I was really excited for the star concept of this book and the Hindu constellations and mythology influences. Sadly the plot did not live up to my expectations and it felt like there was a lot of time where nothing happened and the book could've been at least 150 pages shorter. For most of the book I found Sheetal to be very annoying and whiny and hated how she got mad at everyone else for keeping things from her but never held herself truly accountable for her actions. Very self-centered and the romance/obsession with Dev felt forced. The ending was rushed compared to the rest of the book's pacing and a little cliche as well. Overall I had to force myself to read this and seriously considered DNFing at the halfway point.
