Driving by Starlight | Anat Deracine

3 posts | 2 read | 4 to read

In this debut YA friendship story set in Saudi Arabia, two girls navigate typical teen issues—crushes, college, family expectations, future hopes, and dreams. Sixteen-year-olds Leena and Mishie are best friends. They delight in small rebellions against the Saudi cultural police—secret Western clothing, forbidden music, flirtations. But Leena wants college, independence—she wants a different life. Though her story is specific to her world (a world where it's illegal for women to drive, where a ten-year-old boy is the natural choice as guardian of a fatherless woman), ultimately it's a story about friendship, family, and freedom that transcends cultural differences. - GODWIN BOOKS -

Macmillan Children‘s Publishing Group and #netgalley sent me the ebook #arc for Driving By Starlight. This is the debut by Anat Deracine and it was so hard to put down. It‘s set in Saudi Arabia and centers around 16 year old Leena and focuses on the rights that women don‘t have. I feel like people who‘ve read The Hate U Give and Love, Hate and Other Filters would like this.
