I Can't Think Straight
by Shamim Sarif
I was pretty disappointed with this book, it had such great potential from the synopsis, but it fell way short of my expectations.
I think the crux of my disappointment lay with the shortness of the story, which resulted in feeling like the book began halfway through a larger storyline. There was no getting to know the characters, and yet they quickly fell madly in love after one meeting. The author referred to how the characters families would react to Tala and Leyla coming out as gay, and yet this wasn't displayed on the page; just superficially glossed over, as if it wasn't a big deal in their worlds.
Overall, quite a let down and unfortunately not a book i would recommend if you are wanting a plot that is indepth, believable or engaging.
