 ***Minor spoilers, TW (IN BOOK, NOT REVIEW): RAPE, SELF-HARM, SUICIDAL THOUGHTS*** 
 This novel is told from two perspectives, both teenage girls who live in Mumbai. Noor is the daughter of a sex worker, and lives under her mother's bed in the brothel she works at. She takes whatever scraps she can to survive on, and hopes to use her intelligence and education to get her family out. Grace is a transfer student who is pretty well off. Her brother and best friend moved away, so she's left with virtually no friends, and is later the victim of some pretty intense bullying. She loses hope and doesn't really know what to do. Soon, these two girls will cross paths and influence each other in ways that they couldn't have ever imagined. 
 This is another book I had to read for my school's book club. This would have to be one of my favourites out of the 10 books we have to read so far. It had so many good aspects to it. The characters, first of all, were fantastic. While the first part of Grace's story was predictable, I quickly forgot about that as the plot grew more interesting. One thing I noticed was how the texting in one part of the book wasn't really how teenagers text, but since that's pretty much the only texting in the book, it only bothered me in the moment. The plot was quite interesting, especially Noor's perspective, just because I've never read a book with a perspective like hers before, while Grace's perspective is more common. It was difficult to read at times, what with their different struggles, but it was done very well. 
 The only other thing I would want to improve is the passage of time. Sometimes we skipped a few months, sometimes a few years, and it confused me at certain points. I think it would've done the book some good if passages from the past either had "x years ago" or that the chapters had dates on them. I'm not sure if this bothered anyone else, but it's just a minor thing that bothered me at times. 
 Overall, this was a great read with only a few downsides and a lot of positive things. The characters were realistic and interesting, Noor's perspective kept me on my toes, and the dynamic between the characters was good. I've never read a book that had a perspective like Noor's before, and I'm glad that this was my first because it was just so well done. I would definitely recommend it to anyone, but just make sure that you're fine with the things mentioned in the TW.
