umm, i was really excited for this book, but it did not fully live up to the hype. don’t get me wrong, i really liked this book, it’s a really good book for a debut novel, but as a reviewer, i have to be honest. some parts of the book were really good, i was really into them, more interested in the lives’ of the characters, while some parts were more like filler chapters or unnecessary chapters that do nothing but make it longer. rupleena bose’s writing is highly inspired by sally rooney, which is an author i adore. she also has followed her way of writing dialogues without the quotations. in short, it’s a really good debut book. i wish all the best to rupleena for her other books in her journey.
