A story based on true events happening around the world is one to sink your teeth into. I recommend this book because it is a fantastic read that opens your eyes to the torment of forced marriages happening in places such as Pakistan which is where the book is taken place.
A young girl Ameera has many hopes and dreams of her futures that awaits. Already knowing she will have an arranged marriage because of the culture and traditions of her father she has no worries, but when she is sent away to her family in Pakistan for 1 month things begin to take a turn for the worst. With no contact between he friends and family at home other than Papa, Ameera’s trip is looking sorrowful. But things can only get worse as her father’s surprise is revealed and Ameera goes into shock.
This book was a great read and I definitely recommend it to readers looking for books that will have you on the edge of your seat.

This book is awesome. For someone who hates reading (me) I loved this book. It is so so so addictive and easy to read. Its about a girl who lives in Australia, her father is Muslim and mother is Australian. Her dad doesn’t like her interacting with boys so he makes somoe special arrangement. I can’t say much more because that will give it away. If you like sad, thrilling, love, and intense types of books then I highly recommend you to read this great book! I rate it a 9.5/10 because its seriously is awesome. I couldn’t wait to read it every night because on each second page something thrilling is awaiting! READ THIS you will love reading after!
