Fairly certain I read this years ago, rereading for work and just as emotional. Just wish I saw more relationship development at the beginning. ( ) This one was heartbreaking. I was glad for the Author Note at the end juxtaposing her happy arranged marriage to the abject horror of an arrangement which was Naila's. I was also heartened that Amin was portrayed in a sympathetic light, also affected by cultural expectations as much as Naila. One thing bothered me: did Naila really think that she could sneak and go to prom without it getting back to her parents? This story of teen spirited away to the Indian subcontinent for a forced arranged marriage reminds me of another novel I've read The Love & Lies of Rukhsana Ali by Sabina Khan. This book was so hard to read. So full of betrayals and so true to life that I found it gut-wrenching. If you want an excellent book on the plight of women in the world and arranged marriages from an inside view, this one has a lot to say. Naila's story made me angry, but I appreciate that the author tried to offer a balanced perspective on the subject. Advanced copy provided by Edelweiss. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
