My Thoughts:

The plot of the story is unexpected the readers will be hooked while reading the story and the ending too is very unique.

The narration is good and the pace of the story is fast paced which makes the story interesting.

The language is simple and lucid.

The characters are well developed we get to see the back story of each character which makes it feel like we know them very well. But while reading the story I also felt that the characters were a bit immature at times.

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

Overall, it was a good read.

My Rating: 4/5
