's review

really liked it

4+ stars
In Tehran 1953, Roya and Bahman both 17 yrs old, first meet at a stationary shop that they both frequent. They are rapidly and intensely taken with each other, a romance blooms and quite soon they are engaged.
Fate has other things planned for these two souls and theirs is a powerful love story with feelings that last a lifetime, despite occurrences and people that separated them.
This book made me cry.

Bianca Nice review, Karen. Pretty much every other book I'm reading it's making me cry or get (more) anxious.


Meredith (Trying to catch up!) Fabulous review, Karen!

Thank you Bianca! I started The Nickel Boys a few weeks back and although the writing was good, my anxiety level from the physical beatings was too much for me.. maybe I’ll try to read it another time🤷‍♀�
