In discussing her debut, Prajakta reflected, “Writing this book was an incredible journey—like living with these characters, who feel as real to me as the people in my life. I love bookstores, which is why I've set one part of the story in a bookstore. As a fan, every time I see a book set in a bookstore which is also a cafe like this Crossword store, I instantly feel like 'This is great!' For me, storytelling is about relationships and emotions, and I hope readers can find a little piece of themselves in each character, just as I did while creating them.”
Too Good To Be True is a heartwarming romantic comedy that follows Avani, a young woman whose life is turned upside down when she meets Aman, a man who seems to have stepped out of her favourite romance novels. With Prajakta’s trademark charm and wit, the novel explores themes of love, friendship, and self-discovery in a relatable and touching way.
