I picked up this Amazon bestseller to achieve my goal of reading more Indian English Literature and boy was I disappointed.
STUFF ON THE BACKCOVER SAYS
Meera, a fledgling writer who is in search of a story that can touch millions of lives.

Pull up a chair in Kafe Kabir and watch them explore friendship and love, writing their own pages of life from the cosy café to the ends of the world

THE GOOD
- Some inspirational talk in between
THE BAD
- The language is very simple
- Only two characters are given the limelight
- The story is unrealistic so many times
MY THOUGHTS
I have two main questions as to how can anyone chase someone for a story just because they look good and second why would any Indian parent not come to see their coma stricken daughter is beyond me. I did not like this book at all. Any one looking for an inspirational romance book with absolutely nothing else to do can go for this book.
MY RATINGS
1.5/5
