I'll be honest, I don't know if this book works as young adult for me. It is incredibly nuanced, and such a specific situation that I can't imagine a lot of teens being drawn to. Or maybe it just came out before its time. I wonder how it would do if it came out today. I still enjoyed the book, and I thought the conflict was handled very well.

I absolutely adore this book. The relationships were interesting and realistic. I've recommended this book to teens and adults so many times since reading it.

This coming of age story is so heart breaking. I loved the story and all of the emotions it put me through. I felt so much for the girls and what they were forced through for their love.

This was a different kinda read for me.

Since they were young Sahar knew she loved and wanted to marry her best friend Nasrin. Unfortunately same sex marriage is illegal in Iran except if you get a sex change. Will she do whatever she needs to, to be with the woman she loves?

I loved the insight into living in Iran. Quite an eye opener. Well written informative read.
