3.5 stars 
 After hearing so much great things about this book, I find that I am kind of disappointing after actually reading it since I was hoping for so much more. As much as that goes, I still really enjoyed this book. The story line is great, and the relationship is wonderful too. I must say that at first I found Shahrzad kind of on my nerves, I do understand where she is coming from, but her attitude just kind of bothers me. However, as the book goes on, I started to like her more and more, and by the end of the book, I have became a fan of hers. I also really liked Khalid. His character is so interesting especially once you see underneath his mask. I really liked him and Shahrzad together. 
 Overall, I do enjoy this book, but I still kind of feel a little disappointed at it.
