Best of Friends by Kamila Shamsie
2.0
reflective slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: N/A

I mostly enjoyed this coming-of-age story of two Pakistani girl’s from Karachi, experiencing the changes in the political climate during the 80’s & on into their adult years. 
The second half of the story, or the adulthood of the two characters just didn’t really captivate me, unfortunately. While I enjoyed the characters as children & could appreciate the strength of them as women…. it plot got kind of boring.
