Helpful Score: 2

This book starts off well, showing images of Arab-American life post 9/11. The plot quickly decays, becoming predictable and melodramatic. The ending, while giving nothing away, was slightly different than I imagined, however the narrative was completed in such a way as I felt cheated (although my mother, who also read it, stated, "I guess that is how it is in life,") I needed to read this for a book club or I would not have finished it.
