everytime i read a book about generational trauma I'm like yea this is the content i like, most definitely.
But anyway, i recieved a netgalley arc of this, AND can we talk about it? I need to talk about it because this shattered my heart to pieces, writing this and I'm sobbing fat ugly tears on my bed. it's just? This is about love and loss and growth and everything in between.
Reading about Bobby, Saeed, Moud it just? It hurt. Obviously I'm not iranian but if i had a dollar for every book with set in iran i read this year I'd have 2 dollars which isn't much but I STILL CALL IT AN EXPERIENCE. Getting to experience the culture even if second chance, it's an honor. I am once again talking about how i cried during every page post the 60% mark. thank you for this book. I want to cherish this experience forever. If it weren't already clear i recommend this book to everyone who comes across it<3.

What a gorgeous novel full of loveable characters and a storyline that I couldn't put down. This one is a must read!
