I really enjoyed the first half of this book and was really insightful of a friendship of two young girls and the life they had in Pakistan. The second half which is then many years later when they are both grown women living in London is not at as good and although there is a story it didn’t feel it really went anywhere. The characters were good throughout and brought good characteristics to the story, this is probably why I managed to read it until the end. It took me ages to read in comparison to other books and was disappointed with the ending. The ending didn’t really do anything to bring closure to the book so feel it didn’t get the ending it deserved. Overall an okay book but I wouldn’t be in a rush to read any others by this author now. The cover of the book is lovely and really like that. As they say never judge a book by it’s cover and this is a prime example
