This impressive debut novel, longlisted for the 2020 Booker Prize, takes its premise and inspiration from ten of the best-known thought experiments in philosophy—the what-ifs of philosophical investigation—and uses them to talk about love in a wholly unique way. Married couple Rachel and Eliza are considering having a child. Rachel wants one desperately, and Eliza thinks she does, too, but she can't quite seem to wrap her head around the idea. When Rachel wakes up screaming one night and tells Eliza that an ant has crawled into her eye and is stuck there, Eliza initially sees it as a cry for attention. But Rachel is adamant. She knows it sounds crazy—but she also knows it's true. As a scientist, Eliza is skeptical. Suddenly their entire relationship is called into question. What follows is a uniquely imaginative sequence of ten interconnecting episodes—each from a different character's perspective—inspired by some of the best-known thought experiments in philosophy. Together they form a sparkling philosophical tale of love lost and found across the universe.

LOVE, though a four letter word contains so much in it. Emotions, feelings, pain, and most of all tears. If love gives you happiness, it gives pain too. If love gives you smile, it gives you tears too. Love is divine, love is hellish. Every love story isn't complete, every love story doesn't have a happy ending. Half Baked Love consists of 25 such stories, which are incomplete, which would show you the dark side of love. The stories which would make you feel the pain which love gives. Some stories would bring tears to your eyes while some would make your heart skip a beat. A complete package to show how love is!

His mother’s sudden death scars him for life, leaving him at loggerheads with his father who finds himself a new wife in no time. As Kabir embarks on a downward spiral of alcohol and drugs, he, on one ill-fated day, finds himself embroiled in a hit-and-run case. Making a quick escape, Kabir ends up in a red-light area, where he meets Sehar, a sex worker.
