This one started out very strong. There are a lot of delightful moments in this story. The two main characters are fully developed and engaging. Mukesh is a joy and he made me smile quite a lot. The love of reading, and how reading can shape a life, pours through. I appreciated the passion for reading that is expressed in this book. It was interesting to read how each book on The Reading List impacted the different characters in different ways.

The reasons I give it 4 stars instead of a higher rating is that there is one element of the story that is left vague and unexplored regarding our main character's brother. I won't say more than that as to not spoil anything. Also, the emotional impact of the flashbacks with tertiary characters is not as strong as it could be.

Overall, an enjoyable read.
