Instantly you are gripped into Amir's story with the heartache and triumphs he experiences as he struggles with the notion of coming out to his Muslim family. It is a refreshing story that is not only amazing to read, but it also educated me on his culture and gave an insight into the struggles someone may face being gay in a Muslim household.
Juggling blackmail, new relationships, college applications and the threat of being forced to come out to his family, he decides to run away to Italy. Something we've all dreamed of at some point in our life - running away from our problems - but does it actually play out as great as it seems?
I loved the way the story was told, starting out in the airport after his trip and re-telling his experiences through flashbacks. It definitely gave an exciting element! Would definitely reccoment and I'm going to buy the book to read the rest!
