review 1: (NO SPOILERS!) Damn that was such a good book! The ultimate contemporary, if you ask me. I'd be lying if i said i didn't love it. It was so BEAUTIFULLY written. And i must say, i admired the writer's boldness and her style was just CAPTIVATING! So descriptive.. So honest. God, i freaking loved this story. Loved how all independent stories intertwined into one, i loved how the author magically created a tangled mess of it and then PERFECTED the ending. Admittedly, stereotyping was vivid in this book, but most of it was either the sad truth, or the CHARACTER'S genuine opinion. Because i hardly think the author believed any of this nonsense, and she even contradicted most of the stereotyping when writing from a different character's view. I also loved how it's set in Dubai an... mored even though it doesn't send a very flattering message about Arabs, i enjoyed reading about places i recognized and relating to some things for a change!
review 2: The book was badly edited for a start. The English was bad and there were many punctuation typos, hence losing the rhythm of the book. The whole book was depressing. Every character was unhappy with their situation in life and wallowed. It was a book of wallowing. One person being lost in their oppressive emotions is bad enough but when there are four, that's whole new ball game.I will not be recommending this book. less
