This story is so so good, I'm simply eating it up. I find myself bursting into a soft chuckle at random, even dark parts because of the underlying sense of unintentional humor. The characters are well etched and defined there's such clarity, yet intentions and behavior is hidden from us. I'm so intrigued, but this is such a simple, amazingly engaging read that I don't mind the mystery at all.
This hits home because of all the highschool memories and the fact that I was always an outcast. I can relate so much to Khushi... I went to this elitist school and the disparity between the children of socialites and rich CEOs and me.
About Aman's suicide, I had one...acquaintance in the 11th grade. She'd fallen in love with her tution teacher who was 23 and was determined to spend her life with him...not knowing he had lured many such girls for money. She used to gift him Iphones and shirts...it was disturbing. I think I was quite desperate for acceptance and she sort of emotionally leeched off me (because she was never a friend to me) and I often let her. I know it seems selfish, but so was she. Eventually, the police were involved and she attempted suicide due to the shock of his betrayal. Finally, after a couple of years of therapy, she was better. Last I heard, she was studying fashion in London.
I don't know why I shared this...but it's always felt like I've viewed my highschool life like an outsider...never really part of anything.
Oooh the nostalgia is so strong. Can't believe I debated reading this for over a week.
Sorry for the incoherency and grammatical errors, it's 2 am here
