Many thanks to NetGalley, St Martin's Press and Macmillan Audio for gifting me both a digital and audio ARC of this novel by Sara Jafari, perfectly narrated by Honor Gilles and Majid Mehdizadeh-Valoujerdy. All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 4 stars!
It’s been years since Shirin has seen Kian, her best friend, after an incident at their school tore them apart. Since then, Shirin has lived with the weight of things left unsaid between them. She’s struggling at work, burned out with the cultural atmosphere at the publishing house. Shirin and Kian are desperate to make up for lost time, but can they, or will life repeat itself?
This is a book that will definitely make you think about racism and having the courage and strength to stand up for what is right. I loved how Shirin and Kian were the best people they each needed at pivotal times in their lives. May we all have such friends. This also shows how our childhood shapes us and follows us. The writing is beautiful and allows you to emotionally connect with these characters. I also liked the peek into the publishing world. This is a new author to me, and I’ll be looking for more from her!
