I really enjoyed the first book so I quickly read through this one. However; I found myself skipping through sentences because the writer was very meticulous in her descriptions of everything. It was a little boring but I was on my toes with the conflicts the character had to face; it was painful to read as she faced with his family, ex girlfriend and the threat to be sent back to Iran. All in all I wouldn't read this one again because the first book ended perfectly for me. Well, this book was a disappointing sequel to Veil of Roses, but I so desperately wanted to know what happened to Tami and Ike that I still enjoyed the listen. Tami and the rest of the characters are still as lovable in this book as in the first, but Fitzgerald oversimplified American and Iranian culture so much it made me cringe. I felt like she basically said: Iran is terrible, America is free and wonderful. What felt like her own personal opinions got in the way of the characters themselves and their development. Still, it's a light fluffy read with endearing characters that I cheered for the entire listen.
I love everything this book stood for. Hopefully I will have a review up soon!

I enjoyed this book, but not as much as the first one. It was just okay.
