 I loved this book so much. I cried numerous times. I loved it and I love love and everything about this book. I will read anything by Marjan Kamali.

Only thing I didn't like was the representation of mental illness. It seemed a bit dramatized, but because I do not suffer from the mental illness that the character I'm referring to does, I can't say for sure if it's poor representation.
