Thank you so much Storyshine PR for this copy and for having me on this tour🥹💗
I loveddd this book and it honestly came at the perfect time because I’ve been wanting to explore more Indian authors and this just felt meant to be. It's such a soft, quiet and gentle story with a childhood love that slowly grows on you but Anika’s journey is what stayed with me. Watching her break out of the "naive and protected" image her family and Vihaan had of her was so satisfying (wish I could do the same 😭kidding… but not)
Also it’s under 140 pages so you can literally read it in a day. Perfect comfort read when you want something quick but meaningful.
Warm, heartfelt and just really special!💗
