Love transcends distance, time and age. It's beyond the customs of the world around us that spin us into a frenzy. People meet, they fall in love, that's where your usual love story might end. But not this one. For this is not a love story, this is a story about love. When Nilanjana meets Vikram in the strangest circumstances, they fall in love with each other against all odds. The quintessential Bengali girl finds herself smitten by your not so spoilt Punjabi guy. But sometimes, life throws lemons at you and you ask yourself, is love enough to keep two people together? Come on the journey of a lifetime that makes you wonder, introspect, dive in your deepest thoughts, only to come out wiser. Experience anger, joy, surprise and love. Experience, LIFE.

My verdict: 

This story is set in contemporary India, it crosses the barriers of time and place. The book is edgy and unputdownable. The ending is too good . There are few places where the emotions were described in beautifully even with simpler words. The cover is very beautiful along with the narration. Sometimes, all we need is just one person who believes in us and who will never give up on us.

At places, the pace is way too fast while somewhere the pace is way too slow .

Sudden appearances of new characters is a bad idea, but if you ignore these mistakes then it's a nice read.
