I really enjoyed reading about women's lives in Saudi Arabia. My sister recommended me this book from her friends and it did not disappoint. Although, a lot of what my suspicions of what women were treating like in Saudi Arabia we're true, it was so interesting how she felt and reacted seeing it through her perspective. I would warn this book really talks about some heartbreaking and devastating stories that happen to women. If you are sensitive to any sexual assault or abuse would caution away from this book. Otherwise, highly recommend if you love to read and learn about other cultures and women's roles in the Middle East.
