Where the Streets Had a Name by Randa Abdel-Fattah

2.0

I wanted to like this book, but the voice of the narrator was inconsistent and the end of the book was twenty pages past appropriate and I did not like it. Why end on the wedding of a sister we were never really given much of a reason to care about? Why not end when she makes it back to Bethlehem? More annoying, however, was the narrator who was supposed to be thirteen but sounded a lot more like nine most of the time. A very frustrating book overall -- it had a lot of potential that it failed to fulfill.
