Book Summary
12 Years: My Messed-Up Love Story is a contemporary romance novel by Indian bestselling author Chetan Bhagat that explores the complicated modern relationship between Saket, a 33-year-old struggling stand-up comic, and Payal, a 21-year-old rising private equity professional. Despite their differences in age, background, and life experience, the two are irresistibly drawn to each other, which leads them into a relationship that challenges conventional expectations of love, lust, and commitment. Through their journey, the book asks readers to think about what love truly means in a world of shifting relationship norms and to consider how people decide if someone is “the one” especially when the odds are stacked against them. It mixes humour, emotional moments, and social commentary in a style typical of Bhagat’s novels.
