My god, this book was amazing. Even with the very, very sensitive topic of incest and child neglect, the story as a whole was immensely touching and so intense I felt the urge to pause between chapters - yet couldn't! 
 From page one the character came to life for me. It was impossible not to sympathise with their situation; it was as if their very lives were unfolding in front of me, and by the time Maya and Lochan actually took their relationship to the next dangerous level I was already (incredibly) accepting it. I would go as far as admitting that I wanted them to succeed in their plans for a future together. 
 The ending made my heart ache. It was the ultimate sacrifice to both their family unit and to each other. 
 If you like good books, read this - you won't be disappointed.
