Simeen Desai is fed up of making lemonade with the lemons life hands her. She's borne more than a fair share of loss, trauma and heartbreak from her teenage years. And now, at thirty, she must put another stone over her heart and watch her husband, Nirvaan, die of cancer.Simeen wants nothing more than a normal life at her Carmel beach house, but she'll do whatever it takes to make her husband's final months happy, including have an in vitro baby (she's viscerally opposed to having) and live in a platonic ménage with their childhood friend, Zayaan Khan, even though it strikes dread in her heart because of their tragic history. As Nirvaan's health deteriorates, his demands on his wife and his old friend increase. Simeen's emotions grow volatile because of the fertility drugs, making her angry with Nirvaan for demanding so much of her, guilty for wanting Zayaan despite the past, and desolate with life in general. She's torn, as always, between love and loyalty, secrets and honesty: Zayaan and Nirvaan. When Nirvaan lapses into a coma, Simeen must find the courage to forgive and forget, take an unconventional decision, or squander her very last chance at a love story.
