This story is like pink cotton candy. It's pretty, it's simple and there's not much substance. The ending is predictable and far too easily wrapped up. I don't know what I expected really but I thought there would be something more meaty and meaningful to a story about a young modern Iranian woman coming to the USA for 3 months. The story didn't stay with me. I read it and then I didn't care about the story at all. This is no Kite Runner or Reading Lolita In Tehran. I would call this immigrant chick lit. This book could have been so much better if there was some depth to it.
This story is easy to read. There's nothing overly disturbing. Tamila is a fish out of water. She has lived in the USA when she was very young but after a lifetime in Iran after the Islamic Revolution she has few memories of her toddler days in the USA. She comes to the USA for a short visit to visit her only sister who is married and settled in Arizona. She needs to find an American willing to marry her or she will have to go back to Iran at the end of the 90 days. I'm glad I got this for free. I'm not sure I would pay to buy this book.
