Otherwise I can’t tell if it’s just that I’m uncomfortable with someone being so confident or if I genuinely think they’re delusional in a harmless way. But none of it hit with me and I didn’t enjoy the writing style either.

Furthermore, beyond the powerful subject matter of Dear Senthuran, this memoir is absolutely brimming with unforgettable sentences. My own words can't do their words justice. Thus, here are a few quotes from Dear Senthuran:
"If just this terrified you - the tip of a feather - how am I supposed to open up entire wings?"
"What is love if not a shield thrown up around you when you are too injured to throw it up yourself?"
"People can do such spectacular things if you forget to tell them it's impossible. I want them to try."
"Part of bending the world we want into existence is that we get to choose who we want to be in it with, and I choose you."
