The theme of this book is never recovering from having your teenage heart broken, only take that to the extreme. Liked the supporting cast but they drop off in the latter half of the book.

well it was a great reading. unfortunately i read this book in russian translation and it has some flaws. it doesn’t affect the storytelling or understanding of the plot but left me with strange taste in my mouth, so my review is kind of a trigger warning for those who’ll decide to read the book in russian 
overall the book depicts tehran in the 50s, it’s beautiful culture and complicated history. 100% recommend reading

the book will hit you with teenage boy and teenage girl relationship, the girl is 14 and the boy is older (don’t remember his age). their relationship went kinda explicit though there is no graphic description of it. just be aware
