3.5 stars.

It’s been a few weeks since I’ve finished this one. I have dropped my rating from 3.5 to 3 stars. This one was just an okay read for me. I loved Mina’s story 100% more than Margot’s. I actually found myself quite annoyed with Margot several times. The amount of times she talks about how she’s ashamed of her mom and her culture is just so sad. Mina’s story is so much more fascinating and if this book was just about her I would have loved it so much more. A bit disappointed with this one since it’s Reese’s BC pick. I might not have the same taste as her…
