REVIEW:

• I like the way the main Protagonist was portrayed, she was really strong and a fighter and that is how every girl should be. There was this quote given in the book for her which goes like - "If I had to survive in a river full of crocodiles, I couldn’t be the silent fish. So, I became what I had to, to survive this land of crocodiles. I became what they call thick-skinned. I became a badass." The life of her really felt real, all the thoughts she had and you know the way she was, it really felt real.

• The author has intriguing writing style. The exclamations and questions at the right time made the reading real and beautiful. Descriptions and detailed characters made the book extraordinary. Cover page is indeed beautiful and title signifies a very important night in the story.

• The story is the proof of letting your past fears down and move on instead of running away from them. And if you face your fears, then definitely you get all the happiness that life is waiting to give you. The story also put light on the fact that justice is justice, it doesn't depend on gender or caste or financial status. The lawyer should fight for justice by moving above all these differences. Also, the story teaches us to fight against wrong doing and support right work.

I recommend this to all the women out there, Tanvi's character is really someone to learn from. I'm glad that i stumbled upon this book and read this awesome story. Do give a read to it if you love reading fiction, romance and believes in equality. 😉❣
