About the Book:

Can Love only Hurt?

Or does it Heal?

'Meera was one "geeky" but sensible girl, with a good head firmly placed on her shoulders.

She never did anything wrong.

She never made any mischief.

Life was all about career, goals, and giving back to society. However, behind those heavy glasses was a young girl wanting to be loved but at the same time wary of falling for the wrong guy.

Things begin to change inadvertently as she crosses paths with Neil.

Would Neil be able to see past Meera? Would Meera be able to overcome her inherent insecurities?

Would love find a way?
