My Thoughts:

                The plot is very unique and the readers will be hooked right from the first page. The plot is well developed and the author has created suspense which has been well-maintained throughout the book till the end.

                Characters are well-developed and relatable but somehow I felt that other characters were a little side linked. We also get to see typical Indian parents and situation that every children in India have to face i.e. marriage is very well described. The conversation between Subodh and Kalpana are enlightening.

                The language is simple and lucid. The narration is also done beautifully.

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

                Overall, I would say that it was a good read and would surely recommend it to everyone.

My Rating: 5/5

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...
