"Finding The Happener" by author Sharmistha Chakraborty is a simple and short story of self-discovery and finding love. Moreover, the novel also explores themes of love, betrayal, deception, adventure, and destiny.
Saanvi was a dermatologist and was travelling from Mumbai to her hometown Bhubaneswar for her wedding. She meets a man named Daksh at the airport, and he was also travelling to the same place. Saanvi's parents had arranged her wedding with Sanjay, who used to work in Chicago. Saanvi had not met him before and didn't want to settle down so soon, but was doing so because of societal pressure. Sanjay was already married to another woman but was going to marry Saanvi. Why? How will Daksh cross Saanvi's path again? Will Saanvi ever get to know about Sanjay's truth?
I personally feel that we meet people for a reason, and nothing is a coincidence. Some accidental meetings make us find a true companion. Saanvi's character has been portrayed well, and I liked it. Some Bengali and other words are also used in the novel and author has also explained their meanings at the end of the book.
"Finding The Happener" is a short and fast-paced novel that you can easily read in a single day. Despite some minor errors, I found the story to be a good pick for anyone looking for a contemporary romance novel that has some twists and turns and ends on a good note.
