This book was great but was a difficult read based on the topic at hand. There are triggers which can cause distress

One if the BEST books I've ever read. The story and characters are brilliant and amazingly written. It does get a little slow    at the middle. The pacing is great and I couldn't put the book down. It's hard to read as it contains sensible topics. The end is just heartbreaking and leaves you with a bittersweet feeling. This is a book people should read at least once in their life.

First things first I am so glad I picked this book and read it. I don't know when was the last time I felt so many emotions for a book I was reading. Khaled Hosseini...you gorgeous gorgeous human! How can someone write this beautiful?!?!?! I personally hate reading 3rd person POV but this book...this book is just perfect. The writing is just gorgeous ( lack of better adjectives)
I completed reading this book in 4 days and believe me when I say this...I was dreaming about these characters in my sleep. I was in my imaginary Kabul and Herat. I love the relevance of certain aspects in the story...something mentioned at a point in this story will become relevant in the future. I loved Tariq. I loved how Mariam and Laila's stories mirror and contrast each other at the same time. It's an easy 5 stars for me. Thank you for coming this far into this review. I really hope you can feel the emotions the way I did if you pick it up. Do check TWs before reading. Thank you! Hope you have a great day.
