My Thoughts:

                The plot is well written and revolves around what we get to experience even today. People are still following all these caste, creed and religion blindly and for this they can go up to any end. This has been explained by the author aptly through this story.

                The characters are well developed. I liked that the author has given us a peep in the past of the characters which makes the characters more relatable. I must say that both the characters were strong and fought for their love.

                Language is simple and lucid so people who are looking forward to start reading Hindi books can definitely start with this book.

                The cover page and the title of the book is apt to the plot.

                Overall, it was an interesting read and I would surely recommend this book to all.

My Rating: 4/5

This was a very emotional read for me. The story revolves around Kalki, her brother Karthi, and Shreyas whom we will meet later in the story. Karthi is a seven-year-old who is suffering from a skin condition that makes her skin dark compared to other dark people.

However, one guilt is still constantly peeking its head out from time to time for Karthi. Karthi was once le...
