Girls Of Riyadh by Rajaa Alsanea



I enjoyed reading this book after hearing so much about it. i think the way she expressed her story can definitely be improved but you can understand the essence of what she is trying to convey.

i think its a challenge in a sense to know a guy in Riyadh. girls are obligedly required to accept arranged marriages and man has all the power to do whatever. i think the girls of riyadh tend to me more modern nowadays but still in a way are forced to leave one of the most important decision in life to their parents or male uncles for that matter.

its a definitely an interesting book. the quotes that accompanied each chapter are also fun and poignant, reminded you of what love supposed to be and how it supposed to feel.

kudos to the author to bravely share the story to the rest of the whole world of the coveted and sheltered life of girls of the saudi arabia.
