Oh my gosh I ate this book up!! I picked this up because StoryGraph recommended it to me and I love the cover, safe to say that that was one of the best decisions I have ever made. This book made me laugh, blush, cry, feel called out, and reassess myself and how I views others, and I LOVED IT!! I also adore both Shirin and Ocean so much,
I love how strong she was and how Ocean took the time to understand her and made sure she knew she’s loved :(. He inspired me to make sure I am like that with everyone I meet!


Definitely need more books by Tahereh Mafi in my life because I was obsessed with this book!!
