Review:
Firstly, the cover of the book and the title are good. The book gives the vibe of being a murder mystery but its nowhere close to it. My expectation from the suspense was much more but the book falls flat on that. The entire suspense is written off in few paragraphs, post that, the 2ndhalf of the book just revolves around Mina and Neelu and their friendship in two different time zones. Too much details about Mina’s work and personal life in the 2ndhalf of the book seems unnecessary. Both female characters, Mina and Neelu have been portrayed as level headed and confident women trying to make their life in a foreign land.
Overall an easy read. You may want to complete the book once you star reading it because you would want to know what happened in the end.
My rating ⭐⭐⭐/5

This is a very sensitive topic and I’m surprised it’s a fiction. But a very nice review and I loved the picture you took of the book.
