A enjoyable read
Great as a Christmas gift.
One of the best books I have read.
One of the best books I’ve read this year. I literally could not put it down. I was sucked into the story from the very first page and left traumatized by the end. Captivating, engrossing and totally upsetting. I still can’t get over it; that’s how good the book is!
Remarkable..and utterly gripping…kept me reading late into the night, night after night..
Really great Reshma!!!
congrats Reshma well done
Imposible not to discuss thank you Reshma!
Fabulous and entertaining.
I was immersed from the beginning, felt such empathy for the characters and where they found themselves. It was a riveting book with some light hearted touches in between the difficult situations everyone faced. Totally believable.
But the ending……..
A must read.
