I wish this book had spent at least triple the amount of time on the friendship of Malak, Jenna, and Kees. Aside from the very, very beginning, and the last 70ish pages, their friendships with one another are thought of with nostalgia. These women exemplify all the best qualities of friendship, and I wanted to have seen more before they had to face their defining moments. The meat of this novel, the in-between, made it seem like everything happened to Malak, Jenna, and Kees; a seismic shift occurred upon their reconciliation.
