A colourful and melancholic novel around the themes of loss and community. I loved The Reading List but Sara Nisha Adams has upped her game here. Beautiful novel. Really look forward to reading whatever she puts out next.

I wanted to like it more, but it also took me longer to finish than anticipated. Easy read, but slow-burn. Not really much happens and the characters are rather unlikeable in the beginning and bland in the end. It might not be entirely fair when I say that I find it predictable, after all, I got what I had expected when I purchased the book. But there really weren't any surprises. Well, that's not true, there was one thing which came out of the blue plot-wise, but still was not unexpected story-wise.
That being said, it made me cry about three times, one was in a public place, so here are three stars.

Was written like an early first draft. Story was all over the place and lots of “telling” vs “showing” made me unengaged
