Kismat Connection features a conversation of destiny versus free will, culture versus identity, and of course a will love prevail plot.
Arjun believes in his prophecy based from the stars. Madhuri refuses to fall to the family curse of first true love and believes that she can will it away. As best friends they decide to sign a contract to "date" as a work around destiny. However, when Madhuri realizes it might be real, will she stick with it?
This book felt disjointed from the beginning. It felt like plot points were out of place and that conversations were missing. It never had an even flow and it was so sporadic in terms of how much time had passed between events or conversations. We were told too many things without experiencing enough of them. I wanted more connection between Madhuri and Arjun without it being so flat.
I never felt connected to Madhuri. She was very off-putting and leaned a little too hard into some stereotypes. Arjun was a little easier to connect with and I feel like his emotions came through more, especially in regards to his own home life. I did like that they knew each other so well, but were also so oblivious to their feelings. There were some good conversations about culture and main society using cultures as trends along with the main conversation of will versus fate.
