Four girls, one city and friendships that refuse to stay simple.  

For Kismet, Maya, Kusum and Mahika, there’s college to survive, crushes to decode, secrets to keep, fights to recover from and mothers to outsmart. Mumbai is loud, messy and impossible—and so are they.  

But growing up comes for everyone.  

Best friends become strangers. New friends become lifelines. Boys disappoint. Rumours explode. And sometimes the person you’re most afraid of losing is the one who forces you to become yourself.  

Becoming Kismet is a funny, chaotic and heartfelt YA story about the friendships that make us, the fires that change us and the twists of fate that shape who we become.

Vaishali Hamlai holds a master’s in human resource management and is dedicated to making reading accessible and relatable. Through her writing, she explores evolving societal norms, offering nuanced insights while dissecting assumptions and perspectives.  

Her literary journey began with Rhea@Suraksha, a story rooted in her personal experiences, followed by Down Under, which addresses racism from a fresh perspective. Her other works, including Mind Trap, Through the Open Window, Trust Me, I Won’t Leave and Stomping Moon Dust, explore themes of accountability, mental resilience and love’s transformative power. Becoming Kismet is her seventh novel.
