"When will Willow Die?" was a one-of-a-kind reading experience. An unforgettable one. Willow and her friends constitute the myriad of broken people. They mirror our own confused, despondent yet hopeful selves. In their interactions, I discovered shared empathy, familiarity, comfort and the search for deep connection. The psychological narrative reflects the modern "existential ache" and the relentless pursuit for happiness in a callous world. Through deep friendships, unexpected encounters and heart-wrenching moments - the pages left me both haunted and enlightened. Willow helped me realize that perhaps, the beauty of "living" lies in feeling everything and still choosing to stayπ€
Although I would have liked a stronger focus on the central love story, I liked how the book brings Khasi traditions and folklore into the story, making it feel different from the usual novels. It took some patience to get through as im generally used to reading fast paced stores. But overall, The depth had been carrying me the entire time so it's a 9/10 read for me.
Some chapters felt slower than others, Which had me crashing out indeed. Overall, it was an appealing read to me.
