omg that was so fun… i love parvaneh sm and her and soraya are so cute :,) there were so many good plot twists too?? at first i was confused bc it says on storygraph that this is lgbtqia+ but then there were only azad and i was like 🤨 have i been fooled.

but no and omg azad being the shahmar was such a twist like i did not see that coming. i also thought that maybe soraya would end up with laleh somehow but i didn’t expect parvaneh :o but that’s sm better omg. and when her mum deliberately ‘cursed’ her? like damn.

i wish there was a sequel or some sort of mini novella bc i want to see what it’s like for soraya living with the pariks and obviously for more soraya + parvaneh <33
