there are many important issues the author tried to cover from natural progress of college life, college politics, reservation, north east discrimination to adding romance, friendships and family elements...and finally the sexual assault, death and the outrage of crowd united for justice all over the country....these are all subjects holding depth and definitely need to be talked about but to put them all in a single book and make a love story out of it seems too forced and then unfortunately, there is not enough of anything...the writing is too bland and most importantly, I could not find any trigger warning!! to keep something which can invoke a sea of emotions in an individual as a suspense for the last few chapters of book without a warning on the first few pages in bold letters is completely unethical. giving a star keeping in mind the efforts it takes to write a book otherwise it is far less than that for me.
