It's not always that a book lives up to the hype for me, but this one did. 4.5 Stars

Not because the writing is incredible, even though the Audiobook IS, but because it is good enough to grab you and keep you hooked until the end, and maybe it is incredible in that sense.

Pip isn't the most intelligent character I've ever had, but her flaws don't outweigh her purpose. Better than that Ravi is one of the few MMC that I haven't been put off in a long time. He's sweet and loving and by the end, I was rooting for them, just because they both deserved something genuinely good.

I'm usually on top of mysteries, so the first big twist didn't catch me by surprise, but the second and all that it entailed did, which is another reason for this being a high rating. I think it is one of the few books that a lot of people will be surprised by and that's a huge merit.

The thing I liked the most about these books was the meeting with Ravi's parents. Not because of the sappiness, but because they were owned and they got it, it is hopeful and I am a believer at the heart.
