"Every lemon will bring forth a child, and the lemons will never die out."
everybody needs to read this book. what an inspiring, HEARTBREAKING STORY. my gosh i’m speechless. the characters are compelling and the romance was beautiful. this book was hard to read, but it’s so important. reading about the struggle in syria, and what it’s citizens have to go through for YEARS it’s gut wrenching. i will never forget this book.

I feel torn about this one!! I liked that it sheds light on the Syrian civil war and the story is truly heartbreaking but the writing fell a little flat at times
