My Thoughts:

                I loved the plot it has been written in an interesting manner and I must say that it will surely make the readers emotional.  The author has actually showed us the reality that we as children have faced be it career choice or choosing a life partner. There are norms which have been set and they are somehow impossible to break even in this 21st century.

                I loved the characters especially Simar I loved how determined she is in whatever she does. I also loved her friendly nature and how she loves to play prank around her friends. I could somehow relate to the characters as we have faced these problems in one or the other way.

                Language is simple and lucid and the narration is done beautifully. The pace of the story is also perfect and it takes the book to another level.

                I loved the cover page of the book it is simple but with a very deep meaning. I also liked the title of the book it is apt to the story.

                Overall, I would say that it was a very emotional read and would surely recommend it.

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. 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...
