The book cover was an instant draw due to the bright colours of the fruit. This demonstration of a love of food shines through in the extract as Emoni mentions her cooking prowess and childhood memories.
Another aspect that drew me in is that Emoni is a teen mother, not a usual protagonist but the book cleverly didn't make it clear she was a teen mother til a few pages it, when I was already invested.
I'm certainly intrigued about Emoni now and hopeful for her future.
