What was your overall opinion of the book?
At the start of the book it switched timelines a few times within chapters and I found it a bit chaotic and confusing. There were also loads of character introductions in one scene that completely threw me off for a while but once it settled down it was a really great read!
-
What was your favourite moment/scene in the book?
When Dev and Willow watch Om Shanti Om together… I loved the intimacy, the easy and quiet way she knew how to cheer Dev up after a bad day. It really spoke to how long they’ve known each other and how well she knows him.
-
Which character did you like best/most identify with?
I liked Dev the most for sure. He was a real book boyfriend, golden retriever.
-
Did any themes or messages in the book change your perspective on anything?
Sometimes omitting things to avoid hurting people just hurts them more.
-
How did the author’s writing style impact your reading experience?
The dialogue at times was amazing! But like I mentioned before the start was a bit chaotic and the epilogue was way too long for me.
-
Was this book relatable to you in any way?
Nope!
-
What is the one thing about this book you will remember, even a year from now?
I think the image of 3 boys having a heart to heart by the beach was really nicely done, small scrap included.
