I am so sorry but this book was just too painful to read through but I do have to say, what I like abt Khaled Housseini’s writing is that it is satisfyingly tolerable

This was honestly one of my favorite books ever. I thoroughly enjoyed the writing style and I loved all the characters so much

(except Rasheed)

It was so heartbreaking as well, I am someone who has never cried from a book, and there were a few instances where my eyes started watering. There are a couple mature topics but I definitely recommend this book.

This book is so sad omg. There needs to be more content warnings for this whole book. I did like it though, the characters were good and I felt i understood their thoughts and motivations for most of the book. That dad can rot and I hope he does.
