“When i picked up this book i thought maybe it's just a normal tale of finding oneself and slice of life, coming of age elements interwined .. what i never knew was that this book gives you different characters to understand this book's concept in a intriguing way A teenager who is upset with the way his guardian is raising him, he has no country to call his own but just people with whom he forms deep connections. this book explores the theme of coming of age, slice of life, death, humanity , love, friendship & grief beautifully. I love the way each characters help Rusty understand that his decision to run away and live life was not wrong away from his guardian and constriants each character teach him life. I especially loved the way Somi called him "best favorite friend" always had his back, how Ranbir inviting Rusty to holi made him realise what he is missing out, how with Meena he understood an adolescent love, how when Rusty had nothing left and nowhere to go , he had the bonds he made with Somi , Ranbir and he had kishen he found his solace in him both were like a refuge seeking solace and comfort and they found it in each other. The story is set in Dehra and it also takes you to haridwar which is mesmerizingly written. Overall a great reading experience i got! got to live another story”
