rachelja 's review for:
Some Girls: My Life in a Harem
by Jillian Lauren
I think I'd give this book 4.5 stars if I could.
Turns out, I love all the seedy details of life in a harem. Maybe I liked it more knowing it eventually came crashing down. Either way, the chapters on life in the harem were so engaging, I found myself wanting to read it when I really had other things to do. However, the flashbacks to other aspects of her life were just not as compelling. I think Jillian Lauren is an interesting person - I found her blog and wasted a good hour on it - but in this book, it's the otherworldly living in the harem that really captivates. That said, I'll happily pick up her next book on international adoption.
