My Thoughts:

I would first like to start with the characters of the book. The author has given so much of detailing to the character of Pooja that it feels as if we know her very well. The way she handles the situations and takes decisions is also commendable. The other characters are also written very well. Overall, for the characters we can say that characters are well-developed.

The plot  is written from the view point of the protagonist Pooja. The author has given us a very important message in this book and is the value of time in one’s life. We mostly don’t value time and also sometimes give more value to people who have just come in our life thus again wasting all the valuable time and also our relationship with people who care for us. The plot is very realistic and will teach the readers a lot.

The narration of the author is also wonderful the author has successfully maintained the POV throughout the book.

The language is simple and lucid and the readers can easily go through the book quickly.

The cover page is very cute and the book title is also very apt to the story and justifies the whole gist of the book.

Overall, I really enjoyed reading this book and would surely recommend it to everyone.

My Rating: 4/5
