My Thoughts:

I loved this book, the author has done a great work seeing it is her debut novel. The characters are well developed and are totally relatable we get to see how they are struggling in their respective lives and how life throws a ball at you and how everybody needs to struggle to make their dreams come true. The side characters were also well developed. I loved Zuni how she is there for her best friend through thick and thin and tries to keep her away from her past and make her happy. The book shows us that just dreaming is not enough one should try and take steps every day and get a step closer to achieving his dreams. The book is full of motivational thoughts that has can uplift a person’s mood if he/she is feeling low and feels that he/she cannot achieve his goal.  Overall, it is a good book and I would definitely recommend it to my friends. I would like to thank the author for sending me a copy of this wonderful novel.

My Ratings: 4.5/5

Dancers in the Dark Author: Ejaz Ahamed Pages: 298               After reading this book, the very first thing that came to my mind was, ‘Is there humanity?’ If yes what is humanity? 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.
