it is an act of bravery to live through hell and run from it when we have been made to believe that running is far more dangerous than staying

What I really appreciate about this book is that it talks about trauma at length without feeling gratuitous. I love Sahaara and Kiran’s relationship. They love and support each other through everything. Even though they have their spats, they’re still their for each other at the end of the day.

I will say, I kinda hoped that Jeevan and Shaara would just stay friends, but I don’t hate where they landed. I like how they were open with each other and understanding of where they were individually.
