3.5
From Sunny’s POV on, I struggled. He was such an unreliable narrator for so many reasons - the drugs, the prose became more fast-paced too. It was hard to keep track of his comings and going’s.
I think a major mistake was made with ending the book primarily in Sunny’s POV. He was so incredibly unreliable and unstable - his story arc made no sense and his communication with characters we had met before felt pointless. I couldn’t make heads or tails of his relationships with his family, Neda or Ajay.
The first half of this book was totally enthralling - so a 3.5 is what this rating will be.
