Thank you NetGalley and HarperCollins Publishing for the ARC. The author did an amazing job of creating beautiful characters. She made me love India, Yash, China…. But had me angry at Naina and China’s “girlfriend” (I think I blocked out her name, haha). Oh and Chutney is just the best name for a dog.

Can we vote Yash Raje for President 2024?! #PRESYASH24
He's what our country needs! Is he based off of a real person Sonali? Because I think all of your readers would vote for him!

I love Sonali Dev's books, and this was not a miss. The pacing in this one had me screaming!!!!! I wanted these two to be together but self-sacrificing made me want to punch them in  the face.
