Anya Chhabria wakes up in a hospital room with no recognition of who she is and where she belongs. In her troubled times, Anya finds her anchor in a handsome stranger. But is he really unknown to her? Dev Wadhwa's past finds him when he sees Anya lying unconscious in the middle of the road. Not willing to let go of her one more time, Dev takes her to the hospital and later to his farmhouse, where he helps her recuperate. Sparks fly and Dev and Anya fall for each other! But the feisty Anya refuses to commit herself to marriage as her loss of memory looms larger than life. Things aren’t easy with an ex-husband, not-so-understanding parents, and a jealous neighbour thrown into the mix. What if Anya’s memory never comes back? Will Dev and Anya get a second chance? Or will circumstances force them apart, yet again?

Sundari Venkatraman is an Indie Author who has 68 books to her credit. These books have consistently featured in the Top 100 Bestseller Lists on Amazon India, Amazon USA, Amazon UK, Amazon Canada and Amazon Australia in both romance as well as Asian Drama categories. Her latest hot romances have all been on #1 Bestseller slot in Amazon India for over a month.

These days, the author is independently publishing her novels in paperback format under her banner Flaming Sun, printed and distributed by Notion Press.

Even as a child, Sundari absolutely loved the ‘lived happily ever after’ syndrome and she grew up on a steady diet of fairy tales, Phantom comics and Mandrake comics. It was always about good triumphing over evil and a happy ending after the protagonists surmounted all unexpected obstacles.

Once she entered her teens, Sundari switched her loyalties from fairy tales to Mills & Boon. While she loved reading both of these, she kept visualising what would have happened if there were similar situations happening in India; to local heroes and heroines. And of course, the joy of vanquishing the ubiquitous evil villains! Her imagination soared and she happily ensconced herself in a rosy romantic cocoon for many years.

Then came the writing—a true bolt from the blue! And Sundari Venkatraman has never looked back.

A perfect pick for a couple of hours to relax and enjoy a romantic ride with Anya and Dev!
Anya on the path to recovery from an accident as well herself and Dev trying to find his life-mate which he believes is the woman he once kissed and never looked back at.
Her ex-husband who cares for her, hurts along with her but her parents who are very much indifferent to her. You have the complete ingredients with which Sundari Venkatraman can do wonders and leaves you wondering what next. And of course, leaves you impatient for her next book.

Nice flow of words and expressions...

YES!
+Indian Romance set in Mumbai!
+Second chance romance! Anya and Dev had gone a date 5 years ago, but then things got complicated with their parents expectations regarding an arranged marriage between them. Dev happens to be the one who sees Anya's car get hit and takes her to the hospital where he doesn't leave her side.
+Amnesia! I'm normally not a fan of amnesia, but this one felt believable and I was cheering for Anya!
+Anya and Farhan's friendship!
+No ridiculous break up drama!

NO!
-A bit repetitive for being so short. The characters have the same conversations a few time. Which would have been okay if Anya's short-term memory was affected, but it wasn't.
-Renu was a bit unbelievable.

Reviewed in the United States on February 1, 2017

I really enjoyed reading this book. It was nice to read how Anya slowly regain her memory and not for it to happen just like that. The parents seemed a little over the top but I guess that's what you get with typical desi ones.

Very predictable story. The masala is there but nothing new. Some of the references and details are like as though the author is advertising for the product.

Lovely story with a sprinkle of suspense

Reviewed in India on March 5, 2022

This is a fast-paced and amazing story of Anya and Dev. It is said that love can be found only if destiny helps and yes, this story proves the same.

Sometimes some unfortunate incidents happen to us and we think why do such terrible things happen with me only? It's because destiny plays its role there and give us something very beautiful to cherish for life. The same thing happens with Anya too. Well, I can't reveal any spoilers so you need to read the story to get to know it all.

On the other hand, Dev couldn't lay his eyes on any other woman after seeing Anya five years ago. His focus was on his career back then. That's why he didn't want to marry and divert his mind. But then he couldn't think of any other woman and how could he find her knowing just her first name.

And then, destiny playlist a role and made these two beautiful souls together. Anya had Dev by her side in her difficult time and that's all it took to grow their feelings for each other. They became friends and then got closer as they led their life together at Wadhwa farm.

Other characters, Farhan and Arth were friendly. Dadima's presence gave warmth. The pets were lovely. Renu's character gave the story a little spice and villain vibes. I could imagine the beautiful farm and bungalow with apt narration. The climax was fulfilling with a fairytale happy ending.

I thoroughly enjoyed this story. I have been familiar with this author and can always count on her for a fast-paced story in the romance genre. I can always dive into her fictional world and get lost with the amazing characters. The characters are woven with accurate emotions. The language is lucid. The writing style is attractive. In short, if you are a fan of the romance genre, you will love this story.

Story with realistic approach

Reviewed in India on March 8, 2022

Do you have any favourite author whose book you pick without any second thoughts?

I don't read much romance genre. However, Sundari Venkatraman's writing and plot make me read romance-fictions, and I always wait for the next book after finishing the last one.

"Finding Anaya" is a work of fiction in the contemporary romance genre penned down by "Sundari Venkatraman." The story is focused on themes like a second chance, family drama, emotional challenges, and true friendship. It will suit readers who love reading romance with a realistic approach.

The book followed the story of Anya from Chandigarh, who got married early at the age of twenty-two because of her conventional thinking parents and nosy relatives. She tied the knot with her childhood best friend, Farhaan Merchant, and her parents were happy at getting her married, and soon their task is completed. After two years, Farhaan and Anya divorced with mutual concern without intimating their family.

She left the court with dreamy eyes of her bright future; unfortunately, destiny had decided something else for her, and she met with the car accident and woke up in hospital with her lost memories and a stranger in front of her.

Dev Wadhwa was the stranger who saved her life; however, he recognized Anya in one sight when he brought her hospital. He thought it was destiny to give him a second chance with Anya. Will Anya take a second chance with her lost memory? And how will she deal with her medical condition, ex-husband, and not-so-understanding parents?

"Finding Anya" deftly captures the emotions and challenges of the young generation wrapped with the blanket of romance, togetherness, and friendship. Anya's story is highly relatable and authentic, particularly the family dynamics and conflicts. I love the true friendship between Anya and Farhaan and I crave having a friend like him in my life.

Dev's character is also inspiring and resonates with many youths who want to pursue their dreams and passion but unable to proceed because of family pressure. Dev proves as an example to that. And things were not easy for Farhaan also, as he was forced to live a double life.

The story not only focuses on women's challenges in society but also reflects the challenges a youngster faces to disclose his identity, follow their dreams, and especially the turmoil to find balance in life.

Overall, "Finding Anya" is a character-driven story that will suck you in from the first page.

Genre- Romance
Rating- ⭐️⭐️⭐️

We take so much for granted in life, be it our loved ones, our parents, siblings, career choices, happy times but most importantly our experiences and memories, imagine one day waking up to find you have none.

Aanya is an only child, and having to deal with persuasive and emotionally draining parents is forced to marry her best friend, who is also marrying in name only, as for him, Farhan, is not interested in marriage.

The story starts with their Divorce, as Farhan has finally found a partner with who he is in love and Aanya doesn’t want to tie him down in a fake marriage, which served its purpose. But then something terrible happens, Aanya meets with an accident in which she loses all her memory, this is when Dev enters her life (again)

Dev is now a billionaire farmer- an entrepreneur who is in horticultural of exotic flowers and vegetables. He has never been able to get this teenager out of his mind who had come to visit his neighbour's family a few years back and felt such passion for him, but then he was just starting in his career going from MBA in the states to a Farmer.

The second part of the book is filled with love and desires, warmth and understanding. There is drama on all ends especially with Aanya having no memories but will that always be the case? Will she never remember or will it come back somehow?

A beautiful read for a quite summery evening. Light and engaging. Grab your copy now.

Covering moments

Reviewed in India on March 17, 2022

Life isn’t constant to anyone and so are the phases of life, always unpredictable. The entire concept of living up in a life happily, at times appears to be a myth when nothing happens the way one makes efforts and later on desires to possess. Author Sundari, being an experienced one with her work which I’ve been noticing now regularly, has been truly impressive with the work showcased. The book is a pathway figure for the reader to connect with real time painful set of emotions than the moments filled up with healthy happiness.

The story starts in an unexpected way where it's Anya and Dev indulged in making love happen but that's not how the entire story works in a process to deliver a happy note. Ahead is a journey filled with pain, fear, anger of loss, need of presence and things unexpected. Life brings up a twist and one falls prey to it's phases.

Life in case of Dev Wadhwa suddenly falls apart when Anya turns missing. Well, going missing isn't in the regular way as other books on thrill showcase and instead, it's more in a different way where the reader finds it unpredictable until the epilogue makes its appearance to unveil things.

Dev the alternate protagonist, his professional life becomes a rubble by some dramatic happenings. Everything happening around him seems surreal. Along with his love, while Anya, finds things in a mishap after a divorce happens and finds herself compelled to leave the phase of happiness and the onslaught on the broken hopes makes the life a more complicated one.

I actually found the bonding in the beginning between Anya and Farhan to be pretty much entertaining whereas the bonding shown between Anya and Dev was a thing deep enough to be acknowledged.

Author has shown rainbow of emotions with her style of narration which I feel made me learn and feel almost everything bit by bit.

Writing style is as usual gripping enough and so is the portrayal of characters where basic details are explained in a descriptive manners which actually depicts the kind of writer the author is and proves the work to be worthy enough. A well dressed read to opt in, for the upcoming weekend.

A breezy read!

Reviewed in India on March 4, 2022

Theme: The story follows the life of two people who get married due to circumstances and live as best friends till they get divorced. Upon divorce, the female protagonist meets up with something that changes her life entirely upside down. Here enters someone who helps her and knows about her past than she does at the moment. Who is that someone? What happened to the female protagonist? Why did she get divorced firstly? Who is her husband, and what is with his life? What happens later to everyone forms the base of the story.

Writing style: Firstly, the book dealt with the mindset of Indian orthodox families for whom marriage means everything, despite the protests from the kids. But as the story progressed, it felt like the same problem is being shown from different perspectives like the farmer issue of Dev . It felt more repetitive in places.

All the characterizations were good. But some portions could have been more intense. Like, the female protagonist's memory issue and her adjusting to the new life after that could have been dealt even more differently. Some more information shopuld have been given regarding that.

Anya and Dev's romantic portions were written well. The Gay portion could have been explored more.

Speaking of cover and title, the title was good and cover was very vibrant and attractive, like straight out of a movie poster.

Language and grammar: Language and grammar throughout the book was very good, making it a easy and smooth read.

On the whole, a great read recommended for people who are into a gentle, breezy and romantic read!

The book being small, can be completed just in one sitting.
