A rollercoaster with a slow, cliffhanger finish. I just found out that this is supposed to be a trilogy so I am excited to see where the story goes. I definitely am glad I did the audio route because I feel if I did the physical version, I may not have been able to keep up. The speed is kind of like a loopy di-loop type of novel - we experience the trials and tribulations of Ajay then veer toward Sunny (who I honestly could have done without but his voice was also essential but my least favorite) Then we do a complete 180 to Sunny's love interest Neda who is a journalist who is way over her head when getting close to Sunny. High paced in the beginning, slow in the middle and picks right back up towards the end. I reccomend this to anyone who is a fan of The Sopranos, heavily character driven, slower paced novels set in diverse places such as India.
