3 stars? 3.5? 2? Who fucking knows. 
 I just finished this and I still don't know if I actually liked it? I liked Shazi. And Despina. And Jalal kind of? Khalid confused me and I don't know how I feel about him. 
 This dumb book. 
 Months later edit: the more I think about this book, the more annoyed I get. 1.5-2 stars. Utter meh.
