She must leave everything behind and enter a world she can't remember, a world that used to exist in the safe confines of her mind. And if that isn't enough, the almost-war her mother supposedly stopped comes back to haunt her.Happy birthday to her.

[Maitreyee Mandal · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book is a very good attempt as a debut novel. Thumb’s up to the Author’s ability to build an imagery with words. It is quite humorous at places, especially her ability to lighten up a serious situation with quick humor is commendable. I found many places to be very moving and high on empathy.
Having said that, there r places which the author could have emphasized more than others. I felt a slight clashing between the narrative and the conversational sections.
But overall a very enjoyable read, I was very eager to find out what happens next. Quite a page turner as a first attempt. Can’t wait for the next installment!!
