This book started out alright with Ajay’s point of view. It was interesting to enter that world. But the second or third parts of the book were different points of view that I didn’t care for, I think it might be because the characters didn’t have redeeming qualities. 

It really felt the author was trying to do too much. Especially with trying to change the writing styles to poems when Sunny is being beaten up.

I did not get the ending at all, I was hoping it would redeem reading this long book, but it fell very flat.

I think maybe this book was more written like it was ready to be a screenplay for a movie because some parts felt so choppy. 

I feel like the book could have been good and had such good reviews but I’m very disappointed because it was so long and I just don’t get what the purpose of the book was at the end.
