*Its quite a pleasure to read such a marvelous book. I loved this book so much that its hard to form coherent toughts but i couldn't pass this without saying something.
This book is a kind of book that makes you think, question and understand lots of things. It makes u think about it and keeps your mind working even when your not reading it. It is obviously a carefully written book & unravels the unspoken part of society. The way it handles tough and senstive topics ( like anxiety, suicide, sexual abuse, drug abuse, PTSD...) is very authentic and perfectly done.
The characters were well built & the different plot lines we follow were woven exquistely and entwine in a beautifully heartbreaking way in the end(that twist..!).
The writing was perfection. The first few pages might feel a little slow paced because it takes its time in character building, but the more you read it the more you understand the significance of it all.
If you haven't read this book yet, even if u won't like this I'm very sure that atleast u will learn something from it so I highly..highly recommend that u do. And Dr. Mihiret surely is a very talented writer and I hope he writes more books like this.
