I read this book for 2.5 hours, that is what moon+ reader said. That's the fastest book I've read so far and I am in awe on myself. So this book made me stay up all night just to finish it therefore it's great. I made mo go 'HUHUHUHUHU' LOL!

Naila’s conservative immigrant parents have always said the same thing: She may choose what to study, how to wear her hair, and what to be when she grows up—but they will choose her husband. Following their cultural tradition, they will plan an arranged marriage for her. And until then, dating—even friendship with a boy—is forbidden. When Naila breaks their rule by falling in love with Saif, her parents are livid. Convinced she has forgotten who she truly is, they travel to Pakistan to visit relatives and explore their roots. But Naila’s vacation turns into a nightmare when she learns that plans have changed—her parents have found her a husband and they want her to marry him, now! Despite her greatest efforts, Naila is aghast to find herself cut off from everything and everyone she once knew. Her only hope of escape is Saif . . . if he can find her before it’s too late.

I cried a lot while reading this book and I bet the 0.5 of my reading time is mostly me crying while reading. THE FEELS THIS BOOK GAVE ME! This book surpassed my expectations of it and the time I spent reading it in a school night was so worth it. I do not know how would I explain this book to share my thoughts of it, it is just so ugh! Please just read it so you can understand what I feel right now. Let us cry together.
