Paperback / Hardback

The past crashes into Kareena’s present as her first love resurfaces after eighteen years, awakening desires she thought were long buried. As she struggles between two worlds, two men, and two versions of herself, her inner turmoil deepens when a stranger enters her life, further blurring the lines between loyalty and longing.
Meanwhile, Mouni, a teenager, witnesses two contrasting expressions of love—one driven by persistent pursuit, the other by selfless, serendipitous surrender.
Will the intense implications of love weigh upon the fragile heart of a woman and a girl on the cusp of understanding love? The First Connect explores love’s unpredictability, unravelling the complexities of lost love, being lost in love, and love lost in translation. Through delicate moments of magic and fleeting waves of whisper, it asks: does love thrive through conscious effort, or does it find its way through fate alone? And most importantly, what makes a First Connect truly flourish and feel real?
