review 1: The book starts off promisingly enough. Korobi must do what she has set her heart on. But with the desire to follow each character's story and emotional turmoil, the book sort of skims over the parts that really need attention. Korobi's , especially, I feel has been shortchanged. She does try to tie in all the loose ends but some things just don't fall into place. Sonia's story and their break-up is explained so fleetingly, it doesn't warrant the feelings Korobi's boyfriend has for her. I love Chitra's style of writing but this one wasn't her best.
review 2: This is a difficult review to write. While this was a page turner for me, and some how drew me in. So much was predictable. Perhaps the writing as pertains to the main characters, Korobi and Rajat made me c... moreare about them and wanted to see how their lives would or would not end up together. In some ways I felt it was formualic with the endless obstacles/disappointments. If you want an uncomplicated read this would be for you. less
