One of which is to move in across the hall from him so he can keep me safe. Like I need protection after a little felony mix-up. Not to mention the fact that he was apparently in the military but is now working in a private contract with the government but is also the son of a major mob boss who no one knows he’s related to? Again… sure… What really sealed the deal for me was that he lied to the FMC about various things but when she finally admits to the pregnancy and loss of the baby that she has basically told no one about he gets pissy with her? And she’s sitting there sobbing about this super emotional thing that she’s kept bottled up and has been dealing with all by herself and he starts talking about how he’s “always thinking about how to get people to submit” to him? Yeah… that’s totally the correct way to handle a situation like that… The first time I had heard the word urban Naxalite was during the arrest of the Indian poet Varavara Rao. Anyway, I did not follow up on that case and time slipped like usual.Izzy had gotten herself straight and out of juvie and Dante had approached her to earn her degree while she worked for his company, going undercover. She was good at what she did until she got Delilah involved and they both goth caught. So it looked like Dante was going to Puerto Rico to save the woman he loved and find out why she had ghosted him all those years ago…. Here’s the thing: I hate books with twins. I didn’t know that there would be twins when I started reading this so I tried to push past it (I promise I really did). Like usual with twins in books, there’s secrets, competitive (ish) attitudes, good-twin/bad-twin complexes, and all around a lot of hurt on both sides. I could have moved on past all of this. What I couldn’t move past was the MMC’s relationship with the twin. This book is a memoir(prison) of his journey from being a privileged Parsi youth and finally spending ten years in the Indian jails (specifically seven years in Tihar Jail). He discusses the judiciary challenges, his encounter with other prison mates which includes Khalistan leaders, Islamists, and the famous Afzal Guru. There are many times when he quotes Albert Camus, Rumi, Shakespeare. Read an excerpt from Kobad Ghandy's Fractured Freedom, a stirring narrative of his activism and incarceration".

This book may be read with diff. perceptions : One being arrest of KG as a common man and a senior citizen and his stay for almost 10 umyears in different prisons across the country and his treatment as a criminal. The annoyingly slow pace of our age old judicial system which kept him incarcerated for 10 years without proving any substantial crime except section 420 for impersonation.

A great read about the Judicial / jail system and tmhis view on present condition of Communism. Please note, Reading this book certainly doesn't make one a Communist. Ghandy, however, did not explain how a racist Anglo-Saxon nation could remain racist and still become rich and industrialized. Why I am a communist: Activist Kobad Ghandy on ideology and Utopia".

I came across this author on BookTok and so thankful I did because Shain sent me the ARC of this book (as well as Shattered Vows!) As much as I enjoyed Shattered Vows, this book was my favorite of the two! It was steamy and hot, while also giving you the super sweet moments of the brother's best friend/childhood crush tropes. Dante was a DREAM. I very much am manifesting him as my future husband because he was hot and somewhat morally-gray, while being the literally cutest human on the planet. Very big fan. Kobad Ghandy book row: Chief of Maharashtra govt.'s language advisory panel, 4 members of literary board resign as protest". The Hindu. 14 December 2022.

Born in the cradle of upper-middle-class privilege in a Mumbai Parsi household and educated at one of India’s finest schools, Kobad Ghandy’s life and career could have scaled heights in the bustling world of corporate finance. Only it did not. Instead, he chose to become an activist working for the oppressed of the country. In the present day, a lot of the first 35% or so of the book was really sad because we get both POVs and can see that they are both clearly still in love with the other but not wanting to admit it since they are both hurt over the past. Instead of being honest with each other, they choose to try and prove how much they are over the other person by talking about the other people they’ve slept with, and in Lilah's case, the dates she was planning to go on. There was a lot of internal dialogue in Lilah's chapters about her miscarriage and subsequent depression, and about how she felt like she wasn't good enough for Dante, and about how her they couldn't make a baby together (essentially assuming that one miscarriage meant she'd never be able to have a healthy pregnancy with him), and honestly it all felt very over the top to me. I don't want to downplay the impact that a miscarriage can have on someone, but to be 18 years old and miscarry an unplanned pregnancy and then let it be still impacting your relationships with everyone around you more than 5 years later even though she's been in therapy all that time seemed unrealistic to me. And living next to the guy I gave my innocence to a long time ago may actually end in my complete devastation.
