I can’t completely decide where I land with this read. I didn’t enjoy it initially as I wasn’t yet attached to the characters. That did change throughout my reading as I got to know Ravi and Pip more and even some of their family and friends. I grew to like them and their relationship. However, I can’t say I loved this book because the premise itself lends itself to incredulity at times and confusion at other times. And the twists felt like they could have worked better in a visual medium but on the page felt a bit flat for me. Something was missing though this was an interesting story overall.
