Blurb:Visually impaired author and current flavor of the Indian literary scene, Dev Arya, has not just triumphed against the odds in his life, he's annihilated them. He's got fame, fortune and floozies in abundance. And yet, he's lonely.
Cafe owner and only child to her dependent father, Avni Desai is broke, heartbroken and a true survivor. But no matter how hard she hustles, she's still struggling to stay afloat.
And then, one day, Dev walks into her cafe...and everything changes for both of them. From excellent tiramisu to ear shattering singing, from dramatic friends to accident prone sexcapades, they embark on the ride of a lifetime. Will it all be worth it though? Will two broken souls find a way to heal each other? Or do the fractures go so deep that there is no way for either of them to find the love they so deeply crave and yet can't seem to have?
My Take:
One
of the best reads this year. I loved the way the author adds flair and colors
to the leads. I loved the underplayed way, more like subtle yet effective. I
liked the strength the characters portrayed.
Dev,
a successful author and awesome at reading people with his sixth sense. Although
an accident has resulted in losing his eyes, he still has the zeal to live and
write about lives and weave magic with words.
Avni
is a café owner for who has worked hard to be where she is. Losing her Mom and
with dad physically disabled she, with some emotional support of her friends
who stand by her like a rock and a fiancee who also is a partner in her cafe life
looks promising to her but out of blue she is jolted out of her happily ever
after reverie and has to fight for what has been rightfully hers. Will she be
able to? How do Dev and Avni handle the attraction that threatens to turn to something
more meaningful and for life?
Do
they want that? Can they overcome their baggage’s and accept what life offers
them or will they develop a cold foot? Read the book to find out.
As
usual amazing narration and engaging story line. Full marks for capturing the
raw emotions in their most pure form. The reader can connect with what the
leads feel and why. The support characters
like Avnis friends, Devs lawyer friend and her father add spice to the story and
help it move forward with finesse.
Pick
this up and you won’t be disappointed.
