Book 1:
4.9 stars because at some point I hated the main characters...
Now, I know this is an Arabic book and I should be writing my review in Arabic but it's one am right now and my book brain isn't functioning properly.
Plot: SO MANY PLOT TWISTS AAAAHHHHH and why is everyone in the story making up a far-from-what's-happening conclusion about things?? And just WHY was I hooked from the first page?? So many questions that I have no answer to..
This book was very thrilling because it was so realistic and not in any way cheesy!! I also really liked it because this is the first book ever that I read from Arab-Muslim POV characters which made me feel so relatable and at ease with the characters and setting.
My book-reading record is now 517 pages in 24 hours. 24 hours went like this: 12AM to 3AM and then one hour the next morning and then continued the book from 9PM to 12PM.

Book 2:
Ok this book was such an emotional roller coaster. I had to clear that up. There were so many (complex) plot twists, the characters were also highly complex which is wow and I must say I absolutely loved this book and can you believe I read two 500page books in two days??? Personally I am amazed and scared at how gripping this book was!
Overall, I loved this book and ESPECIALLY the ending. Very satisfying. Lots of huge plot twists! A romance novel in such a non-cheesy and extremely realistic! Simply awesome.
Recommending this to anyone who can read Arabic or can learn and then read Arabic :)
