this book was the most raw, vulnerable and intense read ive read so far. the writing style was beautiful and poetic and heartfelt and heart wrenching but heartwarming.. AND WAY WAY WAY MORE. its the type of book that鈥檒l have u sobbing by pg 20- believe me it is. uve just known the characters, uve just started following up with the plot line, then BANG, ur ugly crying. u just cant not cry bsraha. u鈥檇 be heartless not to. w as much as i like w read english books more often, i can nvr ever relate to western characters as much as arabic ones bezat lama neb2a mn masr too馃. it feels like u connect automatically with the characters even if u dont like them, u鈥檒l always have a nagging feeling of justification for their actions and so.. and it felt like the author attacked my thoughts thruout the entire book like man leave some privacy馃槶 fr its like he wrote a book from my thoughts? idek but thru out this, its like words were entering right thru my heart leaving me so bare. tho i feel like smth was missing sena? msh plot wise really, bs howa it was written from the authors pov, then from the main characters鈥� (younis) pov, el fekra en his older sister (maha) was a main character too, w yes we all expected where she鈥檒l end fl plot bs i feel like her pov was very valid.. wouldve added more to the rawness and all the overwhelming feels uk? she even had her romance too, w younis did too, and we know all abt how younis鈥� went like altho it was a subplot, bs i feel like maha鈥檚 romance wouldve added perfection to the book, according to the plot w eli kan beyehsalaha and her character and so.. all in all its still an amazing read, my 2nd arabic book, it even pulled me more into arabic books which im r r glad that it happened, recommend it so much, have a great day luvs<3
