Last year I had to do a project on UK politics. I ended up finding the ‘easy version’ of the Labour Party’s manifesto. Well, this book evokes the same feeling as an easy-to-read manifesto; and, sadly, I don’t say this as a compliment. The author seems to have trouble (or unwillingness) writing depth, nuance or antagonists that aren’t plainly cartoonish.

Still, having read The Henna Wars, I was prepared for this and wasn’t too underwhelmed by the juvenile, kiddie-pool-deep, and fairly untalented writing. With that in mind, Ishu and Hani were cute together, and I liked the relationship between Ishu and Nik!
