's review

it was amazing

It has been a couple months since I read this book and I still can't stop thinking/talking about it....

This story legit changed my life and my views towards sooo many things. This story will stick with me for the rest of my life and I hope to pass this book down to generations to come.

A Thousand Splendid Suns absolutely destroyed me.

I cried through out this book. I’m STILL crying. I was hyperventilating. Gasping for air. Had to find my old dusty inhaler to catch my breath while sobbing. The snot bubbles that were coming down my nostrils… disgusting. That’s what this book did to me.

I still have so much to say but I can’t even find the words.
Please please read this book if you haven’t already.

"she is the noor of my eyes and the sultan of my heart"


"Because a society has no chance of success if its women are uneducated"
