"Have you ever attended a wedding where something went wrong?"
Meera Deshpande was the perfect bride-draped in a regal Paithani, henna still dark on her palms, and a heart full of steady hope. But as the shehnai faded and whispers rose, one truth shattered everything: the groom wasn't coming. Left at the mandap in a sea of stunned silence and flickering fairy lights, Meera does the unthinkable-she lifts her chin, offers the guests dinner, and walks away.
Back home, with only her self-respect and silence for company, Meera rebuilds her life. She's a Chartered Accountant, a daughter, a cousin, and now-unwillingly-a spectacle. But while the world mourns her "failed wedding," Meera has no intention of becoming a tragedy. And just when she's certain love is an outdated myth, life throws in someone who might just change her mind - If she lets him. Almost a Bride is a story of heartbreak and humour, of unexpected strength, nosy relatives, perfectly spiced dal, and the kind of love that arrives when you've stopped waiting.
