This is the first book by Anika N Rao which I have read. I was absolutely wowed by it and my heart did a happy dance after reading the language..the way story, each character and each and every scene was portrayed.
Loved Pihu and Mihir and even smirky Aditya- whose character had a small window to make an impression and he made it strongly and profoundly.
Both the lead characters - Mihir and Pihu, were very well written and felt very humane, flawed and perfect at the same time.
I usually tend to finish reading books very quickly but I took time with this one and read it at a slower pace, enjoying the story thoroughly.
