My Thoughts:

          The story is written in a simple & lucid manner so the readers won’t find it difficult to read. The story has a surprise element at the end. I loved the characters the friendship they share but I also didn’t like the fact that Sareena was just not taking the initiative to express her love for Bradley and that someone else had to convey her feeling towards Bradley. The plot was interesting with the end taking an unusual twist.

          Overall, I liked the story and would surely recommend this book to someone who is  looking to read something light and romantic at the same.

My Ratings: 4/5

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. People are constantly making fun of her calling her a ‘darkie’ and some even call her ‘ugly’. This has affected the poor girl to a very great extent to the point that instead of playing and having fun she is constantly thinking about how she can turn her skin fair. Her brother Karthi, is always there by her side trying to save her; and protect her from these kinds of people. However, one guilt is still constantly peeking its head out from time to time for Karthi. Karthi was once le...
