The title was intriguing and this book was in my radar for a few months, when it got selected as BOTM for Indian readers, and I utilized the opportunity.

This very rarely happens. I did not like the audio of this book so much that I couldn’t finish it. I don’t get the fuss about this book. I would give it half a star if I could.It
