4.0

An unflinchingly honest story about privilege in the Indian context. This book nudges its audience into questioning the society around them at a crucial time in Indian politics, achieving this through a gripping fictional narrative with amazingly well written characters. The only shortcoming in my view is that the plot is anachronistic, which made me feel like the story occasionally loses its way. Overall though, a great read. I look forward to the Netflix adaptation!
