A review by ankita_g
Undertow by Jahnavi Barua
4.0
I was a little conflicted about whether to give this book a 3 or a 4 star, after finishing it. The ending kind of ruined the whole experience for me, but until then the book was SO good! Right before writing this review, I decided not to rate it lower just because I personally didn't like the ending; it is objectively too good to be a 3-star read.
'Undertow' is extremely well-written, and is an emotional roller-coaster from the very first page. As an Assamese who has spent considerable time at her grandparents' place in Guwahati, most of the characters felt very familiar. I felt like I was wrapped under a comfortable, warm and fuzzy blanket during most parts of the book.
