In Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, sixteen-year-old half-Hindu/half-Parsi Zarin Wadia is the class troublemaker and top subject for the school rumor blogs, regularly leaving class to smoke cigarettes in cars with boys, but she also desperately wants to grow up and move out of her aunt and uncle's house, perhaps realizing too late that Porus, another non-Muslim Indian who risks deportation but remains devoted to Zarin, could help her escape.

Intense submitted by zmclaugh on July 26, 2018, 12:38pm An intense, dark book about harassment and abuse. Worth the read, but dark subject material.

Intense submitted by maya29 on July 3, 2020, 11:34pm Very intense book covering heavy topics. I would still recommend reading it!!
