BackgroundSaxena had initially decided to write a sequel to his first book Finders, Keepers but was persuaded by his family to write a romance novel. He decided to write a tale between two lovers who unknowingly take a stand against each other and the love-hate relationship between them. In an interview with Half Baked Beans, Saxena mentioned that "UNNS is an unconventional love story".[1].

The concept of the seven stages of love has been discussed elaborately in Hindi movies like Dedh Ishqiya and Dil Se. Plot summaryThe novel is an international espionage with conflicting romance as the theme. The story spans across three countries, India, Germany and the United States. Atharva Rathod and Meher Qasim fall in love when they are in school. The romance is short lived as Meher abruptly breaks all ties with Atharva and leaves for Germany forever. Fifteen years later, Atharva travels to Germany on a secret mission where he meets Meher again. The mission ends up as a failure and Atharva is imprisoned for 12 years on charges of acting against the Research and Analysis Wing of India. As Atharva is freed after twelve years, his mentor trusts him with an amateur mission in the United States where he meets Meher once again.

The chapters are named after the three seasons along with each of the seven stages of love. The story ends on the last stage of love, which is death. CharactersThe main characters of the novel are:
