Pneuma took me on a journey of self discovery. I came to the realisation that essentially we are all searching for the same thing in life - understanding. Navigating through life's setbacks and obstacles is what builds our true character. In this book, we experience life through the brave eyes of Neha who takes the "bull by the horns" and lives life by her own rules.

The writing is good. The story seemed directionless, and ended abruptly.
