“2 States” by Chetan Bhagat is a delightful and engaging read. I found myself thoroughly enjoying the witty and humorous narrative, which brought to life the cultural clash between Krish and Ananya’s families. Bhagat does a fantastic job of balancing humor and emotional depth, making it easy to empathize with the characters’ struggles and triumphs.
The portrayal of the parents’ initial reluctance and eventual acceptance felt authentic, adding a layer of realism to the love story. The book’s depiction of Indian cultural diversity and the nuances of inter-caste marriages was both enlightening and entertaining.
What stood out to me was Bhagat’s ability to keep the tone light-hearted while addressing serious social issues. The relatable characters and their heartfelt journey made “2 States” a compelling read from start to finish. If you’re looking for a romantic comedy with a touch of social commentary, this book is a perfect choice.
