Love Lost and Found is a contemporary novel by Sameem Hassain that focuses on what building a bond with people means and how there are times when a relationship, be it one of friendship or one of love can blossom fom anyone. Meeting the right person, be it a lover, friend, colleague or stranger can sometimes change the way you look at life with a brief interaction. Ravi is a person that has a path to follow and would prefer it if he followed through. The wedding arrangements made by his parents is frustrating and I'd agree that ambushing him was not the solution to get him wed.
When he meets this little girl, he learns that sometimes you need to dig deep into your heart and open it up to the world because you cannot go through like alone. You always need someone who's there for you and as interesting as the plot was, nothing prepared me for the emotional ending.
I love the 'little girl' (who's name is revealed in the book but i won't be mentioning) and I feel that even though this is technically Ravi's story, she's the main star of the show!
The storyline and writing are good, however, I do think that certain parts are a little bit too filmy for my taste and there's a bit of romance which I (personally) didn't care for. But, other than that it was quite a good read with a lot a mysterious aura about it.
