cecilialau_'s review against another edition
4.75
Amazing and fascinating characters, folklore beautifully interwoven, social commentary through caste and gender and religious discourse. I really enjoyed this.
If you have thought about picking up this book, you will be glad you did.
It is just fab and for many reasons; there is the thriller-y vibes, the dark humour, the dark themes included as well, the friendships, miscommunication, mystery, character development, the spotlight on isolation and loneliness as well. Yeah, so much is included and done very well imo.
Moderate: Cursing, Sexual violence, Alcoholism, Infertility, Murder, Rape, Sexism, Domestic abuse, Fatphobia, Gun violence, Injury/Injury detail, and Toxic relationship

If you enjoy reading about complex, flawed characters, unexpected friendships and female empowerment, with a little murder, mayhem, and revenge thrown in then this might be the book for you!
