I thoroughly enjoyed the first part of the book, when we meet Leila and read through her and her friends' stories. They are so tragic and so touching at the same time.
It was also very interesting that Istambul was the backdrop of this book. All these characters ended up living in a city that also kind of despised them.
However, the second part of the book was less captivating and sometimes a bit too funny and shallow in contrast with the rest of the book.
Still, I must say that I was sad the book ended as it was such a delightful read.

I have to say that some parts are really hard to swallow and one feels deeply sorry for what Leila has to live through. But than you get to know her five friends and their relationship just warm your heart.
