In the city of Aizawl, two individuals from different backgrounds found themselves rising together during their Pre-University (PUC). Their love story takes a heartbreaking turn when his jealous gay friend circulates a rumor, attempting to interfere in their budding romance.
Despite their shared origins in Aizawl, her love becomes an unrequited longing. His shy and reclusive nature, compounded by tragic incidents, thwarts her attempts at connection. Perplexingly, she struggles to comprehend his gesture of acceptance, leaving their relationship in a prolonged state of oblivion.
Undeterred by time and physical separation for higher education, her tenacity refuses to wane. However, her naivety hinders her from deciphering his clues, especially as he descends into severe addiction following his mother’s demise.
As they pursue separate paths in the South, life takes its toll on both. Divine forces seem to intervene, preventing their meetings in one place. The unease in his mind compels him to reveal his hidden love and propose marriage after a long, tumultuous journey.
Yet, every attempt at union is thwarted, leaving them in perpetual separation. The narrative takes a poignant turn as he begins to share his feelings and long-buried secrets post-marriage. A revelation of life’s unkindness unfolds, leading to a point where they express profound regret.
This tragic love story, which commenced with passion, concludes with the transformation of love into enduring friendship. Upon finishing the book, readers may find themselves pondering whether these protagonists will forever remain as incomplete stories, waiting for the closure they once yearned for.

This turned out to be a very unique story - it isn't a 'happily ever after' but neither is it a tragic love story where there are no hopes of the protagonist ever finding happiness. This is a book very close to life, a book that ends in uncertainty.
Based on a true story, this has a 'right person, wrong time' trope. The journey starts when the girl is in school. The book felt like a fireside chat with the author - a narration of the events from her perspective. By the end, I did not really connect with her because there was very little character building, the side characters weren't very memorable either. I do wish we had gotten a bit more of the internal monologues of the characters, but well, it is based on a true story and the author did her best to portray the truth of the matter.
One thing that could have been improved here was the fluidity of the language. Idioms were overused that lent a very rash light to the overall prose.

My Favorite Part of the Book:
My favorite part of "Regrets" is when Chettri beautifully illustrates how we often realize the value of people, experiences, and even ourselves only in hindsight.

The read will take you to the tale of two characters belonging to distinct native.
They belonged to the same city of Aizawl, meet and fall in love during adolescent period of their life.
The love was talk for the circle and soon circulated with envious embarks by a close friend..which affected their lives. Although they had a rift, it was a temporary end to a sprouting love story but the story doesn't end here..
We all have some incomplete love story, sometimes it's our life and sometimes just a part if life...sometimes it just doesn't regret...but in all ways it will remain embedded deep in our heart..

Love can be amazing, complex, and thrilling all at the same time. Of course, when you're crushing on, you have many questions running through your mind, from examining your genuine emotions to how to express them to know how they feel about you. We look to our friends and siblings for pieces of advice to get these answers about our love life, but I sometimes think it's helpful to get an unbiased opinion on our love life, and what can be better than reading a good romance book?
Regrets by Hema Chhetri is kind of a book that gives a perspective of young ones on love. This book explores friendship, love, identity, heartbreak, and regrets. The book follows the story of two high school students destined to meet each other, but circumstances and fate make them ignorant to take the cues for their love for each other. But as they say! Matches made in heaven, after a long time, once again their path crossed, and they discovered how life was unfair for both of them; from here starts the regrets of life.
I wish to see this heartbreaking, unfinished story as a happy ending love story. I love the raw emotion portrayed and the plot twists that make me think more about this story. However, I feel there is more space for character development. It's that one modern romance story with loads of hows and whats, twists, and a few aww moments.
Overall, the wonderful adage "what if it happens" inspired the novel, and I will recommend it to all beginner romance readers.

I often find myself wondering what love is and how it actually feels. is it like what poets and novelists write or is it individually different? The story of Dheeraj and Prema, our protagonists in "Regrets: All you need to Realize One's True Value" by Hema Chhetri, have had it between them but only after long years could they actually confess and confront each other and confess. But life is a box of chocolates, right? You never know what to expect. The love that they had from Aizwal to Bangalore, from school time, through higher studies, and to the job phase and further, didn't seem to be what they actually craved their whole life. What happened was most painful and unexpected.
The book is around 230 pages long and is full of suspense, longing, and love. I loved reading the confessions and playing in my head the scenes where they were drawn close to each other despite everything and then far again.
If you are a hopeless romantic and get your heart stuck too quickly, this book is for you. If you're someone who has been in a relationship for a long but you feel like to should not be in it, this book is for you. This book is for anyone who has felt love and romance.
