Synopsis

What happens when opposites meet? When two completely different people find themselves drawn to each other? Can they really find happiness together? Can wheelchair-bound Ritwika find a chord that connects her to national-level athlete Chetan? Will Aditi’s irrepressible cheerfulness restart Jayant’s life, put on indefinite pause since his parents’ death? Does Indu, happily divorced, rediscover her faith in love with the reclusive Lokesh? When Opposites Meet is the story of three unlikely couples and the differences between them. It’s the story of love, and the possibility of finding it in the most unlikely of places.

My Take

When Opposites Meet by Sachin Garg is a romantic story revolving around the life of six individuals who are connected to each other. Ritika , a wheelchair bound girl lives with her mother Indu and cousin Jayant. She crosses path with Chetan , a well built athlete. She dislikes him at first but after knowing him , she finds a chord that connects them.

Jayant , who lost his parents in an accident lives with his aunt Indu and is a shy and introvert person. He turns reclusive after the loss of his parents but upon an encounter with Aditi while buying maggie , he gets attracted to the chirpy girl.

Indu , Ritika’s mother is a single woman who is content with life despite being persuaded by her daughter to give her life a second chance . But life takes a turn when she meets Lokesh who also happens to be the person researching upon Chetan after he was involved in a doping scandal.

The plot is well thought of and stands out in the contemporary romance genre. The writing style is lucid and connectable which is important for a book to strike a chord with the readers. The dialogues are hilarious at some point and the author has done a commendable work by giving equal importance to all characters. The story is narrated equally from the standpoint of all main characters which creates a balance and stability.

The strong point of the book is the introductory chapters where the author describes the characters before moving on with the main plot.

A simple looking book with a simple title yet a moving story .Recommended.
