Driving by Starlight by Anat DeracineMy rating: 2 of 5 stars
I received this free eARC novel from NetGalley. This is my honest review.
I've had this book for forever and finally got around to reading it. Overall it was a decent novel. I'm a very 21st century girl, who speaks my mind and I'm very independent, so this life style that Leena goes through every day? I wouldn't be able to survive.
To have to depend on a man and have a man twerk me how my life is going to be literally makes me shudder. I'm very proud of Leena for taking charge of her life and finding a legal way to change her future.
There is a lot of religion in this book. I don't practice any religion in my own country, so I was really lost when the book started talking about the Islamic culture. For those bits I just had to skip over because no amount of reading and re-reading was going to help me make any sense of it.
Overall I'm glad I got a chance to read this book. I was definitely educated about this culture and it made me appreciate my life and the freedoms that I have.
