We've heard about online love through social media. Ever heard of an online connection through Scrabble? That's what Falguni Kothari's debut novel, It's your move, Wordfreak!, is about.

What happens

Alisha Menon, 28, and Aryan Rajaram Chawla, 25, decide to meet in person after several months of chatting and flirting. The former, a successful divorce lawyer, and the latter, an architect and a page 3 socialite, fall for each other. The initial part has been spiced up with romantic scenes. In the latter part, they transform themselves into developed characters. Friends and relatives of the two play a vital role in disclosing many secrets. The turn of events makes the book an interesting read.
