this did not need to be as long as it was. I didn't care for any of the romances, but I loved when the focus was on them as a family. every mention of Pop hit me right in the feels. I especially loved Avani's pov for that reason.

DID NOT FINISH: 74%

I liked Nidhi, the elder sister’s story and that of Avani. Sirisha’s story was okay. I heard half of her part and then half of Rani’s coz both were too repetitive and well, kinda boring. Frankly, I think it’s a ‘me’ problem because I guess I am too old for YA romances now. 😅

DID NOT FINISH

DNF around 25%. This book is not bad, but very simplistic and predictable. It's also extremely overpopulated with characters, the kitchen sink of shallow "representation", and endless narrative switches between the main-ish characters' stories.
I found it exhausting to follow and impossible to care about, so I gave up. At least for now.
But, maybe, if I am in the right mood, I will come back to it. Hence no rating.
