I was a little put off by how abusive Radha's mum is and how little that abuse is dealt with. It seems to be treated as secondary to her father's absences in Radha's life. Radha gets counselling from therapists, but none of them appear to delve into her relationship with her mother which seems like a missed opportunity.
The book is cute, but not as moving as it should be.

I think both of the Nisha Sharma books I’ve read so far, have a lot of parent child conflicts and I was less tolerant towards the familial conflict in this book. Especially because I think Radha’s mom crosses a lot of lines and doesn’t apologize for it at all, which was unsatisfying.
I think I need to take a break from YA because I just didn’t vibe with the book, although I thought it was objectively a good YA book.
