Okay, first of all: THIS COVER. Like wow. Moving along…Right from the start of the book, you know this is going to be a wild and funny ride. Dasgupta’s writing is hilarious and descriptive, and she makes it so easy to imagine the world she’s created for these characters. The friendship that grows between Kiranmala and Neel is honest, sometimes awkward (in that adorable way a 12 year can be lol), and, eventually, so full of trust that it warms your heart. Kiranmala, even though she’s scared out of her wits, never backs down from any challenge presented to her, and she’s a heroine I’d want any little girl to read about and admire. I will definitely be continuing with this series, and I’m so glad I already have Game of Stars on my shelves!
