Romance- Rated PG 13.
Blurb
A journey of love and life . . . Nariman, Iman, Sherine, and Nahla are four friends whose lives are closely intertwined. Diverse backgrounds and different experiences define them. Love, life, heartache — each experience is one they've known intimately. Throughout their tumultuous lives, their friendships have never wavered. Their minds, hearts, and souls are bound together, tested to their limits. Each unique circumstance draws them ever closer. Join them as they embark on a memorable journey that will live in their hearts forever.
I gave it five out of five stars.
First I would like to say the cover art is lovely! Second, this romance was a little different from what I'm used to. There are no explicit scenes. It's all about the heart, not about the physical attraction that you often see within the genre.
Nariman, Iman, Sherine, and Nahla are four friends with different backgrounds but the same wish; to find love. But how do you find it and will it be worth it to let someone into your heart? Each woman has a different perception about relationships with slightly varying desires.
In this book you are given the perspective of each character- including the males hoping to gain their interest. They're flawed and insecure which adds to the realism within story. The character development was wonderful and the plot line sucked me in until the very end. I found it easy to relate and was eager to see how these strong women, and men, would handle some of the things I've struggled with myself.
The four friends often interact with one another, lending support and advice even as they struggle to untangle the fears, doubts, and worries they face in their own situation.
I wish the book was longer so I could see more about the male's point of view. Being about 116 pages, it's quick but an incredible read. Not only are you given the romance aspect of it but the self-discovery these characters make is lovely. You will fall in love with each person, silently rooting them on as the roads go a little bumpy.
Tarek Refaat is a master with words; this is a book I can see myself easily revisiting over and over again.
I highly recommend adding Ribbons and Heels to your collection!
