First, I’d like to say I did like this book but I felt frustrated by the repetition. I wished there had been more backstory about Yara’s mother and grandmother, and less of the endless cycle of Yara and Fadi’s relationship. I felt that there was more potential for this story that wasn’t realized. The writing is lovely and engaging. I just wanted a bit more to the story that didn’t feel like reading the same chapter in different words so many times over. All that said, it’s still definitely worth the read.
