About this listen

The blockbuster new love story by Chetan Bhagat.

He's 33. She's 21.

He's a struggling stand-up comic. She's a rising star in private equity.

He's divorced. She's never had a boyfriend.

He's Punjabi. She's from a conservative Jain family.

They shouldn't be together. But they can't stay apart.

Welcome to 12 Years: My Messed-Up Love Story.

Saket and Payal couldn't be more different-age, background, beliefs. Yet, they're drawn to each other in ways they can't explain. Is it just chemistry, or something deeper? Is it madness and lust, or is it love?

Unputdownable and thoroughly entertaining, 12 Years tries to answer the eternal question: How do you know if someone is the one - especially when everything says they're not?

From India's top-selling writer Chetan Bhagat comes a powerful new love story that will make you laugh, cry and rethink everything you know about love.

i liked every bit of the story but if it had ended sadily. I surely would not have liked it at all. Though his others novels do have a sad ending.Cos no woman likes a sad ending.

awesome audio. story was interesting too.

Loved it. But I thinks there was no character development and unnecessary double meaning jokes on push up bra were bad. Still, me and my partner has 18 years of age gap so I somewhat found it relatable to my love story.

Its similar to my love story.
