The Architecture Of Us

✦ About the Author Prathna Pandya is a 16-year-old girl from Surat who lives somewhere between reality and really intense daydreams. She''s a little too dramatic a little too delusional (her words not ours) and a certified collector of fictional boyfriends — one chapter at a time. The Architecture of Us is her debut novel — stitched together with quiet heartbreaks stolen glances and all the things we never say out loud. She didn’t mean to write a love story but the characters wouldn’t shut up and her heart wouldn’t stop imagining a world where complicated love still deserved happy endings. When she’s not writing emotionally messed-up scenes or making her characters suffer (and then swoon) Prathna is probably listening to sad songs on loop sipping chai like it’s a coping mechanism or writing journal entries that may or may not become her next plot twist. She believes in slow burns teary confessions emotionally unavailable boys with soft hearts and the kind of love that feels like home... eventually. This book is her love letter to every almost what if and we were never just friends.
