'Love is a fairy tale and life is a pleasant ride.' - This is what Anabya was taught growing up until she realized adulting business was far from a phrase that sounded like a cakewalk. From coming to terms with the fact that the one guy she was in love with actually loved her best friend, to witnessing their union before her eyes; from building walls around her heart and throwing away the key, to having to bear with an annoying neighbor who took pride in unbolting the strongest of locks, Anabya was so done with being an adult. All she needed was a good book, some shots of coffee and her bed, but unfortunately, her mum had other plans for in a desi society, a young daughter at home equated to match fixing day in and day night. So while Anabya was a strong, sassy woman, finishing her Masters in Psychology with a promising future ahead, all her mum, Nikhat, wanted was to see her married and well settled. And since no suitors had worked so far, she found her friend's son as the perfect choice. The only problem? Not only did Anabya have a heart that wasn't ready to fall in love, the person her mum suggested was that one neighbor she despised. A dramatic saga of heartbreak, love, emotional blackmail, faith in God, loss and victory packed in a captivating and humorous narrative, Bowled Over by the Broken is for the ones who love too deeply, or don't love at all. There's no in between.
