Sitara is so close to having it all figured out.
At 29, she’s a lawyer with a career that’s going nowhere and a love life that’s nothing short of a nightmare. Worse, she’s slowly becoming her colleague Nikhil’s ‘uncommitted’ plus-one—all while being spectacularly, hopelessly in love with him.
It’s fine. She’s fine. This is all completely normal.
Of course, Sitara has options: she could open her bakery or write that novel she’s been penning in her head for years, or finally turn her upcycling hobby into something that could make her truly happy—and pay the bills. Instead, she goes to work.
And then there’s Samar. Her sworn enemy. The headache that just won’t go away. The man, who has decided to take Sitara on as his personal project. He’s infuriating, charming and somehow lately, always around her.
As Sitara’s constant run ins with Samar threaten the carefully curated stability Sitara keeps close to her chest, she begins to wonder if she really is wasting her life.
With her feelings in disarray, Sitara has a choice to make—keep waiting to be chosen, or finally choose herself.
