About the Book:
I, Simeen Desai, am tired of making lemonade with the lemons life has handed me.
Love is meant to heal wounds.
Love was meant to make my world sparkle and spin.
Love has ripped my life apart and shattered my soul.
I love my husband, and he loves me.
But Nirvaan is dying.
I love my husband. I want to make him happy.
But he is asking for the impossible.
I don’t want a baby.
I don’t want to make nice with Zayaan.
I don’t want another chance at another love story.

Conversation with Zayaan Khan from My Last Love
Story.
Introduce yourself to
our readers.
Hey! I’m Zayaan Khan—Zai to my friends. I have two younger
sisters and a mother, and we live in London. I’ve come to Carmel-by-the-Sea to
be with Nirvaan and also to finish my dissertation in Islamic studies.
You’re a nerd, huh. Then,
this question is perfect for you: If you could do something dangerous just once
with no risk, what would you do?
Zai: Nirvaan and I have pretty much covered all the risky
and dangerous things men can do. As of this moment, I’d try any risky
experimental medical procedure on Nirvaan to rid his head of tumors once and
for all.
What’s the biggest
lie you told in childhood?
Zai: That I love my brother. That he was redeemable in
Allah’s eyes.
Which of your
ancestors would you most like to meet?
Zai: My eight-times great grandfather who was a Sufi saint.
I’d love to meet him and discuss philosophy.
Is it more essential
to develop beliefs or gain knowledge?
Zai: Gain knowledge, of course. Belief without knowledge is
a waste and an error. Knowledge is reason. Belief can be unreasonable.
Heavy. Let’s end on a
fun note, shall we? What’s the most fun party you ever attended?
Zai: My—our—fifteenth birthday party. It was at Dandi Beach
back home in Gujarat. It’s where we—Nirvaan and I—met Simi.
And that’s our five
questions done. Thanks for being a sport. And I wish you find that experimental
procedure for Nirvaan too.
