Sometimes I really get uncertain about how I feel about a book when it is a not so compelling commentary. Premise is an American-Egyptian woman meets an Egyptian man after Arab Spring, and they go back and forth playing out stereotypes and making up narratives and stories for each other. And then the last third of the book is a commentary in and of itself about the writing process and memoirs which didn‘t do what I think it hoped to do.

Stunning!!!!!! Elegant debut! In three clear and distinct sections that transports the reader and immerses them in a world of love, crisis, and the search for self!

I get a lot of reading done during the playoffs. I‘m counting on it this year because I‘m two books behind on my challenge. I like to watch games with the volume low so I don‘t get too distracted.
