I don't like to DNF a book, so I powered through this one--but man, was it difficult. First off, I did not understand the attraction to Julian at all. It may be because I have a huge dislike of May-December relationships, or because I did not find his character charming at all. The amount of red flags that Advika acknowledges and then chooses to ignore is staggering. I found her annoying as well; I wished I could yell sense into her through the pages.

I didn't even find her escape at the end heroic, when the entire relationship was a huge, stupid mistake to begin with. Who marries a person without knowing their background at all? Especially when that person is easily researchable.

I'm also nitpicking at this point, but the pop culture references in this book were poorly done. All it did was make me cringe.

4.5/5 because there was something I didn’t like about the ending

Ended up liking it more than dava shastri’s last day. At first I was very creeped out by the way Julian spoke but I ended up not being able to put the book down

I enjoyed the mysteries in this! And really related to Advika and her struggles trying to figure out her life. I did not see the ending coming. Also maybe because I've been watching too much old Below Deck, but I pictured Julian as Captain Lee LOL.
