"From a review by Susan Wylie on Amazon: This is one of those books you read in a matter of a few days because you can't put it down. The character development starts right from the first pages, and I immediately felt like I knew Rachel and Aylin. I couldn't wait to find out what happens to these fast friends. It's a great story about friendship, cultural differences (or- more importantly- similarities). It reminds you of how often we, as Americans, misunderstand different cultures, especially Muslim ones; and how friendship transcends it all. Rachel and Aylin are perfectly awkward yet graceful teenagers on the cusp of adulthood, and when the book ends you find yourself rooting for both of them, and knowing that they will stay friends forever in spite of being thousands of miles apart.
