The book had an interesting premise, but I can't say the same for Asha and Cyrus' relationship. Honestly, I couldn't see the point of it considering the fact that once their startup started hitting off, they spent the majority of their time at the offices then they did at home. It's not the main point of the book, but I kept asking myself what they were even doing together.

Cyrus, once the Startup hit off, started coming across as an arrogant narcissist. As for Asha, well she was clearly talented, but I hate the way she let the men walk all over her, and I also disliked them, for not listening to her.

I have to say I saw what happened towards the end coming a mile away, especially when certain characters thought they knew best and didn't listen to the warnings. I was very tempted to shout ‘serves you right' at them!

Thank you to Tahmima Anam, NetGalley and publishers Canongate for the chance to read this book.
