Can you find love when you think you already have it
Shalini is new to L.A. Not new like from New York City newor even Kansas new. New like from India new. And in the U.S., she has it all wrong: the way she dresses, the way she talks, the way she wears her hair. And then there is the ring, which makes her way different from everyone elsebecause Shalini has been engaged since she was three to Vikram, back in India.
Shalinis life has been turned upside down. She doesnt fit in, her mom is depressed, and email is no substitute for being with Vikram.
But when she meets Toby at school, Shalinis heart gets turned upside down, too. Just looking at Toby makes her stomach flutter. She thinks she loves Vikram, but he never made her feel like this.
In Lovetorn, Shalini discovers that your heart ultimately makes its own choices, even when it seems as if your destiny has already been chosen.
