I have several complaints about this book:
1. There is a character named Emma in this universe. She is referenced once and otherwise never appears in the entire book. Y’all, it’s literally called The Emma Project - what freaking gives?
2. We did not spend nearly enough time with Esha and Sid. Their entire relationship was beautiful and pure and the highlight of the book for sure. So why exactly did we not get to go along with them on their Golden Gate Adventure?? Ugh!
3. Naina and Vansh alternated being utterly unlikable throughout the book. I didn’t like both of them at the same time until the very end.
4. We never find out what happened to Garuda!
This book is a fair, if rushed, ending to the Raje-Austen Universe. I just think Esha & Sid deserved more and better than 1 in 5 chapters and half an epilogue.

Content Warnings
Moderate: Death of parent, Emotional abuse, Gaslighting, and Physical abuse
Minor: Pregnancy
There is a lot of detail about the plane crash Esha was in as a child. The narrative is driven forward by the fact that Hari is homeless. We also see him struggle in detail with severe anxiety and panic attacks.
