4.0

I liked the relationships and friendships in this book very much. The relation of Grace with her her parents was depicted as a work in progress and were complex yet compelling to read. I liked it overall but I missed the romance element a bit. The parts with Grace’s partner were well developed but there was not enough of it. I didn’t get Yuki’s  character at first but then I got it and she was really nice to read about. About the feelings about having graduated but not found a place I can’t say anything so that was not included in the review. I liked the open ending because it didn’t magically fixes Grace’s problems but made it clear they will eventually figure them out.

I really liked Agnes as a side character and the orange groves of grace’ mom. The relationship between Raj and Meera and the tea room was nicely written and complex and compelling. The depiction of mental health seemed good but I am not an expert, so.
