A year after choosing Vani, Piyush finally has the life he always wanted. He is settled in Edinburgh, loves his job, and has found happiness with the woman who helped him believe in love again.

When his best friend Arjun invites him to India for his wedding, Piyush is excited to meet his old friends after years apart. But the trip turns out to be much more than a wedding celebration.

An unexpected meeting brings back memories he thought were over, and one conversation changes the way he looks at his past forever. As he searches for the answers he never knew he needed, Piyush realises that some stories are not finished just because we leave them behind.

The Life I Chose Instead is an emotional contemporary romance about love, forgiveness, and finding the courage to let go of the life you imagined so you can embrace the one waiting for you.
