 How about an unusually exciting plane journey whereupon two passengers are traveling to Paris to crash the wedding of their exes and woo them back?

Tara Nath And Dev Thakur are coincidentally on the same flight from Mumbai en route to Paris to crash their exes’ wedding when their flight gets rerouted to Heathrow airport due to a volcanic eruption. Dev is miserably bankrupt after failing in his startup but wants to have one last chance to woo his ex-girlfriend Anagha back. On the other hand, Tara is unable to accept that her ex-boyfriend Matt cheated on her and chose Anagha. As fate would have it, their impulsive plans are interrupted and they are stuck with each other in the airport till flights resume. 

At first, they have an immense dislike for each other despite being co-passengers. Slowly they take to the other with friendly banter and realize that they have what the other lacks. Soon both of them are in a quandary—to get back their exes or to have a new life with each other. Will Dev and Tara be able to reach Paris in time to break the wedding? 

The author has used the real incident of air travel disruption after the 2010 Eyjafjallajökull eruption and beautifully woven a fictional story around it. The narration is fast-paced with the majority of the story taking place in one place – Heathrow airport. I liked how both the main characters progress and especially loved Dev’s character. There is an ample dose of humor sprinkled throughout with stunning descriptions of Paris!

I was tempted to pick this book by looking at its attractive cover and Anmol has surpassed my expectations by raising the bar to such a humorously witty story with adorable characters! I highly recommend this book for everyone especially beginners looking for a fun romantic read.
