Seventeen-year-old Rukhsana Ali tries her hardest to live up to her conservative Muslim parents' expectations, but lately she's finding that impossible to do. She rolls her eyes when they blatantly favor her brother and saves her crop tops and makeup for parties her parents don't know about. Luckily, only a few more months stand between her carefully monitored life in Seattle and her new life at Caltech. But when her parents catch her kissing her girlfriend Ariana, all of Rukhsana's plans fall apart.

Her parents are devastated and decide to whisk Rukhsana off to Bangladesh, where she is thrown headfirst into a world of arranged marriages and tradition. Through reading her grandmother's old diary, Rukhsana gains some much-needed perspective and realizes she must find the courage to fight for her love without losing the connection to her family as a consequence.

olha...

esse livro estava até interessante até a metade, mas depois as coisas vão desandado de uma forma absurda e o final....sem palavras. tinha tudo para ser uma leitura excelente, mas a autora fez umas escolhas para o plot e desenvolvimento muito questionáveis e que não rolou comigo, mas o começo é bom, pelo menos.
