Kismat Connection

Kismat Connection

In this charming YA debut, a girl who's determined to prove her star chart wrong ropes her longtime best friend into an experimental relationship--not knowing that he has been in love with her for years. Is it possible to change your fate? Madhuri Iyer is doomed. Doomed for her upcoming senior year to be a total failure, according to her astrology-obsessed mother, and doomed to a happily ever after with her first boyfriend, according to her family curse. Determined to prove the existence of her free will, Madhuri devises an experimental relationship with the one boy she knows she'll never fall for: her childhood best friend, Arjun Mehta. But Arjun's feelings for her are a variable she didn't account for. As Madhuri starts to fall for her experimental boyfriend, she'll have to decide if charting her own destiny is worth breaking Arjun's heart--and her own.

I wanted more development from Madhuri, but I enjoyed the book despite that.

First of all let’s appreciate the cover, it’s so freaking pretty… When I first start reading, it seemed like the movie “kismat konnection” and I was like I already know what’s gonna happen. I thought to stop reading but then I gave it a go and wasn’t disappointed seeing it was entirely different. I didn’t really enjoy as much as I thought I would. The characters didn’t really have much development as I though they would. The only reason I liked this book was coz of arjun and madhuris mums bond

“there is no madhuri iyer without arjun mehta.” he smiled at her, slowly and then all at once. “and there is no arjun mehta without you.” this felt like watching a bollywood romcom, my favourite genre. madhuri, i don't know how to explain but i feel so seen due to you. and arjun, he's the boyfriend we all need. overachiever gf x supportive bf is my favourite trope from now on however, i really really disliked the third act breakup. i don't know if it's just me, but WHAT was the need to break up with arjun? he's literally the book boyfriend. hate to be honest though, all the character development was focused on madhuri and none on arjun
