitivity and honesty. The message is powerful and incredibly timely. It left me thinking deeply, feeling understood, and most of all feeling inspired.I’ve got more books by this author sitting in my TBR pile, and after this one, I’m moving them straight to the top. Thank you for writing such meaningful stories. Your words truly inspire. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good quality. *by on Reviewed in India 2 June 2026* Really a good book to read. ## Frequently Bought Together - You Only Live Once [Paperback] Changle Stuti - The Power of Your Subconscious Mind: Original Classic Edition | Premium Paperback --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nz/products/292201361-you-only-live-once](https://www.desertcart.nz/products/292201361-you-only-live-once) --- *Product available on Desertcart New Zealand* *Store origin: NZ* *Last updated: 2026-07-30*
