My Thoughts:

                The plot is good and very different from what we usually get to read. We actually get to see the behavioural patterns of patients with psychological problems.

                The characters are well developed and the situation that Ritabhari was facing was a bit disappointing.

                The language was simple and lucid and the narration was also good.

                The book cover is beautiful and depicts the plot of the story and creates a hope in the minds of the readers that every sunshine brings something new and positive into everybody’s life. Bad days are just a phase of life and with our determination we can overcome them. The title of the book is also apt to the plot.

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

My Rating: 4/5
