When Opposites Meet by Sachin Garg: Book Review

'When Opposites Meet' by Sachin Garg is a new romantic fiction, which also has comical ingredients in it. The book is about six people whose lives are interlinked.

Ritwika Dua is in a wheelchair after she suffers from severe muscle atrophy. She has no one but her mother Indu and cousin Jayant. They live together.  Her teacher, Lokesh Nair discover and informs her that her muscle atrophy is due to a rare genetic disorder known as Lamin Gene Mutation. Ritwika then meets Chetan Jadhav, who is a national level athlete. He too has the same genetic disease but in his case, the muscles are well-developed. Gradually a strong bond develops between the two.

Indu Dua, Riwitika's mother meets Professor Nair and falls in love with him. He too develops the same for her.

Jayant was a very quiet young man, who was deeply shocked at his sudden demise of his parents. But his life take a turn for good when he meets Aditi Sharma, an extrovert and down-to-earth girl. She aims to be the biggest Youtube celebrity of the country.

Now comes the dilemma. 

Ritwika and Chetan are physically opposite couples.

Indu and Lokesh are socially opposite couples.

Jayant and Aditi are emotionally opposite couples.

So, this book fundamentally tells us what actually happens when people with opposite sex and characters meet. Do they attract each other? Do they fall and stay in love?

The plot is ordinary. I was not that impressed by it. However, some parts of the book are damn good.

What I particularly loved about the story is that it focused on the relationships between three different generations. The author has well developed each of the characters and there is uniqueness in them. The story is fast-paced and a page-turner by all means.  The use of lucid and simple lingua franca makes it an easy read.

This book is a nice non-serious light read. You can surely give it a chance.  Overall it is a refreshing read. Romance fiction lovers will find this book as a delight.
