MY REVIEW:
When Opposites Meet is the story of three couples, who are contrary to each other in three different ways.

When Opposites Meet is not like a typical love story. The uniqueness in the love stories was remarkable, and this was something which I really liked about this novel. All the characters have been well depicted and the author has given a very detailed description of each of the characters. Narration has been simple and smooth throughout, and the quirky dialogues, definitely stands out the most. Language has been plain and lucid, although there were a few editing mistakes, it can be ignored. The story was neither very fast-paced, nor very slow, but it does keep the reader on the edge of their seat.

Overall, I would say that 'When Opposites Meet' is a feel-good kind of a story. I really enjoyed reading the book, and would definitely recommend to all the readers.
