This story is told through a monologue of a young Pakistani man talking to an American man in the marketplace of Lahore, Pakistan. The man tells the American of how he himself once lived in the US and begins to describe his life over there and all the reasons he didn't stay.

This book was interesting for its unusual way of storytelling. You really felt like the protagonist was talking directly to you, and I felt the atmosphere of the marketplace in Lahore really came through the pages. However, I really hated the protagonist. He didn't seem a particularly nice person and there were so many things he did that left me feeling a bit 'ugh'. I also didn't like his love interest Erica, and he seemed a bit possessive over her in a way that creeped me out.

The ending ultimately left me feeling a bit confused, even when I read the past paragraph over again. I'm not 100% sure what I'm supposed to think happened.
