I have mixed feelings about this book, and that's because of the two interwoven story lines. The story of Saba in Iran had me captivated and I really enjoyed this storyline. The story of her twin Mehtab, in the USA, I just couldn't stand. I found those parts of the books to be boring and a little irritating. It didn't add anything to Saba's story. Overall, the Saba part of the story was very interesting and well written. Hard to recommend though because there was big sections about Mehtab that just dragged on too much.
