This book makes you feel for the characters even as you're shaking your head at their decisions. Not sure how I feel about the ending. Almost felt like a "cheap" move.

If you’ve ever suffered despair, grief, heartbreak, and the like you’ll adore this book (just check content warnings first). No double you’ll fall in love with Mr Chetan. He is simply wonderful.

waywardtomes's review against another edition

4.0

I wasn't expecting anything in this book. It is much heavier than I thought it was going to be but I still really enjoyed the story of family. I laughed a little, cried a few times, and my jaw might have dropped more than once. Also I did the audio and love that it was narrated by the author. 

Please note: if you are looking for a review about the rep in it, I cannot give you that. I am a white lady in the U.S please look for reviews by Trinidadians on that.
