My Review - This book was recommended by my fellow reader & being it a best seller, I opted for this but it left me totally disappointed.
The story had no new surprises & felt that it was inspired by Bollywood movie " Yeh Jawani Hai deewani!. The dialogues " If two points are destined to touch, the universe will always find a way to make the connection- even when all hope seems to be lost " Doesnt it remind you of famous hindi dialogue from Shahrukh Khan movie?.
Coming back to the story, its about a girl Meera, who wants to be a writer & is in search of a story. Her search ends when she attends an author seminar in a Cafe where behind her is Vivaan, who dreams of travelling the world. After few pages, they meet up & he start narrating his story. During this time, 3rd character "Kabir’ comes who works in Cafe where Meera & Vivaan meet, has a very painful story( predictable) which involves Nisha, the 4th character who too has a painful secrets. Meera, Kabir& Vivaan become good friends & helps Kabir open his own cafe " Kafe Kabir ". All goes smoothly then one fine day Vivaan disappears without informing anyone. This left Meera depressed & leave her story incomplete. On other end, Vivaan fulfil his dream of travelling but miss Meera & so come back to reconcile. He meet up Meera, Kabir & Nisha at Kabir cafe. He explain Meera about his sudden disappearance & helps her completing her story by unlocking his painful past( its unrealistic) leaving her shock. Meera later met with a sudden tragic accident & Vivaan as expected take care( its surreal that she is in hospital & nothing mentioned about her family) & express his love. Happy Ending.
The characters were so unreal that I couldnt relate to any of them & the story was much predictable. Only connection I found was that the story is based in Pune( my hometown).My recommendation is not to read this & waste your precious time.
