Good book, I liked reading it. The jump cuts between the past and present were a bit jarring, but I understand that they were necessary so that we could see the complexities of Kinga's relationship with her folks. After awhile I did find myself skimming through the parts set in the past, I wanted to get back into the story of the present!
*********SPOILER*********
The ending wrapped up a little too easily and neatly. I mean, the whole book her parents are horrified that she's dating a Turkish guy, then her father goes on a racist rant at the boyfriend - in front of everyone - and then less than 24 hours later both parents are giving the relationship their blessing? Not believable. I get that she wanted to give us a happy ending, but we deserve a believable one.
