Review: Just Missed!

Just Missed! by Himanshu Bhatia
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Blurb-

While we try to arrange marriages by matching horoscopes and compatibilities, we forget at times that “marriages are made in heaven”. We all love to say that Bollywood romantic movies are silly, and that they go overboard in their depiction of love, we actually secretly fantasize to be characters in them. Siddharth Gupta (lovingly called Sid) is an ISB alumnus, who is an ambitious perfectionist. He wants to go up the corporate ladder at a faster pace than his age, and is doing pretty well. In his matrimonial search, Sid meets Shreya Malhotra, who herself is an IIM graduate and very career oriented. He finds Shreya the epitome of the “Beauty with Brains” tag and develops a crush on her almost instantly. Shreya and Sid are going steady towards what looks like a ‘soon to be married’ state, but when has life been that simple! On her way to Bangkok for her friend’s bachelorette party, Shreya meets Shivam Malhotra, an IITian, with a living flirting tiger inside him. While Shivam’s cheesy lines ignite hatred in Shreya, it’s only the beginning of a story that doesn’t end in Thailand. “Just Married Missed!” is the journey of a practical arranged crush, chased by crazy filmy love. 


My views - 

Just Missed by Himanshu Bhatia is an romantic fiction based on a triangle love story. Siddharth was an assistant vice president in a private bank when he turns 27 his family decides to get siddharth married and register on matrimonial site. When one day he got interest from punjabi girl, Shreya malhotra and they meet over a coffee and discuss. Also following up with several meet ups when all going well as a speed bump on straight road shivam malhotra enters into their story, where road split into two. Hence from here read and know what happened further.

The author's command over story is good and perfect even though after half story it is little predictable author made it to look realistic with a solid characterization and narration. Vocabularies are simple and helps to read it by one go.

Overall, Just Missed is an story of missed marriage opportunity by a successful corporate person. A worth read for time as it goes and touch many essence of emotions.
