I’m not really sure what I was expecting with this book, honestly. I was a bit worried about it being Middle Grade, since I’ve never read MG before and I was afraid it’d be too sophomoric for me. But true to Tahereh’s writing, it was quite beautiful! The only thing really MG about this book is the characters’ ages and disposition.

Now I’m caught up on my Goodreads challenge as well as ARC August and my review […]

Sign up for Bout of Books 17 HERE I’M SO EXCITED FOR THIS YOU GUYS. I’m going to admit, I’m pretty behind on ARC August. Yay procrastination! I was hoping for a readathon to use as an excuse to catch up on some reading, so this one came at the perfect time!
