"A cute and cosy romcom laden with the farcical fun of a fake engagement, will-they-won’t-they tension, and complicated connections with friends and family."
Naina Kumar’s Say You’ll Be My Jaan debut will have romcom fans unable to uncurl themselves from their favourite reading spot. Brimming with heart, hopes and will-they-won’t-they edge, it’s a breezy story that blends enemies-to-lovers banter with the classic trope of finding love along unexpected avenues.
After doing pretty much everything to find her soulmate — except arranged marriage — teacher and talented writer Meghna agrees to let her parents try to find her a match after her former boyfriend Seth ask her to be his “best man”. News of Seth’s engagement comes as a bolt from the blue — they’re best friends, Meghna’s the one who helps him out when he’s struggling with song lyrics. In fact, her input has seen Seth propelled into the song-writing spotlight.
So, determined not to attend Seth’s wedding without a date, Meghna agrees to meet her parents’ potential matches, which is how she comes to meet Karthik. Though his parents’ relationship has sworn him off marriage, he’s made a deal with his mother — he’ll date anyone she suggests for a year.
After a banter-packed first meeting, Meghna and Karthik agree to announce a fake engagement that has mutual benefits, and they set a three-month timeframe for their “engagement”. Of course, as is often the way with matters of the heart, you don’t always choose who you fall for, and love strikes when you least expect it…
As the wedding day approaches, the stage is set for a showdown of truths that’ll have romance fans hopping with hopeful anticipation.
