There have been many romance novels, and there will be many more, but I believe this will stand in front of all of them for many more years to come! This is one of the finest romance novels I have read! If Romeo and Juliet portrayed Elizabethan-Era love, Varun and Meera are the best examples of modern era love... Numerous books and movies speak about love, but seriously, this book is the most honest portrayal of love. Whoever reads it will undoubtedly suffer from a book-hangover for many days :)
