Chetan Bhagat’s 12 Years My Messed Up Love Story is a passionate, messy, and highly relatable tale of love that thrives against all odds. Having journeyed through all of Bhagat’s earlier works, I can see how his storytelling has evolved and this book carries the relatable charm of 2 States and the emotional maturity of 400 Days, with a sharper focus on what keeps people together even when the world insists they shouldn’t be.
