Recommendation – Very High
Conclusion,
This ignominious read has multiple POV’s which alternates between all the three cousins. It’s also infused in between with the past happenings. Even though there is so much happening, it is written trenchantly. The dots are connected beautifully. The plot and character development is blase. I was hooked to this book right from the start till the end. Overall a brilliant read and I thoroughly enjoyed this captivating read.
P.S – Thank You Dave for organizing and inviting me to be a part of this magnificent blog tour. Thank You Penguin and NetGalley for providing me with an advanced ecopy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
