About this ebook

What happens when two people who have completely different ideas about how the world works collide? Aarushi Dhanjani is an English professor at the University of Amsterdam, and Kartavya Nanda is a Booker Prize-nominated author looking to finish his next novel. He writes science fiction; she can’t stand it. She swoons over romance; he loathes the sight of it. She plans every step of her day; Kartavya doesn’t know where he will end up in the night. She likes to cook her own meals; he only knows to make coffee. She has a strong work ethic, and Kartavya works the way he wants. Will they teach each other to cherish the differences among them or will these differences pull them apart? Their paths cross multiple times, but are they meant to be?
