review 1: These are probably the most uninspired stories I have ever had the misfortune of reading; I don't empathize with the writers in the slightest. I know 7th graders who can write better than most of these women. These stories are poorly written and lack any sort of insight. It's as if they never took them time to revise their stories and mistake their tween angst for depth. 0/5 stars, in my opinion.
review 2: I wanted to give it a 2.5 star but as I didn't have the option its nearer a 3 than a 2. I suppose I found it a little disappointing. There weren't many stories I could relate to I suppose. Many seemed to be jetting around the world or discovering their sexuality. One of the stories just seemed like erotica and to be honest I couldn't see which part of her li... morefe was supposed to be that of a Muslim. I was expecting more stories of arranged (not forced) marriages and how love really does grow. Or what steps people took to find their husband. Instead I felt like I was reading stories of girls who after several boyfriends finally found the one they married. Don't get me wrong some stories I really enjoyed reading but there weren't enough practising Muslims in this book for me. I did like the fact that at the back of the book a little was written about each storyteller. I would definitely be interested to find out what happened to those who lost in love. Did/will they ever marry? Its a quick easy read but I waited a month for this book to arrive and it wasn't worth the wait. less
