Kismat Connection

Product Information

And finally, KISMAT is a love letter to love. Reading Arjun and Madhuri’s journeys to each other was such a treat. I could not stop rooting for them as Devarajan explored their nuanced histories and relationships for one another. Watching them grow to be the Best Possible Person for one another was a real joy. Ananya Devarajan is in her fourth and final year at the University of California, Irvine, where she is pursuing a major in Neurobiology and Behavior as well as a minor in English. After graduation, she will be attending medical school at the Touro College of Osteopathic Medicine in Middletown, New York. Like many of her characters, Ananya is a second-generation Indian American young adult. KISMAT CONNECTION is love if it were somehow squished down and turned into a book. This love and passion is seen throughout so many elements of the book, right from the beginning. Everything was so surface level and very sterile. There was no character development or plot or stakes. A book needs strong characters or strong action—or both, but at least one—and this had neither.

Madhuri is determined to break the prophecy of her mother's reading before time is up and when she creates an experiment of sorts with Arjun, she's sure she has the leg up here. Unfortunately for her, the universe has ways of following through with its plans even when you try your damnedest to get ahead. Arjun agrees to the experiment because he has only ever had eyes for Madhuri, and maybe this is his shot to make her see things the same as him but her determination has the power to get in between them if he's not careful.kismat connection> tells a story about a family curse and a girl determined to break it. according to her curse, madhuri iyer is doomed to a happily ever after with her FIRST boyfriend and also her upcoming senior year is set to be a complete failure. to prove everyone wrong madhuri starts a relationship with one person she knows she’ll never fall in love with: arjun mehta, her childhood best friend. what could go wrong?

We really don’t get a buildup of Madhuri and Arjun’s relationship. They start out as best friends with Arjun secretly in love Madhuri for years. Madhuri is constantly denying that she even likes him then like a switch she all of a sudden is in love with him. I also felt like a lot of the relationship building was done behind scenes. This could also be because it was hard to tell how much time went by between the scenes. We didn’t really get to see them grow their relationship, just them constantly having arguments about different things. Book Genre: Contemporary, Contemporary Romance, Fiction, India, Romance, Young Adult, Young Adult Contemporary experiment will have a deadline of [a date that corresponds with other important high school events] I think the character relationships and interactions were the weakest part of this book. Every singly interaction was so sterile, even the ones that were supposed to be messy. Every conversation was just people saying the perfect things and articulating their emotions verbatim. It felt like a scripted conversation you have in group therapy to practice using different skills. Like when you practice your “I Feels”. No one talks like that, and its so ingenuine and honestly boring to read. A book needs drama, and almost every argument in this book ended with a too-perfect apology within a paragraph. There was no emotions. It was robotic. Buch. Condition: Neu.

Kismat Connection by Ananya Devarajan – eBook Details

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. The side cast is wonderful with amazing depth and each character enhances the story even more. Personal favorite side character is Raina 😌 We love sister dynamics here. KISMAT CONNECTION doesn’t release until June 13, 2023. As of December 2022, I have now read this book THREE TIMES. Let me tell you why.Arjun and Madhuri’s relationship as friends and how it grew into something more, or even just learning that it could, looks like it's the focus of this story but there is so much self-acceptance you get to watch happen. Our two characters may be self-assured in some aspects of their life but this story just shows how much you have to learn about yourself in your senior year of high school.

Devarajan did a stunning job of combining some likeable characteristics with Madhuri’s more abrasive features. I certainly saw myself within her, and watching her grow throughout the story was endearing. KISMAT CONNECTION is love if it were somehow s

PDF / EPUB File Name: Kismat_Connection_-_Ananya_Devarajan.pdf, Kismat_Connection_-_Ananya_Devarajan.epub do you see my vision? in the book, she just writes out like, a hypothesis and a deadline. commit to the bit!

KISMAT is a love letter to communication. Not just in the sense that it was beautifully written and filled with evocative images, but with the honest communication between characters. It was really refreshing to read such clear and honest communication and to read characters who try their best to be as honest as they can with each other. I need more books with clear and honest communication!! i wanted to love this book so much, i even forced myself to finish it in hopes that it would turn out to be good in the end. sadly, it didn’t. Arjun and Madhuri both have the same culture and customs but they handle them very different. Arjun is proud of his culture while Madhuri is ashamed of it. And this makes sense because she was bullied multiple times about it. I just thought she was really rude to her mother when it came to some aspects of her culture. I think Madhuri could have handled it better. I was happy that near the end of the book she started to become more confident and she started to embrace her culture again. I actually started to like Madhuri near the end of the book. I thought that the culture talk throughout the book was very interesting. I loved getting to know more about the Indian culture and I even found myself looking things up after reading it in the book to try to understand more about it.
