Rounded up from 3.75. I really enjoyed the book within a book concept. It was like two books for the price of one! There was definitely some thought provoking and soul searching content and I enjoyed learning about Rumi and Shams. I didn’t fully connect well with it but I think that was my state of mind and reading the book at the wrong time. I also struggled with Ella’s choice at the end. A good one

" عندما خرجت , دمدمت قاعدة من قواعد شمس : ليس من المتأخر مطلقًا أن تسأل نفسك, هل أن مستعد لتغيير الحياة التي أحياها ؟هل أنا مستعد لتغيير نفسي من الداخل

"و حتى لو كان قد تبقى من حياتك يوم واحد يشبه اليوم الذي سبقه , فإن ذلك يدعو للرثاء. ففي كل لحظة , و مع كل نَفَس جديد ,يجب على المرء أن يتجدد و يتجدد ثانية . و لا توجد إلا وسيلة واحدة حتى يولد المرء في حياة جديدة و هي أن يموت فبل الموت "
