I saw the movie first and loved it - I actually think the movie is better than the book. However, the books is really wonderful. :)
This book was just...okay. It didn't spend too long on unnecessarily long and descriptive intimate scenes which is always a plus. The editing is unfortunately poor. The wrong their is even used in chapter 15 or 16. The constant jumping between perspectives is also so confusing. The ending is nevertheless cute enough to make it worth reading once.

the movie is incredibly accurate... i could hear the actor's voices as i read some sentences
A beautiful story but more simple and less nuanced than The World Unseen (I realise that's a tall order).
I want to know more about Maya and her thriftiness, Tala's married sister's anorexia and what will happen to lovely Hani...I agree that Tala shouldn't marry him but that guy is so nice even I like him! Those details made the book richer but made the inevitable ending kind of fall flat.
Tala and Leyla also kind of seemed a bit insta-love. I would have liked more substance to their relationship, maybe a slower unfolding. I don't really see why Leyla could not have as easily made something with Jennifer this is just "fate" or something in the story. I would also have appreciated more culture clash and religious complexity.
Nevertheless it was a good book, better than most romance book and worth a look.

Leyla looked at him, tears in her eyes. ‘I’m gay,’ she whispered. Sam stared in disbelief. ‘But I’ve only been gone two hours.’
I'm not sure if this was supposed to be as funny as I found it.

I can't THink Straight is one of my favorite books so when I saw the ebook was available on Hoopla I got really excited. Sometimes things work better seen than reading. Plays for instance and often books in my opinion. I loved the characters here and getting to be in their heads a bit more than what you get in the movie form but couldn't get over some of these choices in the writing. The perspective switches being the main one. It hopped around so much within pages and paragraphs. It didn't feel cohesive and was a problem for me. Still really enj0oyed being able to approach something I've watched a handful of times in a different manner.
