I'm Not Twenty Four... I've been nineteen for five years

It was one of my friend gave me this book to read during my journey back home.... I was glued and read half the book during that journey.... YES, I'm not Twenty Four... I've been nineteen for five years is one such book...
I was tired of the IIT'ans campus love stories with the prettiest girls in their campuses. Everyone was telling the same story with different character names. I was apprehensive before taking this book. But once I started reading I found a different story.

Saumya Kapoor- a mall hopper, party lover, MDI graduate who leads a "happening" life. She got posted in a village in Northern Karnataka. Her job profile is not suitable for girls. No shopping malls, no coffee shops and not even a cab to reach office from her guest house. Life takes a complete "U" turn for her when she cannot even wear the fashionable clothes she bought for her workplace. 

Shubhrodeep ShyamChaudhary- An IIM-Kolkata graduate, who went to many places like Brazil, Goa, Caribbean and many other places where he never stays for more than 90 days, a person  with strong smell of weed from his body and a mystery. He enters the life of Saumya and her friends. Well, if you are expecting another love story then you are wrong. They do not get into steamy love making or kissing every now and then. Two individuals- one is matured and another one is still in her teenage mentally.... - Life is strange. Life is even more strange when love happens with a stranger. How does it feel to fall in love with a guy who doesn't stay in one place for more than 90 days??? 

Will the lovestory happen here also? or is it just another crush of Soumya's life? Who is Shubhrodeep ShyamChaudhury actually?? To know these answers one needs to be glued till the last page and last line. Read it once and you won't regret at all. Sachin Garg has successfully executed this beautiful plot. Kudos to him for bringing this refreshing change among all the cliched campus love stories.
