Day one is still not over 😵‍💫🫨🫨 !

I am 200 pages in, and the first day is not over yet. Is this book set over the span of a weekend ?? 😂

I don't understand why they refer to him as the “idiot”. He is just outspoken, honest and authentic. The prince seems to be such a pure soul. I am wondering whether this perspective is a way to show, through contrast, how corrupt society is. Anyway, this book has hooked me — I am very eager to know what happens next.

So far, this book has been very interesting and enlightening !

..... I still don't like parallel universes 😭😭

...I have never been a fan of the concept of parallel universe....

“Fear, my father once told me, is simply our realisation of a lack of control.”
I love how the opening line is an universal quote !

Euh. That's cheating ! This is not okay.....

By chapter 23, it feels as though Marjan Kamali is trying too hard to make the story depressing.

🥺🥺🥺
“She was doing calligraphy when I told her-” . I was sure she was the one behind it all. But that is so sad, how a single action can alter two people's lives forever. It reminds me of Atonement by Ian McEwan. Once again the innocent lovers are the victims. 🥺🥺🥺

WHAT?
I was just about to update my progress by saying that there is nothing more bittersweet and delicate than a book whose story unfolds a romance between young people amidst a war or a revolution. Then I decided to give in to two more chapters, and then—WHAT? I take back my words! There is nothing sweet about this love story; it is solely BITTER. I’M IN SHOCK 😭😭

What an interesting first chapter !

Finally, there are some interesting plot twists !

I dislike every single character, but I'm so behind on my goodreads challenge that I have no choice but to keep reading 😭
