My Thoughts:

                The plot was well written and I liked how the author has brought the emotions that a father felt for his daughter. Life is all about ups and downs when we start feeling that everythings good life can throw some surprises to us. It's about how we handle these situation and try to overcome these challenges and this has been nicely depicted in this story. I really liked the letters that we get to read it depicts the emotions that the characters were going through.

                Characters are well developed and relatable. The readers can actually feel the emotions that Sneha's father goes through and how he is worried for his daughter and family. I must say he is very strong and wants his daughter to overcome her disease. There were times when I was really disappointed with Sneha's mom but it was really appreciable of her dad to support her with her work and standing besides her in everything.

                Language is simple and lucid and the narration is done nicely. The cover page and the title of the book is also apt to the book.  

                Overall, it was a nice story and I would surely recommend it to all.

Rating: 4/5

Dancers in the Dark Author: Ejaz Ahamed Pages: 298               After reading this book, the very first thing that came to my mind was, ‘Is there humanity?’ If yes what is humanity? 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.
