The line about death coming to you like a whimsical aim was one of the most beautiful lines I have ever read.

Saed and Nadia stories individually and together well formulated. Often times you don't know when one person in a situationship and the other begins. Although I like the author had a hard time stating the name of the relationship. I realized that it didn't need to categorize or quantified. It just was. I was confused by the sex of Saed's parents at the beginning of the book asking myself "I wonder what this will lead too."

However, the more you read, you think to yourself "yes it makes sense." It all ties together. Saed and Nadia journey of self-discovery, moving away from home, and being brave to choose themselves in the midst of great loss was admirable.

On a TOTAL unrelated but related thought. Have you read A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E Schwab? The whole time I read about the difficulties and privileges between Dark and Light London in Exist West. I couldn't help myself to think about the difficulty that went on in A Darker Shade of Magic which discusses 3-4 different types of Londons in that book. Although A Darker Shade of Magic was fantasy and a different genre than Exit West. I wonder if anyone else saw those slight (very slight) parallels?
