What if the person you've spent your whole life waiting for never existed?
Aarav has been imagining his dream girl since he was young — a woman who understands his silences, remembers the smallest details, never asks him to explain himself, and somehow knows exactly what he needs.
At twenty-six, he's still waiting for her.
Then he meets Meher.
She's a photographer documenting the restoration of an old heritage haveli, and she is almost nothing like the woman Aarav imagined. She's impatient. She forgets things. She disagrees with him — often and loudly. She has her own ambitions, fears, wounds, and complicated history.
And somehow, she feels more real than anyone he's ever known.
As Aarav gets closer to Meher, he begins to question the ideal of love he's carried for fifteen years. Was he really searching for the perfect person, or was he searching for someone who would never challenge him?
MY DREAM GIRL is a slow-burn contemporary romance about imagined love and real love, expectations and vulnerability, and the difficult, beautiful process of learning to see another person exactly as they are.
Because sometimes the person who changes your understanding of love is not the person you imagined.
She's the person you never could have imagined.
