It really was a fun read. I may have seen some of the plot twists coming, and had a hard time in the beginning keeping some of the character names straight in my head, but overall it was a novel about looking past a person's reputation or actions and searching for their emotions and motives.
The main character is a fiery, independent woman who hates letting other people make decisions for her. I loved her, honestly. I thought in the beginning that her strength would visibly sizzle out as the novel went on and as she fell in love (like many other books I've read), but I was thankfully wrong. Shazi kept her stubbornness and tenacity strong throughout the entire book and I was incredibly happy for it.
Some side characters I wish I knew more about, and could delve a bit into their stories more, but otherwise I could feel their need in the plot.
Not sure how I personally feel about Khalid yet, but I can understand Shazi's feelings towards him.
Also, I loved the stories she told, and was very grateful that they weren't overlooked and paraphrased to save time.
Great read, nice one to relax and kill time with.
