Elizabeth E. (amaranthian1) reviewed on 7/5/2011

An easy light read, but I found the strict divide along the cultural lines to be lopsided and tiresome. Strong undertones of "look how awesome the west is compared to Iran? Aren't you glad that you're in the west? And those poor Iranian women! Aren't they lucky to have escaped here too" which grated after a while. "Strong Female Protagonist" kind of wasn't and I thought the end of the book tied things up a little too nicely. My favorite character ended up being SFP's brother in law, who basically just popped into the watch the situation bemusedly.

Meh.
