A great low-key read! Interesting setting, characters, and plot. Not a lot of extreme emotions, either up or down, but that was kind of refreshing. This was my first time reading Deeanne Gist and I plan to read more!

While I agree with some of the other reviewers that this book might be a bit sensual for a conservative or inexperienced person, I LOVED the way this book addressed relationships (male/female, parent/child, and God/child, and with self). Personally, I think the lessons that can be learned in this book far outweigh anything that could be considered too forthright. It's a delicate balance, and I thought Deeanne Gist handled it superbly. And for some girls about to embark on the dating world, it might be good to experience someone else' decisions in a book in order to help make their own decisions before beginning their own relationships.

Fun, fast read. If you've enjoyed her other books, you'll certainly like this one. She makes me smile!

I really liked the characters in this book, and could empathize with their emotions and past. However, they drove me so crazy I almost stopped reading! Just talk to one another . . and stop running away! I suppose that's what keeps us reading :)

Surprisingly easy to read for a non-fiction book. I love the author's description of and insight into the people and culture of Afhganistan. Refreshingly original! The only drawback to this book was wanting to hear the ending to each persons story.

One of the reviews on the back of the book said it was "mesmerizing", and I think that word describes it very well. I couldn't put it down, but I'm also not sure I was happy with how it ended. In any case, I am still glad that I chose to take the journey of what could happen in their particular situation.

A strange and original story. To be honest, I'm not sure what to think. . .but I read it more than once :)
