The premise interested me and I found it a good book. I listened to the audio book and it was a short 5 discs. The book was more about being gay/lesbian than transsexual in Iran. I wondered how the book was going to end, and I was happy with the ending. At times Sahar seemed very immature and quick thinking about what consequences to what she might or might not do. That comes from her being young. I would recommend the book.
