As Naila is forced into a life she doesn’t want, she begins to wonder if her old life is even possible anymore. Will Saif figure out what has happened and find Naila in time?
Review
Written in the Stars is an intense, suspenseful, yet beautiful novel about culture, love and family. A couple of reasons why I enjoyed Written in the Stars so much were the inspiring characters and the cultural references that made up most of the plot. I hope you love Written in the Stars as much as I did!
