This one was a DNF for me. I picked it up for book club, and while I really wanted to get into it — especially with such a powerful title and the promise of strong women in a tense political backdrop — it just didn’t hold my attention. The pacing felt slow, and I couldn’t connect enough with the characters to stay invested. Maybe I’ll come back to it one day, but for now, it just wasn’t the read for me.
The oppression of woman in Iran comes to life in this story about two woman who are besties from their first day at school. Reads a bit YA in the first half but develops into an engaging story with an interesting historical and political perspective.
