Dava Shastri's Last Day by Kirthana Ramisetti

3.0

Thank you Grand Central Publishing for the gifted copy.


I know that this book is centered around death but the synopsis had me convinced that it would be more light hearted than it is.

This is definitely not something that I normally read. I do not like sad books. The ache it brings with it is something that I tend to avoid.

Despite Dava being a narcissistic, self centered, unlikeable character, her death was a punch in the gut.

The melancholy, wistful tone of the book left me feeling emotionally drained and I do wish that I had not read it weeks before Christmas.

This was not a book for me. But could definitely be a gem to another type of reader.
