'Lonely People Meet is a gorgeous, mind-bending, speculative thriller about love, identity, and the price of connection in a world where everything and everyone can be manipulated by Big Tech. I read it with fascination and absolute admiration. This is a profound and unforgettable debut that blurs the line between human and machine, memory and program, forcing us to question what it truly means to connect in an age of artificial intimacy'

MEENA KANDASAMY

'Gently humane but probing, this novel is eloquent on what draws us together as well as what we inevitably cast aside, whether it's relationships, inheritances, or the paper a gift is wrapped in'

AMIT CHAUDHURI

A truly unusual love story, tender and troubling at once, set in a world slipping from recognition

PRAYAAG AKBAR

'Lonely People Meet is not a novel of great dramatic turns; it is about the small tremors that run beneath our lives and makes for a good read. It asks what happens when we begin to question the truth of our memories and feelings.'

The Hindu

'A great debut novel, one that deserves to feature in the top ten of your must read list.'

Deccan Chronicle

'A compelling and quietly haunting first novel, it stays with you long after the final page, not just for the love story it tells, but for the unsettling questions it refuses to answer.'
