I'm going, to be honest here. I have read this book recently for Jcb literature long list reading challenge. And I'm totally unflattered.

This book reminded me of Ruchika's case and how the criminal escaped from the law by using loopholes. This book kinda has the same theme but I can't tolerate the protagonist Janaki at all.

Janaki is self-righteous and thinks whatever she does is right. Though I admired her courage to stand up for her friend, it was not impactful. Also, she's such a hypocrite.

And as the story progresses, I literally got frustrated with her behaviour. I liked Ajoba and his calm demeanour.
And I feel that the story is kind of rushed. The characters are not impactful. And the writing is just lazy. This is just a one time read for me.
