I loved this thriller. I couldn't put it down. So many twists and unexpected characters. It was thrilling to read. A change of writing style from normally and unpredictability

After this book being a recommended TIKTOK book. I figured I would give it a try. I can see the fuss for this one. It's witty, funny and tugs at the heartstrings.
Most definitely worth reading again and again.
Nisha Sharma is very talented and I look forward to her other books.

Informative and perfect if you have ADHD and need a non fiction that has more interactive information while setting out spaciously and interesting.

I really wanted to love this book. I enjoyed reading it happened one summer and was excited to read this but it just didn't hit my expectations. I think irs over hyped, too predictable and could have been shortened. Don't get me wrong, there were some parts of this book I enjoyed. The first part was good but I felt it slipping away.

After hearing this being recommended. I decided to give the author another try. Previously I read this girl and it was rated 3 stars. I was surprised at how well written this is. Its slow to begin with but gets better a quarter of the way through. Not my favourite author but pleasantly surprised.
