My Thoughts:

                I loved the plot and it really shows us how people usually are. I really liked how the plot moves ahead and it was really heartbreaking and emotional at times.

                Characters are well developed and I liked the character of Ashu and Disha both. Disha is an optimistic girl who always finds good in everything. She really helps Ashu to get out of his grief and even supports him. I loved how their story moves and their relationship blossoms.

                Language is simple and lucid and the narration is done beautifully. The pace of the story is perfect.

                I liked the book cover and it is totally apt to the plot. The title of the book is beautiful and apt for the plot.

                Overall, I really liked this book and would recommend it to all.

My Rating: 4/5
