4.5

Overall I really enjoyed this novel, although it wasn't quite a 5* read for me.  On a personal level, there was an aspect to the story that I just wasn't happy with and - trigger warning - it contains writing about self-harm, which I wasn't expecting.  I loved Mr Chetan and Betty, their conversations and their antics.  The characters in this novel are described in such a rich way, that I think they will be staying with me for some time.
