OTHERS WERE EMERALDS Paperback

This was such a heartwarming book. For the initial 15 pages, I found it to be too lyrical and poetic and thought I might end up not liking it. But gradually, the plot started taking hold and I liked reading about Bowie and Ai. Sying was absolute monstrous and her mind games were shown aptly. Everyone should have a friend like Brigitte and a mom like Lucille. The duo was amazing and inspite of their hardships, they were so kind to all. Others were Emeralds brings out many pertinent topics like racism, loss of family member, handling tragedy, grief and confusions of adolescents. All of this has been handled by author so sensitively. Midway through the book when the twist came, I was not prepared for it at all and was shocked as to how to handle it. Lang Leav has done a tremendous great job on her debut novel and am looking forward to read more of her other works.

I could not stop reading this book.
