About The Book:

Chaotic people. Half-healed wounds. And a girl who claims she doesn’t believe in love—yet finds herself waiting anyway.

SAHIBA lives in Delhi with her Beeji, her sarcasm, and a solid reputation for never losing a fight—verbal or otherwise.

KABIR arrives from London with charm, ambition, and a knack for getting into trouble.

Both waited, but neither believed they’d meet again. Certainly not like this. Not with a kidnapping attempt, a crazy tuk tuk ride, old betrayals, and the most chic grandmother who refuses to age as her age-mates do—that is, quietly and without drama.

Between frisky banter, impossible parents, half-truths, and a love story that keeps dodging labels, their lives begin to tangle in ways that are hard to name but harder to ignore.

Witty, messy, and quietly tender, this is a story about the families we fight, the ones we choose, and the people who show up when we least expect them.

About The Author:

SOPHIA SANDHU was born in Germany and raised in India, but no matter where life took her, Delhi always had her heart — complaints, chaos, contradictions and all — like a beloved city you pretend to criticize but secretly adore.

She wasn’t a born writer, but she was always a storyteller. In a childhood powered more by people than technology, she grew up on stories at mealtimes — tales of lions and elephants, neighbors and friends — told by her kind and patient parents who answered every one of her endless questions. Her boundless curiosity earned her the nickname “Kyunki” for inventing explanations for things even she didn’t fully understand.

Sophia began writing in school when even the sweet old librarian’s books could no longer satisfy her curiosity — first for herself, then for friends and classmates who gathered around her like villagers under a peepal tree, wide-eyed at every twist in her tales.

Years later, and very unconventionally, she credits Arjun Kapoor (of course, the one from Kapoor & Sons) for giving her a playful nudge to take writing seriously again — a reminder that her love for Bollywood would always follow her, even through her busiest chapters.

Stories have remained her constant companion — a place she turns to for peace, for discovery, and above all, to connect with readers who might see a flicker of themselves in her characters, characters who once lived only in her imagination.
