This book has a ton of personality and with every character it feels as if you know them personally. Avashthi does a good job in ensuring that all emotions by the characters is clearly portrayed to the reader. Overall a great read for anyone looking for something scandalous and thrilling.
I have heard about this book multiple times but was never told what it was about. This review does a great job of telling a synopsis that entices others to go and read this book.
