It’s so sad, so real, so good in a terrific, heartbreaking way.I felt very uncomfortable with Sarah's plan of transitioning. It’s just so wrong and ignorant and wrong. I understand the terrible fate she’s facing but damn. I KNEW that would not work out or end well. It through me for a loop how diffe...
It was heartbreaking to watch Nasrin want something so bad that she could not have. Her desire consumed her and yet it was unreachable to her. She is living the life that was expected of her, a life that is right and just and she’s miserable. She tells herself that it will be okay and that things wi...
„If You Could Be Mine“ ist ein weiteres Buch, das ich auf der Young Adult – Bestenliste des Rolling Stone entdeckte. Die Autorin Sara Farizan ist die Tochter iranischer Einwanderer, wurde allerdings in den USA geboren. Außerdem ist sie lesbisch. Normalerweise ist mir die sexuelle Orientierung von Au...
I received an eARC of this book from the publisher via Netgalley for an honest review. If You Could Be Mine was a book I wanted to love and wanted to give five stars to but could not. The synopsis pulled me in - I looked forward to reading about Sahar and Nasrin's love for one another in the conte...
Sara Farizan's "If You Could Be Mine" is both an illuminating and frustrating read, if I'm reflecting upon the experience. No doubt in my mind it's a beautifully told story, and I found myself immersed in the brief read. But I'll admit my frustration came with the naivete of the characters and som...
Good, but not great... At first I had very high hopes as I was reminded of Bali Rai, an author I've loved reading since my teens. But this book didn't quite live up to them.I loved the controversial topic, the conflict between the different characters and within the characters themselves. I loved th...
If You Could Be Mine was one of my most anticipated books of the year. It sounded like the kind of book that would make me cry, hold me breath, and, most of all, think. But did it live up to my expectations? Not exactly. Read the rest of the review at The Page Sage.
I don't usually read books like If You Could Be Mine. They just aren't my thing. Angsty contemporaries? Not what I find entertaining or enjoyable. So when an opportunity came up to review this, I passed on it. But then, I came across it at BEA and sort of felt it was kismet. Generally if a book keep...
This review is also posted on my blog at Thoughts and Pens.This book has a very interesting premise and the first time I read its synopsis, I instantly knew that I have to have it. This book would be my first read about LGBT. And what’s even more interesting is that it was set in Iran where being...
This book was received from the publisher for review via Netgalley.I first learned about If You Could Be Mine while browsing Netgalley a few months ago. I thought it sounded interesting, so I requested it. And I’ve seen it around a bit more recently since the release date is quickly approaching. I d...
