A little more hopeful than An Emotion of Great Delight and definitely more romance-focused. But really emotional and hard-hitting exploration of the characters' experiences and the hateful institutions they're forced to bear.

I love the love story in this. It’s such a cute romance! I see a lot of myself in Shirin so I kept rooting for her. The writing style made me feel like I was right there with her. These characters! I just wanted Ocean to just back off sometimes because I didn’t want to see Shirin go through what she went through. I’m not a Muslim or Persian myself so I won’t comment on those aspects of the novel. Despite that, I do appreciate that Shirin’s emotions were not cast to the side solely because of her religion. I have so many more thoughts but I don’t feel like typing an entire essay on this novel.
