From one of India’s favorite poets comes his first romance novel—a story that will stay with you forever.
What if you were forced to say goodbye to the only person who ever loved you?
When Aashna loses everything and her parents refuse to love her, she is sent to boarding school.
Eventually, she realizes she had left her heart open, and someone decides to break into it—a tall, handsome (a bit too much), straight-out-of-the-movies guy who loves her with his whole heart.
But every time she goes back home, she meets an absence that will not let her sleep and a nightmare of a presence. Painfully tired of the hurt, she becomes what her mother could never be: a leaver.
With off-the-charts chemistry, witty conversations, and unexpected plot twists, I Cannot Say Goodbye to You is the story of Aashna and the people she loves (and loses).
P.S. Keep a tissue box nearby, since, you know, Rithvik wrote this novel.
