Kismat Connection

Product Information

From the New York Times bestselling author of Girl in Pieces comes a novel about love and loss and learning how to continue when it feels like you're surrounded by darkness.

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. Sadly, I couldn't connect with either one of the characters. I didn't particularly like Arjun and I didn't like Madhuri. Her stubbornness and the way she kept changing her mind about her relationship with Arjun was so annoying I honestly couldn't stand her most of the time. The RRP is the suggested or Recommended Retail Price of a product, set by the publisher or manufacturer. 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!! it disappoints me to give this such a low rating but… while i loved the representation and appreciated some of the family dynamics, the romance really let me down. i couldn’t connect with either of the main characters. best friends to lovers is one of my favourite developments in a romance, but here, i found it difficult to believe the friendship between arjun and madhuri let alone the romantic development. also, the fake dating/experiment plot confused me and just had me dreading what the fallout might be from the beginning.I normally love friends to lovers trope but the way it was done here.. Ehhh. It could have been way better. In this charming YA debut, a girl who’s determined to prove her star chart wrong ropes her longtime best friend into an experimentalrelationship—not knowing that he has been in love with her for years. 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. Forgotten the title or the author of a book?

select a boy to attempt to date. boy needs to have the following requirements: is not racist, is not popular, has some common interests, understands the deadline, will not fall in love with me, i will not fall in love with him 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.In a time of typewriters and steam engines, Iris Winnow awaits word from her older brother, who has enlisted on the side of Enva the Skyward goddess. Alcohol abuse led to her mother’s losing her job, and Iris has dropped out of school and found work utilizing her writing skills at the Oath Gazette. Hiding the stress of her home issues behind a brave face, Iris competes for valuable assignments that may one day earn her the coveted columnist position. Her rival for the job is handsome and wealthy Roman Kitt, whose prose entrances her so much she avoids reading his articles. At home, she writes cathartic letters to her brother, never posting them but instead placing them in her wardrobe, where they vanish overnight. One day Iris receives a reply, which, along with other events, pushes her to make dramatic life decisions. Magic plays a quiet role in this story, and readers may for a time forget there is anything supernatural going on. This is more of a wartime tale of broken families, inspired youths, and higher powers using people as pawns. It flirts with clichéd tropes but also takes some startling turns. Main characters are assumed White; same-sex marriages and gender equality at the warfront appear to be the norm in this world. A forbidden, secret affair proves that all’s fair in love and science—from New York Times bestselling author Ali Hazelwood. 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.

This book. I just don’t even have the words for it and for the talent this author has and the beauty she creates with her words. KISMAT CONNECTION has everything you could dream of: destiny, childhood-best-friends-to-lovers, ambitious girls, soft boys, amazing friends, gorgeous prose, and the family that shapes you both the one you’re born into and the one you find along the way. Disclaimer: I received this book from the publisher. This has not impacted my review which is unbiased and honest.) oh i absolutely hate to be doing this to a book with desi rep, but i could not flow with the writing at all because it didn't have any emotions (or chemistry between the leads) whatsoever. and the fake dating plot lost me if i have to be honest.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. go on 1 date per week. if no actual dating occurs, then the relationship was not a real attempt. both parties must converse at least once a day. In this charming YA debut, a girl who’s determined to prove her star chart wrong ropes her longtime best friend into a relationship experiment—not knowing that he has been in love with her for years.
