Book Review # 88: Girl from Fatehpur : Sarita Varma

Blurb:

“I love you Rajan,” she had blurted out, hands clenched tightly at her sides.
"Sana, you are only a kid…you will soon forget all this. Besides, don’t you also love Shahrukh Khan?”
A decade has gone by and Sanjana, now a highflying professional in Mumbai, thought she was over her childhood crush on the enigmatic Rajan. Back in her hometown Fatehpur for a family wedding, she bumps into him; he’s still enigmatic and the sparks are still there. Just when things begin to heat up, though, in walks Krish, a colleague from Mumbai, who seems to be very possessive of Sanjana…

My Take:


A myriad of emotions.  A known story written in an enchanting manner. Somehow forgetting first love is always difficult they say. Sanjana seems to be facing the same dilemma. She thought she is over her first love, Rajan and ready to move on but when she comes face to face with him after a decade she realizes she is still in the same zone. Her emotions are still the same.
Krish, a collegue cum friend seems to have developed a soft corner for her and wanting to marry her. He is possessive and takes her for granted and assumes a lot. Who will Sanjana chose? Read the book to find out.

The characters are well etched and narration simple. The book is a breezy read. Can be finished in a day.

I would read this 3.8/5 for a feel good read.
