                The characters are well developed and I loved Diksha’s character the most. I loved how she is close to her parents and in one instance when her mother tells her that someday even she has to leave to make her career she had cried a lot but then also forgotten about the incidence soon. I loved how both Diksha and Gautam progress and overcome their obstacles.

                Language is simple and lucid.

                The book cover is very interesting and the title of the book is also pat to the plot.

                Overall, I loved reading this book and I must say that there is a lot to learn from this book.
