This book is literally one of my favourite books of all time. Elif Shafak is my favourite author and I can say that this book is my favourite of hers with confidence. I can't really explain but reading this book was an emotional roller coaster. I loved the character Leyla and her friends, it felt like they were real people and I was reading about their life. There are some instances that made me stop reading so I could digest what happened in a scene so I highly recommend checking the content warnings before reading. The storylines made me cry a lot, and cry again when I though how realistic they actually were.
