I read this for the "Read Harder" challenge (full post about all of my choices for that coming eventually!) and because I loved The Kite Runner when I read it back in high school. I didn't like this one quite as much, but still found it engaging and moving and really well-written. It's emotional and all about family ties, but I found it slightly confusing in parts and not quite as captivating as I remember Kite Runner to be. A solid read, though!
