I listened to this as an audiobook & the narrator was fantastic! However, if I had just read this book, I'm not sure i would have been able to get through it. The beginning was a little slow & kind of boring. I loved watching Amar grow as a person throughout the story. There was a small section in the book that I didn't find necessary to add in but other than that I thought it was pretty good!

I bought this book as part of Amazon's "First Reads" program, and the copy there made it sound like a romcom. Unfortunately, it's not funny. It's also probably about 100 pages too long (a lot of the prose is very repetitive) and I found the main character really annoying with the way he was always projecting on everyone and having these over dramatic spirals. No idea how 2 different guys were into him.
