This was SO GOOD. I loved how Hani and Ishu had conflict outside of their relationship with one another and therefore developed as characters on their own. It felt really healthy and gave the story so much depth. I was also obsessed over Ishu and Nik's sibling relationship. It made my heart warm and showed off the kind of loyalty I have for my own younger sister. I did dock a half star, just because I wanted the romance to feature a little more; the romance itself was so sweet and cute so there were no issues there at all. Such a thoroughly enjoyable read and I can't wait to get to more of Jaigirdar's works.
