Review:
To begin, the cover is beautiful, at first it will be difficult to guess why such cover but once you read a few chapters you will realise the cover matches the book perfectly.
I love trying new genres and I was very keen to try this book. It’s so beautifully written with a tint of nostalgia and taste of all traditional recipes. Along with the protagonist I was keen to receive the letter and to add it in my cooking list. Such a unique story and a very unexpected ending give a perfect touch to the book.
Overall this Diwali, along with a tint of nostalgia and unlimited snacks and sweets, this book should be in your TBR list too
