'Decodes love and relationships with unsparing existential clarity... Bhagat delivers another page-turner. A funny book but a serious one, holding a mirror up to the contemporary state of relationships.'- Amit Dixit, India Today

'A popcorn read - light, fast-paced and full of drama... The book manages to capture the emotional chaos of modern relationships with Bhagat's trademark readability.' - Aradhika Sharma, The Tribune


The blockbuster new love story by Chetan Bhagat.

He's 33. She's 21.

He's a struggling stand-up comic. She's a rising star in private equity.

He's divorced. She's never had a boyfriend.

He's Punjabi. She's from a conservative Jain family.

They shouldn't be together. But they can't stay apart.

Welcome to 12 Years: My Messed-Up Love Story.

Saket and Payal couldn't be more different-age, background, beliefs. Yet, they're drawn to each other in ways they can't explain. Is it just chemistry, or something deeper? Is it madness and lust, or is it love?

Unputdownable and thoroughly entertaining, 12 Years tries to answer the eternal question: How do you know if someone is the one - especially when everything says they're not?

From India's top-selling writer Chetan Bhagat comes a powerful new love story that will make you laugh, cry and rethink everything you know about love.

I like it but I would've liked it more. If Payal's characters also had to face some consequences or would have realised that when she is marrying someone else or not replying to the guy for the duration of 12 years he might find some one else even if it was an arrangement and he cannot switch off and switch on his life just because she appeared one day and wanted to reconnect over all the stories very beautiful keep you hooked until the end.

just not happy with the fact that Payal character is not realises that it was her to be at fault as well almost twice it was always Saket who has to suffer an issue to be blamed for that just messed me up! Overall, it's beautiful

It is a beautiful story. It keeps you hooked
