Wow! This one snapped me out of my rut. I related a lot to Emoni and felt for her as she took steps to growing forward and figuring out her life path.
Not only was Emoni the same ethnicity as me but the story was set in a place where I live AND she visited a place I've been before out of country. It was very easy for me to imagine myself in Emoni's place - seeing the scenery vividly and feeling all her emotions.
Great ending too!
