Love Happens Like That is a book that speaks about adolescent love and the surge of emotions that come when one is passing through that age. The adolescent years in an individual's life are a time when numerous transformations and transitions take place. Adolescents aren't kids anymore, but neither are they adults. This book captures the situations that occur when an adolescent falls in love.

The story revolves around two main characters, namely Ritesh Garg and Aarushi. Ritesh is a person who thoroughly enjoys whatever life throws at him and lives in the moment. Aarushi, on the other hand, is serious about life and hails from an orthodox family. Despite being so different from one another, Aarushi and Ritesh are drawn towards one another in a manner that they cannot explain.

Their romance blossoms with a little help from their friends, but they are too immature to be able to handle their emotions, and things take a turn for the worse when it starts affecting their studies at school. All these lead to further problems at both their homes. The two of them, though, manage to put all these things behind them and move successfully towards a better future.

This novel by Ritwik Mallik speaks about those exciting yet confusing years of growing up when one becomes too involved in the moment and is unable to deal with personal emotions.
