The foster home abuse is a short section and can be skipped without missing any big plot points.

I LOVED THIS BOOK. Go in blind. Just read it. You will love it.

It made me cry more than any book ever has. Actually no book or movie makes me cry. Yes, Nadia Hashimi, you did the history of Afghanistan justice.

This was an interesting read, I just thought the story lacked some pace.
