Sanjana is a small town girl trying to find her feet in Delhi as an Interior Designer. She stumbles on something, loses her footing and slips in front of Abhimanyu’s car. They get off on the wrong foot. He thinks of her as a con artist and she considers him as an arrogant and an insufferable man.
Was it coincidence or destiny but they meet again and again and eventually change their minds about each other. And fall in love too. Abhimanyu’s mother dislikes their association and points out the social differences between them and how Sanjana is so out of their league. In fact she even accuses her to be a social climber. Understanding her point of view, Sanjana vanishes from Abhimanyu’s life. But will she be able to banish him from her thoughts? Will their paths cross again, someday? Will they ever overcome the odds?
Against All Odds has a classic plot of ‘rich-guy-falls-for-poor-girl’ with a spoilsport mother in tow. Sounds like a typical bollywood melodramatic movie? Right! But that’s where the similarity ends. The characters of Sanjana and Abhimanyu look real. Their dilemmas, their inner conflict portrayed in the story seems very realistic. In fact their romance develops slowly and gradually.
Against All Odds is a romantic story but has elements of suspense too. The twists and turns in the story make you wonder about will they/won’t they get together. The chemistry between the duo is crafted well by the author and the dialogues are sincere and genuine. The only dampener were the final few pages. I wished that the climax was handled a bit differently. It appeared to be a bit clichéd and a bit abrupt!
A light, breezy romantic read, yes that’s what Against All Odds is! Check it out!

I too would like to know how you read so fast ? 😀 Lovely review Shilpa. Abhimanyu has me enthralled too. Quiet a feat in a small novella right ?

LOL 😀 You bring books for us at such a break neck speed that reading one and picking up next is the only option we have, Rubina 😀
Glad you liked this review and Abhimanyu is quite a charmer! 🙂

A love story is a always a good read as it is not too gloomy or heavy but the strength of the characters and their interactions with each other make or break the story. This one looks like a winner, must try to get it. Thanks for the review.
