    I enjoyed the book. The suspense kept building up. It was hard to keep the book down. I will read this again soon.

    A very dark and engaging look into a very believable possible future. Some scenes were very unsettling, I was on the edge of my seat the whole time!

  3. Debarpan Paul

    The premise was good, but the execution was lacking. The story was slow and the ending was abrupt. I was very disappointed.

  4. Chirag Arora

    This book is a masterpiece! The writing is gorgeous, and the story is both heartbreaking and hopeful. Shalini’s journey is unforgettable. Must read!

  5. Divyanshi

    Leila is a disturbing yet compelling read. Akbar paints a stark picture of a dystopian future, but Shalini’s search for Leila kept me hooked. Some parts felt slow, but overall, a thought-provoking novel.

  6. Pradyot Sharma

    A powerful and unsettling story about a mother’s love in a terrifying future. Akbar’s writing is beautiful and haunting. I couldn’t put it down! Highly recommend.

  7. Shrey Ramanbhai Patel

    Leila is a chilling look at a possible future. While the themes are important, I found the story a bit too bleak. Shalini’s desperation is palpable.

  8. Smarth Narula

    Leila is a gripping and emotional story about loss and resilience. Akbar’s writing is sharp and insightful. A must-read for fans of dystopian fiction.

    Leila is a beautifully written and thought-provoking novel. The characters are complex, and the plot is full of twists and turns. Highly recommended!

  10. Amarnath Dutt Sharma

    Leila is an unsettling novel. The subject matter made me uncomfortable. It is not a book for everyone.

  11. Rohit

    A disturbing but important read. Leila explores themes of faith and class in a powerful way. Some scenes were hard to read, but the story stayed with me.

  12. Vandita Mahaur

    This book was amazing! The story, the characters, and the world-building was superb. It will be a story that I keep with me forever!

  13. Thushar Ajith

    The book was okay. It didn’t really meet my expectations. I thought the plot was interesting, but the characters were boring.

  14. Palak Gupta

    The world-building in Leila is incredible. However, I struggled to connect with the characters. The plot was interesting, but the pacing felt uneven. I am still thinking about the themes.

  15. Kanishka

    Akbar creates a believable dystopian society. The story is engaging, and Shalini’s determination is inspiring. A solid read, though a bit depressing.

  16. Iqraa

    I was intrigued by the premise of Leila, but ultimately disappointed. The world-building was strong, but the plot felt predictable. Not my favorite dystopian novel.
