Ugh. I hope you’re hungry… FOR NOTHING. DNF at 65%.
I had such high hopes, esp with the raving reviews and premise. I liked the writing style that mixed English and Hindi super naturally. It makes the story more immersive.
The plot is terrible. Literally nothing happens for half the book. I googled the rest of it and it seemed like the main part of the book came out of left field. There are no hints or meaningful buildup to what happens. It was such a chore to read this. Skip it.
