Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the arc. All opinions are my own.

Circle with no center was a deep dive on how to let others into our innermost circles without compromising who we are and leaving behind the fears that this can cause.

Deepak’s tone was captivating and I thoroughly enjoyed the introspection of the characters as they examined why they had certain feelings and how they chose to work through them. The story flips between two perspectives. Interestingly, Deepak chose to not give names to the main characters (leading to only references of she or he). The story follows two casual acquaintances from college as they reconnect on a dating app. I thought the male main character was more intriguing, feeling stuck and trying to revitalize his life. Especially in chapter 16!

Overall, the story was a nice and easy read. I found that some of the material got repetitive as the characters tend to dwell on their feelings instead of talking things out with one another. I found it was more satisfying when our characters began to use new methods to work through their thoughts. Excited to see what the author chooses to write about next!

Thank you to NetGalley for providing this ARC.

This book had no description on NetGalley or on Goodreads when I requested it, so I really didn't know what I was getting into, but the title intriged me.

The book is written is first person, which I'm okay with, but it takes a moment for me to get used to.

The writing style of the book is very unique. It's written in short, choppy sentences and is very descriptive of the littlest mundane parts of life. It wasn't my cup of tea, but I know some people would really enjoy it.

The ending conflict felt a little silly for a book that I expected to be more serious and meaningful. Overall I expected something more profound from this book based on the title, it was a pretty standard love story. I think it'll be more enjoyable if people go into it with the right expectations.
