Good pacing, wonderful descriptions (0 more)
Pretty good book
So the book is set at the very beginning of the Iranian Revolution – Marco is an American English teacher who’s come to Iran for a year. While there, he falls in love with his roommate’s cousin. The book is really their love story, while surrounded by political and religious unrest.

The writing is excellent. I’m sure I would get more out of the book if I could read Farsi, as each chapter is begun by a few lines of poetry in Farsi, written in both Arabic script and English letters. But the pacing is perfect, the descriptions apt – I really enjoyed this book.

Two guys just talking
I found these guys on YouTube and then went over to castbox to listen to them since that app can be closed and still play the podcast and found the content was funny and did inspire some poetry within me. I'd say the only thing that left me with a bad taste was the amount of bad language, but it is something I was able to push through just to hear what they were saying. It was rather interesting and again funny so worth it. It' called random nothingness.

This is a really beautiful collection of poetry written straight from the heart of the author. The subject matter of each poem changes throughout the book, containing life, love, nature and beauty.
It is a short, refreshing read which I recommend.
The main reasons I removed some stars was because some of the writing and poems were not to my personal taste (no fault of the author) and it is very obvious that english is not the author's first language as there were quite a few spelling and editing errors which made some of the poems quite difficult to read and understand. Other than that this was a nice and pleasant read.

Fun Writing Style
* I received a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.*
This book is beautifully written. It is written in a poetry style that matches well with the characters personalities. The story is that of a young man and woman who were each others first love running into each other 10 years later. I will say that it wasn't as light as I originally expected it to be, but I enjoyed the characters critic of young love and love in general. The ending also fits well with the mood of the book. Over all this wasn't my absolute favorite, but it definitely deserves a read, if not for the story than for the writing style.
