Oh my! Parts of this book broke my heart! I’m not easily impressed, but Beena has such a beautiful writing style, it’s impossible not to love her books! ❤️ And this one was no exception. I fell in love with this novella. It was so cute and innocent. And I loved how Beena continued to add Farsi/Urdu words in the story. Just like I read about Red and Kabir’s word of endearment “azizam”, in this case we had “joonam” which I loved even more! By this and by adding details about the Iranian culture, Beena made me wanna know more about cultures I’ve never expressed a certain interest before reading her books. And this is huge!
Cyrah and Ryder’s story begins when Cyrah comes to Canada for studies. But their journey has so many impediments due to the way Cyrah was raised and the cultural rules she has to follow. The ups and downs make this novella an easy read. I devoured it! It spiked my interest in a couple of minutes after starting it. So I recommend it with all my heart.
The only thing I felt that was missing were more chapters.
