Summary:Lost in Chapters follows Kriti, a girl navigating the highs and lows of life, from innocence and crushes to heartbreak, friendships, mistakes, and self-discovery. Unlike typical love stories, it embraces the messy, real, and relatable moments that shape who we are. Every choice, every challenge, every person she meets leaves a mark on her journey. Life isn’t perfect, love isn’t flawless, and people aren’t always who we expect—but it’s in these raw, transformative moments that growth and resilience are found. Will Kriti get the life she truly wants, or will the chaos of her world keep her lost in the chapters?
Preview of one of the chapters:
"I tell myself he’s impossible, selfish, egoistic—but there’s a flicker, a quiet whisper inside me: maybe he’s not exactly what he says he is. Maybe all those walls, the harsh words, the relentless defiance… it’s a story he doesn’t tell, a reason he doesn’t show. And something in me—some instinct buried deep—wants to know it.
I know he deserves better. I know he deserves someone who sees through the armor, someone who won’t flinch at the sharp edges. And maybe, subconsciously, my mind decided that someone could be me. Not because I want to fix him—that sounds like a hero story from a cheesy movie—but because a part of me believes I could belong in his story, quietly, where he doesn’t have to perform, doesn’t have to be always on guard.
And that’s terrifying. Because I also know I deserve better. I know I shouldn’t be drawn to impossible. I know he’s chaos, and I’m craving peace. But even knowing that, my mind keeps circling, keeps imagining—a soft hand reaching the rough corners, a quiet smile behind the scowl, and somehow, in my head, I’m the one standing there.
Maybe it’s the version of him that doesn’t exist… but maybe it’s the version I want to see, and somehow, my heart is already living in that story.I tell myself he’s impossible, selfish, egoistic—but there’s a flicker, a quiet whisper inside me: maybe he’s not exactly what he says he is.
