Can two people, each rotating in a personal orbit of past mistakes and new ambitions, learn to revolve together without losing who they are? Deepak Khurana’s Circle With No Centre is a debut novel that quietly unsettles the reader, not through dramatic plot twists but by holding a mirror to the subtle complexities of modern relationships. At its core, the book explores the tension between intimacy and independence, and how past wounds shape the way we love. The story follows two unnamed individuals in their thirties—both scarred by heartbreak, both navigating careers and friendships, and both convinced they are meant to orbit life alone. Their unexpected reconnection through a dating app sets off a journey less about romance and more about the deeper questions of belonging, vulnerability, and selfhood. Khurana engages with hyper-independence, emotional intimacy, and the non-linear nature of healing. There are moments of deep reflection that explore whether true closeness requires losing part of oneself, or whether love can coexist with freedom. The story expresses itself in the nuanced portrayal of both male and female voices—the rare sensitivity with which the male protagonist’s vulnerabilities are depicted is refreshing in contemporary romance. Circle With No Centre is less a story to be consumed quickly and more a companion to be savoured slowly. It’s a tender meditation on love, fear, and the courage to let another person in. @centreless_circle
