S K Ali's Love From A to Z was an absolutely phenomenol piece of literature. The book encompasses the marvels and oddities of life from the perspective of two teenagers whose lives are inextricably linked over the vast distance of space and time. Circumstances bring them together to Doha, Qatar where their encounter is serendipitious. What they are unaware of is that both of them have their own versions of "The marvels of creation and the oddities of existence", something that binds them even closer to each other without the other even knowing.
