A flat lay with cream background with a Kindle. 5 Star review. I invested in Meera and Krishan from the beginning. Both have tragic pasts. Meera is still recovering from a toxic marriage and breakup, and Krishan is grieving his soulmate, who died tragically. I enjoyed the developing connection between Meera and Krishan, the humour and the vivid settings. The storytelling is captivating, bringing the characters and events to life.
