The book revolves around Anjali , an Indian-American single mother , who has a son with autism . As Instagram captions haver character limitations , i will not go on about the story here and just continue with my review. You can read the blurb on the Amazon Listing. I will talk about the good and the underwhelming aspects of the book.
THE GOOD
-Author isn’t afraid to go for gray protaganists. In a genre where mostly the protagonists are white and the antagonists are black. This book has gray characters. At the same time the antagonists are not completely black but a very dark shade of gray. I apologise for the awful analogy.
-The concept. The concept is refreshing and something you may not have come across before. While movies have been made on the topic of acid attacks , they did not perform as well as they should have , and not just for political reasons. This book has been optioned by @endemolshineind for a televion series, and if made properly , the masses will love it.
-The way of putting here thoughts on various subjects in the book. The author does not force her opinion on her thought s, she rather puts it out there and the readers have to think and form thier own opinions. Just like every artist should.
-The thrill. I cannot believe that this is the authors debut novel. Every page keeps you hooked to the story. I mean i did figure out some of the several twists and turns but thats because i have read several thrillers .
THE UNDERWHELMING ASPECTS
-There are two many characters and the perspective changes way to often and that is not a problem for advance readers but beginners may have difficulty reading it.
-I am nitpicking here and this point is completely based on personal opinion hence will not be considered in my rating system, The author has tried to justify infedelity at some level and me , haveing been cheated on , just cannot be an advocate of that.
Overall the book is an excellent read and i highly recommend it.
