A Very Large Expanse of Sea by Tahereh Mafi

5.0

---

I loved this book it has been the best high school drama with other elements like what it would be like for a middle eastern person after 9/11 when tensions were high. I really loved the characters so much especially Shirin and Ocean. What I really loved about Shirin is that with the help of someone whe cares for she learns not everyone will think horribly of you based on your nationality or race and you can believe people. What I loved about Ocean is how he never cared about what people thought of Shirin he would do anything to defend her. I really liked how their relationship developed even if it took awhile she learned to trust him and not let her insecurities get the best of her. I really liked the plot it was a great drama about how someone is treated in the aftermath of 9/11 and how this would all play out in a high school drama. So overall I loved this book and I plan to read more by this author at some point.
