I’m glad you reviewed it. It sounds well done & quite moving. Publishers Weekly said the ending is too drawn-out. Did you feel that way? Did it seem overly long? cheers.

I especially liked the growth of Rishi as he came to love Iggy!

I downloaded the sample of this one and am planning to read it at some point.
