A review by priyakumar17
Dava Shastri's Last Day by Kirthana Ramisetti

4.0

The only reason this didn’t get 5 stars was some of the cheesiness, repetitiveness, and cliched writing. But the rich story, the depth of the characters, and the beauty with which Ramisetti writes about death are incredible. Sometimes the flashbacks got a little confusing, and I almost wish we had gotten more time in the present with the siblings. I loved all of the music references and the South Asian content, although they did misspell Telugu :( Overall, though, this book was an honest, complicated, beautiful endeavor to try to encapsulate the struggles of life, death, and dying.
