What make them all four binded together? What’s the story behind each one of them?
My Review – This book was recommended by my fellow reader and being it a best seller, I opted for this but it left me totally disappointed.
The story had no new surprises and 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 ” Doesn’t it remind you of famous Hindi dialog from Shahrukh Khan movie ?.
Coming back to the story, it’s entirely about a girl Meera, who wants to be a writer and 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 traveling the world. After few pages, they meet up and he start narrating his story. During this time, 3rd character “Kabir’ comes who works in same Cafe, has a very painful story (predictable) which involves Nisha, the 4th character who too has a painful secrets. Meera, Kabir and Vivaan become good friends and helps Kabir open his own cafe “Kafe Kabir “. All goes smoothly then one fine day Vivaan disappears without informing anyone. This left Meera depressed and leave her story incomplete. On other end, Vivaan fulfill his dream of traveling but miss Meera and so come back to reconcile. He meet up Meera, Kabir and Nisha at Kabir cafe. He explain Meera about his sudden disappearance and helps her completing her story by unlocking his painful past (it’s unrealistic) leaving her shock. Meera later met with a sudden tragic accident and Vivaan as expected take care (its surreal that she is in hospital and nothing mentioned about her family) and express his love. Happy Ending.
The characters were so unreal that I couldn’t relate to any of them and the story was much predictable. Only connection I found was that the story is based in Pune (my hometown).
