A very ambitious and complex story, Awakening Colors follows Pari's journey after a fateful car accident, in which her ability to read other people's colors flourishes and helps her understand them on a deeper level. The main three characters are instantly memorable--Pari is an active heroine who makes her own choices and owns them, her best friend Navina is awesome and down-to-earth, and the mysteriously sinister Arche will keep you guessing where his true motivations lie.Sometimes grammatical errors or wandering sentences make it difficult to understand Pari's philosophical musings, and the pacing can be slow and meandering at times, losing some of the plot's urgency. However, for her debut novel, Ritu K. Gupta proves herself to be a very thoughtful and creative writer interested in exploring all colors of the human condition. I look forward to see what's next from this author!*I received a free copy of this ebook that does not affect my opinion in any way*
