The book in my opinion was very uninteresting in the beginning but in the end, it became something that i wont forget, and in a way it reminded me of the saying, "if you love someone, let them go." in the end of the book, Mariam had to let go of Laila because she loved her and her family, she sacrificed everything for Laila. I think that everyone who is in 10th grade should read this book and be reminded how we are very lucky and fortunate to be in the country that we are in.
