This book was tough. Tough in the way that I wasn't expecting. I wasn't expecting to be so affected by the characters - Nita, the main one. Being someone myself that is sometimes wondering what else is out there for me, and what else I could make my life into - I was really captivated by her desire to leave the world behind and forge her own path. I was devastated to read through her naivety and abuse. That part I was really invested in. What failed to take off for me was the connection between Sophie's destiny and Nita's. I enjoyed watching their juxtaposing lives, but in the end Sophie was just okay to go with status quo and go back to her life in India. I wanted more for Sophie and it was brought to an abrupt end. Oh well, I had a great time traveling back through Paris with Nita and her story broke my heart.. which is exactly what I'm looking for in a book. Had a great time, but only enough for a three star for me.
