review 1: I was pretty disappointed with the first half of the book. I've enjoyed books by this author before but somehow this one isn't my cup of tea. Ruby Miller's narration comes across as whiny, overly dramatic and pathetic. There I've said it. There were simply too many unwise and annoying things she did, like overspending on useless souvenirs, expecting the India train service to be luxurious and running away from Jack after spotting the ruby ring without clearing her doubts. And it's not that she's a teenager... The plot picks up halfway and I enjoyed reading about her impromptu exploration with Rocky and Billy. I like the sound of Pushkar. Sadly though, I didn't feel convinced that Jack and Ruby could fall in love with each other. The author doesn't really paint a clear pict... moreure of his personality apart from him having a sassy mouth. I didn't feel a connection between those two. And what are the chances that she meets the lady and her daughter who are connected to Jack... On an airplane? I know the author wove in a bit of magic and destiny stuff but the idea doesn't gel well in the story. Lastly, I find it quite ridiculous that Amy and Shine didn't seek advice from religious leaders for their apparent ill-luck in their would be marriage.... Ruby had to fly to the rescue using... google... I don't know, what can I say? I like the author but not Ruby Miller.
review 2: Een awesome boek, echt waar. Voor dit boek vond ik India altijd klinken als iets wat ik nooit zou bezoeken, het trok me niet erg. Maar nu wil ik er naar toe, naar alle fantastische locaties die beschreven zijn in het boek. En een erg stuntelend hoofdpersonage die zichzelf keer op keer voor schut zet bij de aantrekkelijke Amerikaanse vreemdeling, heerlijk om het te lezen. Het einde was ook perfect, hoe alles heel perfect bij elkaar kwam. Ik ga echt wel meer lezen van Alexandra Potter! less
