Arabian Jazz by Diana Abu-Jaber

2.0

I guess I kept reading because I liked the characters, but other than that I found the book disappointing. It seemed like the author was trying to tell too many different stories, so while some were very good, it felt like they didn't get enough attention to do them justice. There was also a plot twist or two (if you can call them plot twists when the story lacks a clear plot) that was so random and out-of-nowhere that it felt forced and unnecessary, instead of feeling surprising and driving the story forward.
